One of the best
Delia Smith and Mary Berry, two of the best in their field as far as I'm concerned. I particularly like this book, not just for the recipes, but for all the information Delia has packed into it. The pastry making section is especially interesting to me. Clearly written, well laid out with easy to follow instructions. Excellent.

Bought a second copy as back-up due to the first one falling apart by now from years of use.
This 'product' was exactly as expected - there is no category provided for this rating. It's a book, in good condition, saying exactly the same things in it as our previous copy. How could it be 'better than expected' without being different and hence worse?

Delia's cook book.
Got this for my daughter, she loves it. So easy to follow and she is showing her 10 year old daughter how easy cooking can be with the correct book.

Disgusted
I received my book in good time which was great but on opening the book was not the same edition as the picture but more importantly it had been defaced with the word SL*T on it. I couldn't believe it! It looks like it has been on the book for sometime so although I doubt it was directed at me it's disgusting. It doesn't change the contents of the book but that's not the point!

The Delia Classic
It's the go-to cookery book for me. Only got a replacement because the original was falling to bits from repeated use.

Bought to replace my original 3 volumes dating back to 1982. This is a good book with new additions.
I thought the price was competitive until it arrived and I found I had paid more than the price stamped on the cover.

Perfection
If you are cooking a dinner for a special occasion then this is the book to use. Any recipe I make always turns out perfect. If you follow the recipe you can't go wrong.

The original and still the best
Buy this, you won't go wrong. It arrived quickly, considering the climate. All as stated and in use as my old copy was falling apart.
