definatly cook IMO
her food is pretty dull, not inventive. She's an adequate technician, rather than a chef.

She does cook stuff
that the average Joe would make at home rather than something flamboyant with fucking lemongrass in it or quails' eggs.

it's like popping next door and watching them cook dinner...what's the point.

Cook not chef
she doesn't work in a restaurant and has no formal training.

Deels is cool
Her recipes always work, she cheats by using stuff from the supermarket, she trancends the cook chef interface and allows ordinary people to produce good food, and she bought Norwich City, and gets pissed, and when I was a teenager growing up in Norfolk she looked quite sexy on Look East. (I am old though)

"women can't be chefs, only cooks. they're WOMEN!"

his wife caught him in bed with another man and divorced him, getting custody.

8yrs later they remarried.

WTF?

To quote Delia herself
from her Christmas special, which I watched despite being male:

"chefs wouldn't like (whatever she was doing) but we're home cooks, not chefs, so never mind what they think"

...may be a semi-drunk paraphrase, but the original quote definitely included "we're home cooks, not chefs".

I live in Norwich
So I feel qualified to answer. Delia Smith; not cook. Not chef. Fucktard.

anyone who seriously explains how to boil an egg in a cook book, and gets it wrong is a very special kind of fucktard.

Her food is for eating, so she's a cook
Chefs make food for wanking over.
