Delia's Recipes for Cheats

Delia's Recipes for Cheats

I watched Delia Smith's new show on the BBC on Monday, in which she showed how to cheat at cooking by using ready made ingredients eg frozen mash and tinned mince.

Whilst the recipes themselves, if they used fresh ingredients, were fine; I balk at the idea of using ready made mash and tinned meat.

These ingredients are not as good as homemade, and cost more than buying the ingredients fresh and preparing them at home.

I fail to see how people do not have the time or initiative to make their own mash.
