Cookery programmes

I was watching a very old Delia Smith programme the other day, and it reminded me of why I used to really love cookery programmes.

She took you through every step of the dish, explained the techniques and outlined what could go wrong at each stage. No wonder people learned so much from her.

Nowadays cookery programmes seem to be all about the fancy kitchens, background music, shots of the cook buying ingredients at fancy shops and markets and finishing up with a bunch of attractive looking friends gathered around the table. The cooking barely gets a look in sometimes.

Anyone else wish they'd ditch the fairy lights and designer lifestyle shits and go back to showing people how to actually cook?

I remember one cookery lesson where they taught us to dry clean clothes you used the foam from washing up liquid in water. What a load of rubbish, but we were taken to The Ideal Home show which I loved.
