I feel like Yorkshires aren't a mysterious secret, or something you should be getting THAT wrong? Likewise roasties.
I really wish I could set Delia Smith on her.
Delia needs to get that snotty egg sitch sorted, too.

If someone accidentally offered you a 6 figure income cooking and writing about food, on the sly you would get lessons. you would learn how to cook so that when someone found you out they werent finding anything out. You'd get someone to teach you or at very least buy Delia's how to cook and start from scratch. Surely?

Evidently not.
But yes, dear heart, I agree.

I'll tell you what makes you think...
She claims she works 100 hour weeks
Gladwell tells it, the rule goes like this: it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery of complex skills.
100 hours a week for 100 weeks.. she'd be a master cook...

As yet evidence is not forthcoming of mastery... So those 100 hours working ain't making practice recipes..

I just went through some of the earlier cooking videos and the poster earlier is right. THese are not cooking videos. They are abut poverty porn. I use recipes from the Guardian all the time, its the only use that paper has, my nigel slater pancake recipe is a guardian recipe and I used Ruby Tandoh's sweetdough recipe for ages. These were never for cooking. They are puritanical poverty porn and its clear they are inedible but the people they are intended for are assumed not to have tastebuds, nutritional needs or the ability to cook. And nobody checked in a decade. Until Daily Kitchen and even then she had people congratulating her on social media.

FYI Jack, its not hard. Learn to make a bechamel, a batter, the basics of pastry, how to use eggs, and learn the basics. YOu'll love it. Its bleeping excellent being able to cook.

I ... what?

Holy duck I give up. Like, what worms in your head make you look at those and, rather than calling a priest to help you bury them at a crossroads at midnight, you take a photograph and put them on the internet so that innocent people can look at them and be traumatised for ever?
