When Delia Smith suggested using packet frozen mash and tinned mince in her latest tome, How To Cheat At Cooking, she was lambasted by food snobs.

Cutting corners: Delia Smith is planning a sequel to How To Cheat At Cooking
‘She’s planning to bring it out next year and it’s very much in the same vein.
'It will tell you how to cut corners while still using quality ingredients.’
Despite the criticism, 67-year-old Delia, a joint majority shareholder at Norwich City Football Club, is enjoying huge sales from the current book.
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
