Sir - It's such a pity that Delia Smith's new book cannot be accepted for what it is (Helen Peacocke, Weekend, March 6) - a cheat's guide to cooking "which won't win you any Michelin stars".
By her own admission it is a "cut corners" approach to cooking. If time is a premium, then follow her recipes verbatum. If, like me, you have lots of time to prepare meals then adapt her recipes and use fresh meat/veg/sauces. I've tried both ways - all delicious.
