Beef in pastry? So it's basically beef Wellington. It's crazy and sad though that thanks to inflation, it's way too expensive to get a quarter of the ingredients, especially all that alcohol!
JohnKing : I noticed that every ingredient has been prepared....the "mis en place " would take "ages"...plus the calories, (lots, quite often), and the booze ( expensive) . Plus, the "time-lapse" makes it look easy... Imho, it all adds up to quite a palava ...🤔😊. Will do the red cabbage recipe...looks good 😊👍, and not pricey ingredients... no quantities given here : clever ! 😊🦉: Have to buy the book ! (L.O.L.😊). Happy New Year to all. 🇬🇧🌟😊🌹 🇬🇧💙🎉🎼🌈🌹🇬🇧
Love Delia.... never had a failed recipe, but I totally disagree on one point, which seems tiny but actually matters a lot imho. That is, never, ever, ever use foil to cover any steamed pudding, be it Christmas, suet, sponge or whatever. . Instead, cover the pud with buttered greaseproof paper first, pleating to allow any expansion, then cover with pleated muslin cloth, tie with string, then steam. When steamed and cold, change for clean coverings and store. Believe me, it really does taste better, and for some reason, suet puds and sponges are fluffier and just.... nicer! Honest!😊
This isn't her actual house. Hilarious. Delia has been a informative cook for many many many many years. This isn't her house though. She might own it though. Like the football club she played with for decades.
It's hardly work. You put it on and every few hours you check to make sure it hasn't boiled dry. If the water is low, add more, making sure its boiling.
Not at all, I and my family have eaten this way at Christmas all our lives (I’m 50 and they’re in their 70’s). We are all slim, fit, healthy active people on zero medication. It’s a special time,of year to gather with friends and family and eat delicious home cooked food. I’ve just spent the evening making delias bread sauce, red cabbage and cranberry and orange sauce that I will freeze and use on Christmas Day. I’ll be making Christmas cakes tomorrow, mum makes the Christmas puddings. If I had to choose my last supper this meal would be it, heaven on a plate.
Delia is a great cook, but she lives in a world of her own. A sort of upper middle class, wealthy, posh world. This show has "easy" or "simple" receipes according to her, but for most of us, they are difficult and very expensive to make. She is sort of preaching to the wealthy, upper middle class and beyond, and lets the rest of us settle for Jamie Oliver etc.
@@manmaje3596 You are one person. Just look at her ingredients and the time to make the food. She is preaching to a certain audience demo that is most certainly not working class mothers at home and have little money to spend on food.
Just exactly how many budget Christmas cookery shows do you know of? Cos I can tell you there aren't any. You adapt things. If you don't have all the ingredients, you substitute.
I find watching this to be very calming.
I watch this every year. Can’t beat the classics.
Same!
Agreed! Balm for the stressed out soul.

Its the audiovisual equivalent of valium
Have always rated Delia. She's just remarkable and inspirational
This is making me feel so Christmassy what a fantastic cook 👩🍳
I learnt to cook British food with Delia Smith. Her classic book ‘Complete cookery Course’ is my Bible!
Me too 👍😊
I adore Delia!
She is my main source of inspiration in the kitchen!
🥰🌿
My aunty made all the Christmas cakes for the family. She started in August/September. Every month she added a bit of booze to keep it moist !!
This is Bible in my house every year whilst trimming the tree
It's not Christmas until you're trimming your bush to Delia.
My favourite cook👏 And I love the Xmas programme best of all🥳⭐️🧤
Beloved delia. Pulls christmas off every year with mood inducing christmas cheer and traditions with delicious recipes that always wor…

"ages"...plus the calories,

Plus, the "time-lapse"

Imho, it all adds up to
quite a palava ...🤔😊.
Will do the red cabbage
recipe...looks good 😊👍,
and not pricey ingredients...
no quantities given here :

Have to buy the book !

Happy New Year
to all. 🇬🇧🌟😊🌹
🇬🇧💙🎉🎼🌈🌹🇬🇧
Dear old Delia. Is she still with us? One of my favourite COOKS. I don't do 'chefs'.
Love the house and the garden outside .she is a fantastic cook .God bless. Wish I was invited 🎉👏👏
That was quite grand, wasn't It!
Oh, to have money! 😢
I can't help but think this would be improved by a silent and seemingly terrified assistant moving things around for her....
Me also.
you also what, you need to click reply!

8 hours cooking a pudding?!???
Yes it is a slow steamed pudding. That's what makes it so amazing! Plus the ageing/maturing.
It's hardly work. You put it on and every few hours you check to make sure it hasn't boiled dry. If the water is low, add more, making sure its boiling.
Amazing!! I'm speechless.
Good Lord , I know this would be fabulous but no way do we need all those calories, heart attack food!
It’s only once a year though.

Oh, for goodness sakel It's Christmas!
It's not all bad. You get enough leftovers to last into the New Year.

Poor assessment. I'm not wealthy and manage her recipes just fine.

Jamie Oliver does have a Christmas pudding video, I quit when he mentioned "suet", I don't know if there's a substitute for it.
@@johnking5174so what? Does it matter?
Plumb pudding very disgusting sludge.
Talk too much. Grocery is so expensive
But food is life. How little do you want to spend on staying alive and healthy?
@@TermiteVideo What about all that booze she uses? That's an entirely separate grocery list! :O
