Delia through the Decades

BBC Two - Delia through the Decades, Episode 4

Looking back at the 90s, the decade of the 'Delia effect'.

Series celebrating Delia Smith's career. The 90s was the decade of the 'Delia effect', when the merest hint of a new ingredient caused a riot.

Delia Smith is a national treasure. In a career spanning five decades, she has ruled the roost as the queen of home cooking. This series celebrates Delia's career and the many ways she has shaped what people eat and how they cook it. Each episode is packed with archive footage, as Delia revisits her favourite recipes from each decade and recreates some with a contemporary twist.

This episode takes us back to the 1990s - the decade when girl power bounced in and the Iron Lady was bounced out. Baywatch surfed the beach and we all surfed the net. 

It was also the decade of the 'Delia effect', when the merest hint of a new ingredient caused a riot, and New England crowned Delia the queen of cranberries. 

Christmas came early when Delia published her failsafe guide to surviving the festive season stress-free, Delia Smith's Christmas, and this was followed by her bestselling Summer and Winter Collections. 

It was in the 90s when Delia decided to invest in her favourite football club, Norwich City, which now proudly boasts one of the best club restaurants in Europe. And while she improved the catering pitch-side, on our screens a multitude of TV chefs followed in Delia's footsteps. 

Richard Curtis relates how Delia cooked up a storm and raised a shedload of money for Comic Relief, and Delia shows how to cook her seasonal favourites, chicken Basque, chocolate bread and butter pudding, and the decade's dinner party staple - Piedmont peppers.
