Delia Smith
To keep potatoes from budding,
place an apple in the bag with the potatoes
Me
Buy Smash mashed potato mix.
Keeps in the cupboard for up to a year.

Delia Smith
When a cake recipe calls for flouring
the baking tin, use a bit of dry cake
mix instead and there won't be any
white mess on the outside of the cake.
Me
Go to the bakery!
they'll even decorate it for you!

Delia Smith
Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting
in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Me
Celery?
Never heard of it!

Delia Smith
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and
rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Me
Take a lime, mix it with tequila,
chill and drink! All your pains go away!


Delia Smith
Don't throw out all that leftover wine.
Freeze into ice cubes for future use
in casseroles and sauces.
Me
Leftover wine???????
HELLO!!!!!!

I have just spent the better part of the evening baking cakes from one of Delia's books for husband to take to work tomorrow as it is his last day in his current office - think I should have read your advice first then I could have saved some time by making a quick trip to the supermarket instead for some cakes
