I used to make the pork rissoles at a local pub in New Zealand when I was a cook for a year. They were a huge success, in the largely farming community. Even the tourists loved them. Delia is to English cooking as the union jack is. She brought good old fashioned cooking back into vogue and I for one adore her honesty and simplicity in her cooking. Who can afford the fancy foods that are cooked on TV these days. All those towers of smidgens of carrot and 1 pea and 2 drops of sauce. What happened to good old gravy? still got my frugal food cookbook and how to cheat at cooking and very well used since I was given it for a birthday present as a penniless student nurse in 1974.

Very much cow, sheep, and pig country! I've just bought a lovely new Spanish cookbook (by Jose Pizarro) so will be trying some new recipes soon! Hi Loulou

I love Pork with Prunes. Can you get duck on that side of the border? Duck with Prunes is also wonderful! (as I'm sure you already know) That photo of Delia on the cover is priceless!
