"Delia Smith" Commander of the Order of the British Empire/CBE is an English Cook (profession)/cook and television presenter, known for teaching basic cookery skills in a no-nonsense style. She is the UK's best-selling cookery author, with more than 21 million copies sold.

Smith is also famous for her role as joint majority shareholder at Norwich City F.C. Her partner in the shareholding is her husband, Michael Wynn-Jones. Her role at the club has attracted varying media attention, from positive when she "saved" the club from bankruptcy, to negative, when making a controversial on-pitch announcement in 2005.

Already an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), Smith was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the Birthday Honours 2009/2009 Birthday Honours, "in recognition of ... [her] contribution to television cookery and recipe writing".

It was a spontaneous appeal from the heart. Maybe in the heat of the moment I didn't choose the best words [on a rant at Norwich fans to be more passionate].

Football and cookery are the two most important subjects in this country.

Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed... I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.
