A big thank you from Delia!

The rain still hasn’t stopped here, and it still hasn’t started in other parts of the world where it is needed most. But we have now come to the end of our appeal to support CAFOD in its work to create water projects in some of the most deprived countries, and I want to sincerely thank the very many people who donated most generously (and remember – for every pound they gave, the government added another one).

God bless you.

I should add perhaps that our ongoing charity, Zapallal – Sharing the Struggle, (where we try to help a desert community in Peru), continues and you can find details about that on the site.
 

If you want to get ahead, get a plan

With only a couple of weeks to go to the Diamond Jubilee weekend if you are intending to have a party or buffet, it’s always good to get your thinking cap (or crown) on early. To give you some inspiration, and help keep those last minute panics at bay, have a look at our selection of Delia’s recipes for canapés and nibbles.

Weekend Brunch

Neither breakfast nor lunch, brunch is a great mid-morning restorative. Delia's recipes borrow heavily from America (where brunch is a way of life), with muffins, maple syrup and corned beef hash. Just add newspapers, lashings of coffee and juice to put yourself in the weekend mood.
