I wholeheartedly agree with you and how gracious to share her home with us too! I have used her Christmas Cookbook since 1992, it's such a tradition now. Recently I have started to add a date with notes for posterity and my family 😊

I became a Food and Nutrition teacher 23 years ago because of you! I just wanted you to know that my mum died 13 years ago, and we watched all your series together on our old sofa. I have a bit of a cry when I watch this every year now she is gone, but it brings back such happy memories. Thanks Delia, what an impact you’ve had on my life! I now make food memories with my 3 children now, using your recipes.

Sure hope this stays on KZread forever because Delia and her recipes are excellent, I've never had one that doesn't work. I watch this series several times before Christmas every year and I follow her schedule every year. Makes the whole process so enjoyable, we'll done!

Watching her in her home while baking & cooking, makes me very happy 🎄

It is nearly 40 years since my first Delia Christmas. I have never had a failure. Always perfect

I"m an American, and it's June 2022........and I'm watching this video.....I'm in heaven... I want to spend Christmas with Delia.

I love that she includes having "the mother of all clear out" as a part of cooking for Christmas. Starting with a fresh kitchen is the key to succes.

Thank you Delia. Your books have been my bibles for many years. You've taught me so much. xxx

I remember watching this first time it was on, it has that warm and cosy feel to it and not just because of the cooking demonstrations but the wonderful glimpses of her beautiful home, so relaxing just to kick your shoes off and a nice hot cuppa and just chill out watching this and suddenly it's Christmas again. A great upload.

I just LOVE Delia. American here, I I live in Texas - but can surprisingly find the ingredients - even barley wine! Enjoy all of the stirring and waiting…. Lighting and eating the Christmas pud.❤🎄 Love Delia so much. She is a wonderful person - and cook. ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄

I’ve watched Delia for many years. What a national treasure! Every Christmas I look forward to watching her lovely warm and inviting Christmas shows on Sky! Says it all. Delia is Christmas 🎄

Watching Delia on TV was a must for me, the cosy ambience in her programme really inspired me, miss Delia on TV.

Oh my, I have just discovered this woman, here, just now. I sat at my pc with my notebook, and have watched a few random xmas dinner videos before finding this. I am only 4 minutes in and I already love Delia.

This is so nostalgic. As a child of the 1990s, when Delia's programmes came on at this time of year it was one of those things that really made it feel like Christmas. I miss them, but thank goodness for KZread.

I discovered this woman a few months back and I'm delighted to let you know that I quickly became the biggest fan. After a quick Google search, I learned that her cooking shows were televised in the 90s. It's no wonder why I have this sense of nostalgia while watching her videos. I grew up in the 90s (I'm almost 35 now), and how I wish Delia's shows were televised here in the Philippines. But nevertheless, thank you for uploading these videos. Her presence, the ambience, the food, and just everything about her program is like a warm comforting hug, and makes you feel like everything is alright in the world. :) Cheers from Cebu, Philippines🥰

For those who have an old fashioned pressure cooker you can cook the Christmas puddings in that, it cuts the cooking time dramatically and they taste every bit as good as when you steam them for 8 hours. And given that mum always had to cook 14 puddings every year (we all liked Christmas pudding, even in the summer) the pressure cooker meant she could cook them all in half the time.

Dear Delia, I just want to tell you that I made your rich fruit cake for my mother's 90th birthday in February this year. I made it in a 28cm round tin, before Christmas, and 'fed' it with brandy then covered it with marzipan, white fondant, and decorated it with silver cachous and nine white candles for each decade. and a white ribbon - very simple. I received many compliments from a hundred family members who attended the party. This is our go-to Christmas cake each year. Thank you, dear lady, together with warmest regards from New Zealand.

I have been using Delia,s recipes all of my adult life and love them. I don’t think I have missed doing her Christmas cake since 1986ish and have already done this years and feeding it ready for Christmas week. Thank you for teaching me how to cook 🥳

Absolutely my favourite TV cook ever-she is wonderful, just the best. Why isn’t she on television any more?

So I am an American, and when it gets Christmas time here in the states I love to go full British for the Christmas dinner menu, unless it’s going to be a handful of guests in which case I love Swedish meatballs with cranberry sauce and creamy mashed potato. Anyway I think this obsession got started as the result of reading Charles dickens when I was in the sixth grade. I never commit to a specific entrée, but ever since that one Christmas I have fallen in love with sticky toffee pudding, it’s my goal in life to have it every holiday season.

My family is Greek and since my parents migrated in the late 60's to Melbourne, the one thing they adopted as our annual Christmas treat was the delicious Christmas Pudding. We don't have it at all another time except Christmas, and that makes it so special. This year I am looking at doing a very traditional English Christmas. We're not just Greek, we also have Japanese, Dutch, Polish so its always a mixture every time we come together. And I have to say, I don't cook anything Greek! I'm a mixed bag of whatever. this Christmas Pudding looks absolutely divine and I am definitely going to give it a crack.

I have always been a huge fan of Delia and also the delightful Mary Berry.They show everything in their cooking making it easy for us to try,I especially love watching them preparing for Christmas.I so wish I could get back home again to live and have those gorgeous foods in the cold.Nothing compares to Christmas in Winter,it just isn't the same in stinken heat.Thank you Delia,I was salivating watching the end results of your cooking.🙏👍🥮🍗🎄☃️⛄🔥
