PORTRAIT OF DELIA: TREVOR LEIGHTON. ADDITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS: GETTY/ISTOCK
It became known as ‘the Delia effect’: when the TV cook used a new or unusual ingredient in one of her recipes, there would be a stampede to buy it, with supermarkets running out. That’s the magic of Delia, and this is your exclusive opportunity to experience it up close, as she celebrates 50 years of food writing this autumn.
She’s inviting delicious.readers to join her for a celebratory dinner on Thursday 10 October. The event will take place at the Top of the Terrace at Norwich City Football Club, where Delia and her team head up a stylish catering operation.
