POOR Louise Preston -- a rubbish cook -- was given six copies of "Saint" Delia Smith's "How to Cook Book Two" for Christmas.
The 32-year-old, whose husband and son live on takeaways and readymade meals, told family and friends of her New Year resolution to become a whizz in the kitchen.
They got the message and Louise was inundated with Delia.
I know how it feels. I've got a few, but you couldn't get a better teacher.
I was a basic cook until I discovered her magic about 15 years ago. Her turkey has come up trumps every Christmas -- and so do the rest of her excellent recipes. She simply the best.
