Delia Smith goes digital – but who else is on the menu?
Delia at 71 is getting down with the internet. She is tired of entertaining and wants to simply teach people how to cook on line. Better make sure your rural broadband is up to speed if you dont want to miss out!
This article tells us – After shifting 21 million books, appearing in countless shows and giving an unlikely boost to cranberry growers, Delia Smith is turning her back on television. But to the relief of nervous egg boilers everywhere, the 71-year-old is hanging on to her apron to reinvent herself in the increasingly competitive world of online cookery.
On YouTube and beyond, clips made by cooks with varying degrees of expertise are winning audiences that would be the envy of Nigella and Heston. Smith will challenge de facto online head chef Jamie Oliver, who last month launched his own YouTube channel, Food Tube. Dozens of videos offer recipes as well as entertainment including a chilli chopping world record attempt. In total, the channel has 13 million views.
