Delia’s Way Vs Real Women’s Way
Delia’s way Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
The Real Women’s Way: Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Gods sake, you’re probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway.
Delia’s way To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
The Real Women’s Way: Buy powdered potato and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.
Delia’s way: When a cake recipe calls for flouring the tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
The Real Women’s Way: Go to the bakers. They’ll even decorate it for you.
Delia’s way: If you accidentally over salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant “fix me up”.
The Real Women’s Way: If you over salt a dish while you’re cooking, that’s tough. Please recite with me The Real Women’s motto: I made it and you will eat it and I don’t care how bad it tastes.

The Real Women’s Way: Go ask the very gorgeous neighbour to do it.

The Real Women’s Way: Leftover wine?
Delia’s way: When catering for an evening buffet, calculate food portions and timings a week in advance, so that you’re not rushing on the night.
The Real Women’s Way: Nip into Marks & Sparks on the way home that evening, and buy everything in ready made.
Delia’s way:When you have finished the preparation for your buffet, wash up and treat yourself to a glass of wine.
