I watched this old video to see what was suggested for making pastry. I was happy to see that the fat used was half margarine and half lard which is exactly what I used in the early 1950’s. The margarine was Stork brand and I think this came to be popular because butter was rationed in the war and some time afterwards. Margarine is out of favour nowadays and cannot even be found in Canada except the soft tub versions. 😊
I still use Stork for pastry. In the UK you can get it in tubs or in a foil wrapper. The one in the foil wrapper is harder. I also use a brand of fat called Cookeen instead of the lard. Half-stork, half-cookeen, makes the most lovely pastry.
James Bullock glad you enjoyed James! Look out for the second part which will be uploaded soon where Delia will teach some more advanced baking techniques including Puff Pastry.
Thank you! I have made Delia's flaky pastry for years. Its fool proof however I only make it for special occasions....as Delia said for Sausage rolls it is perfect!
@TheRenaissanceman65 Thankyou....I thought I might have remembered the origional showing of these but sadly I don't. Anyway it's great to see them now. I love some of the modern shows but I feel like I Delia demonstrates in more personal way and that she is doing it for us and not to impress the camera....if that makes sense.
James Bullock I love her latest Christmas special, the newest from 2009, which I hadn’t seen, where she cheekily says, “now professional chefs wouldn’t approve of this but we’re home cooks so it doesn’t matter.” Truer words have never been spoken! Saint Delia is so awesome. Since my mum and I moved to America, we hadn’t seen the special from 2009 and were catching up on UA-cam and it made us both laugh because it’s why we love Delia. She’s brilliant but she’s so personable and IDGAF about her recipes when it comes to making things easier for everyone. Anyone can do it. I’m a 2nd generation Delia fan, I grew up with my mum always having one of her recipe books open or just making something from memory because she’d done it so many times.
Never really saw the point of all the celebrity chefs that came after. Delia was all about getting your average person to cook. No fuss or twirls, just straight info presented in a soothing way.
This is fantastic! Thank you so very much for uploading this video. I have learned so many useful, new skills from Delia’s videos that I have now also signed up for Delia Online Cooking School.
We stan St. Delia! There will never be any better than her. Can’t believe she’s in her late 30s here 😊 Edit: 11:45 Can we get some love for the fact that the UK hadn’t converted to the metric system yet and she’s using imperial measurements for temperatures? “...Gas Mark 8, 450 degrees Fahrenheit or the equivalent in Centigrade.” I LOVE how 80s this is.
You can't beat homemade pizza. I don't know how anyone can stomach Dominoes slop and other takeaway or eat in pizzas are nothing special ( even wood fired pizzas can taste average especially if they are not cooked for very long ). We stopped buying ready made pizzas a few years ago because some of them don't taste of anything and I was the only one who liked Goodfellas deep pan pizzas but if you can make it yourself at least you know exactly what't in it.
Oui, nous avons encore beaucoup à apprendre de nos cousins français qui apprécient toujours vraiment et exigent une très bonne cuisine. Delia a probablement fait plus que quiconque en Angleterre pour éduquer la nation sur les bases. Je vous encourage à visionner quelques-unes de ses dernières vidéos qui ont des recettes anglaises traditionnelles qui, je suis sûr, impressionneraient même un Français - en particulier l'épisode sur les puddings anglais! Bonne cuisine
@@deliasmithfan Bonsoir, je plaisantais gentiment. La cuisine anglaise peut être excellente, aucun doute sur cette question. Je vais essayer quelques recettes. Merci pour votre très gentille réponse.
Reminds me of domestic science classes at school:) these basic skills are timeless and so nice to watch.
Delia has such a lovely way of putting things, so informative and helpful and inspiring. x
This video really takes me back in time, but the recipes themselves are timeless.
Thanks for posting. Classic UK TV

Thanks again for posting these videos. I've not seen these before for some reason. These are perfect for brushing up on the basics. Got to love Delia!

Her voice is so soothing and pleasant, not like the creepy asmr stuff you find these days in yt.
Thank you so much, greatly appreciated. I hope you are able to upload more of Deliah’s full episodes.

The gougère recipe is lovely. Have made it several times.
Welcome to 2020. Bread baking is up. Vintage is up. Delia Smith has always been up.
I like how they left the recipes on screen long enough to actually write them down.
This is priceless💖🍞🍕🌾👌😙🌱🌷
Delia has a very nice accent easy to listen to
Nice i love it.very composed

LOVE DELIA!!!!!
this has got a sort of Open University feel about it
Nobody puts Delia in the corner
"Some people would say that would serve four, but uh, I think just two because I'm very greedy."
heavenly.
Nice
Many thanks....p.s. you have probably realised that the Christmas one you uploaded last week is unviewable in the UK?
That so called pizza could sink a ship 😂
Isn’t delia smith stunning when she was younger,she hasn’t changed her looks in age either
It’s difficult to find a decent rolling pin these days
Anchovies!! blurgh!
"End of SIde One" ---- was this a VideoDisc?
Tour Creole yes it was originally a laserdisc
"Was that oven even on"
Conozco el efecto Delia

Quand on connait la cuisine anglaise, on se demande vraiment pourquoi Guillaume le Conquérant a tenu à se rendre à Hastings!

Side 1 of what???
Laserdisc

Oh lord, she had a desperate lazy tongue back then! Makes it unwatchable for me, I'm afraid.
