Delia Smith dedicates CBE to all home chefs

The doyenne of British cooking, Delia Smith, received her CBE from the Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace today and described it as a tribute to all home chefs. She said: “I still love cooking. I don’t like it, like all of us, when you’ve done a hard day’s work and have got to rush home and get a meal on the table, then it’s not much fun. But if I’ve got nothing to do and can lock myself in the kitchen for a couple of hours with the radio on then I love it.” Smith brought out her first recipe book, How to Cheat at Cooking, in 1971, and began her TV career two years later with a BBC series called Family Fare.
