Is Delia back on TV yet. I thought I heard or read somewhere she was coming on .

Yes she is this year sometime but I don't know when. The cookware manufacturing companies are steeling themselves for a rise in profits if she mentions their stuff. On her last series she recommended a small omelette pan. The small Lancashire company that made it had to increase production and get a bigger factory to cope with the demand.

I googled it and got the pan details for you. Not cheap though!:

Manufactured by Samuel Groves and Co. Ltd. The item in question is the Mermaid Little Gem 8 inch (200mm) Omelette Pan.

The manufacturers website is:

www.mermaidcookware.com

Retails on their site at �12.99 plus �3.47 postage. Like I said, not cheap. Given that Delia is a multi-millionaire I don't think she's that bothered about price. I have a perfectly good non-stick one I bought from Morrisons supermarket for about four quid.

by the way - I went into 10 March telly and got info on Delia - am a bit disappointed in that she is going to show how to cheat with cooking. - ie like buying ready made mashed potatoes, vegetables etc. I really like to know how to cook from scratch - there is nothing like your own bit of cooking.
