MORE 20TH BIRTHDAY FELICITATIONS
Subject: delicious. really has made me a better cook! From: Keri Fuller Wow, 20 years of delicious.! I’ve had every one of your issues since December 2003. And over the years I’ve metamorphosed from enthusiastic home cook to professional chef, working in a London restaurant in my 50s (mid-life crisis). Thank you for all the inspiration.
From: Peter Sadler
I wanted to wish you all a very happy birthday. Yours is the best, most helpful and warmest magazine there is – so much more than recipes. I look forward to the end of each month when it drops through my letterbox. Christmas wouldn’t be the same without my delicious.
From: Susan Eastham
I’m delighted you’re celebrating your 20-year anniversary. I’ve kept all your magazines – it’s so interesting to compare the ones of 15 years ago to today’s. delicious. was ahead of its time, with tips on where to buy rare items that are now mainstream. It makes me smile that favourites pop up year on year… I still make the apple crumble cake from Jan 2019, and many others.
From: Andrew Taylor
My wife is the cook in our house as I’m hopeless. She’s been a delicious. reader for 20 years and said while reading your birthday issue that she’s cooked two or three recipes for me from every delicious. mag over the years. She hinted it would be nice if I tried to cook one recipe from the issue. So I surprised her with Rick Stein’s red wine vegetable stew with thyme dumplings. It took me hours, but my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy birthday!
THE PIE REVIVAL STARTS HERE
From: PJ Warren
I couldn’t agree more with Nicola Miller regarding the pie situation in the UK (Nov issue, p162). I’m American but have lived here for 43 years. Sweet pies have really never been a thing here, have they? Apart from the occasional blackberry and apple at harvest festivals.
Americans still eat pie. If people are coming over for dinner we would pick up a pie from Marie Callender’s pie shop. Pie to Americans is like cake is to Brits.
I work in a cafe so I shall attempt to reintroduce slices of pie to my village. I’ll start with pecan. We could warm it and offer some ice cream on the side. Or what about apple pie but with a slice of cheddar tucked under the crust? That’s properly British I think. I’ll let you know how I get on.
