Spaghetti Bolognese - Delia Smith's Cookery Course - BBC

[@donglabong]

Cant believe the stupid comments, this was like.. what, 30 years ago AT LEAST.... many people DID need to be shown how to drain pasta, an "authentic" Ragu sauce WAS practically unknown outside of Italy... and Parmesan DIDN'T come out of a tub... We're all so 'sophisticated' now BECAUSE of people like Delia... blazing the trail 30 plonk years ago! Sheesh!

[@dominiquebrodoteau5135]

These tips are perfectly relevant in today's times as well. :)

[@morgansifer]

Over 40 years ago now I believe

[@redalbatross5649]

I lived with my grandma for a year and I had to show her how to cook spaghetti 😅. She had never done spaghetti and had no idea what people eat with it. Most finnish people her age only cook potatoes with something on the side.

[@Knufflebeest]

I have a Delia Smith complete cookery course book from 1978, fantastic recipes, ahead of their time and foolproof!

[@honeybearfur]

Someone said it was from 2009......Lol. I love this vintage 70's stuff. Reminds me of my childhood.

[@Thewoodenworkbench]

@TheRenaissanceman65 Judging from the pots and things It's looks like it's from the 1970s

[@AriannaAyers]

Delia Smith is a wonderful person, superb chef, and informative, and genuine; also humble. Now, in her 80's she's still as talented as ever. So many great cook books, just be sure to translate from "British" English to "American" English.

[@NinaGCooks]

Classic. As a Canadian, we don't have much exposure to Delia, but she's great

[@patrickstocks3576]

Happy 80th birthday 🥳🎂🎉🍾 Delia Smith

[@regalblack1503]

I think i like the old version of cooking better than the modern her ability of teaching about cooking are amazing

[@lizjohnson6324]

Delia I have been watching you since you first came on the TV well over 40 years ago .I th out then you were amazing .i still think the same . It is so kind of you to be doing this now still helping people to be confident in the kitchen .God bless you and may you still be cooking for a long time yet .from Liz Johnson .

[@mrbarrylewis]

Love it

Hello Barry

[@howebridge]

Staggering to realise there was a time when we needed to be shown how to drain pasta - and that parmesan was "quite hard to get hold of". Thankfully times have changed!

[@bens1972]

I think there’s probably in increasing amount of people who don’t cook in 2022. With the increasing amount of Ready Meals, you only have to go into M&S and see the meal deal queues to see that, Deliveroo, Just Eat and to the increasing number of people who choose convenience over making things from scratch. It’s sad really, especially when these options are so expensive and invariably unhealthy. Delia’s complete cookery course was inspired, teaching a nation cook.

Speaking of napkins tucked into their chins, where is her apron? My spaghetti would require hamburger cooking in the skillet, which equals grease. I love how she demonstrated how to properly eat it!

Thanks Delia, I didn't know how to drain pasta.

It adds good flavour

[@46joe]

agree....... its disgusting

[@halogen123]

It's strange to think how much things have changed - I can go down to Tesco now and they have a whole cabinet full of lumps of proper parmesan cheese which is only slightly more expensive than cheddar or stilton for example. And hasn't the "official" recommendations changed now? Don't they say you should mix the sauce into the pasta whilst still in the pot rather than putting the pasta on the plate and just putting the sauce on top?

[@CarloTheGambino]

I was brought up being told dry pasta should never touch the plate

[@orchepiaviolinviola]

You add the spaghetti 🍝 to the sauce!

[@trapjaw7253]

Times have changed in 30ish years , I wonder if Delia ever rewatches these old vids and think to herself "we've come along way"

[@46joe]

from the 70s probably around 1977/78

[@GinaSigillito]

@Bellinzona1000 Yeah, that does seem odd. Bolognese usually has veal also.

[@GinaSigillito]

TheRenaissanceman65 yes it does according to my Italian grandmother and Mario Batali and quite a few other people.

[@GinaSigillito]

TheRenaissanceman65 a bunch of professional chefs and cooks who know what they're talking about, yes. You obviously love to argue with people here, so good luck to you.

[@GinaSigillito]

TheRenaissanceman65 I never said I was and I was commenting on an ingredient I found odd in the recipe. We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I said usually. I also made my original comment 10 years ago, so it seems odd that you're commenting on it now. It seems you argue with anyone who disagrees with this recipe. Anyway, have a great night.

[@DevonPixie1991]

I know in the 21st century it seems like we’re being taught to suck eggs. But until quite recently people didn’t cook this stuff regularly. My mum prefers mushy pasta as it’s what she had growing up. I hate it and prefer my pasta to have a bit of bite. It’s purely generational

[@anneperry9014]

Been to Italy 3times when I was younger. The spaghetti and sauce was amazing. You can't get it the same here unfortunately!!!!!!🙄

I like to add green bell peppers, some oregano, thyme, parsley, and a little bit of cayenne pepper, not much though because it will be to spicy.

well i wouldn't have guessed you were 41 from your comment! :D

[@fenradast3577]

I always break the spaghetti into 3 pieces before cooking.

[@tentdwerg]

> The world really is run by idiots isn't it... I thought by 41 you would have realized that! You shouldn't underestimate how much less exposure to Italian culture/cuisine Britain had had in the 70s compared to east coast US. (or how ignorant people can be in general for that matter.) For a recipe, do you know Heston Blumenthal's In Search of Perfection episode? currently online at: watch?v=YzDWEtPqn1E He goes to Bologna for research. I found very informative.

[@daveannan2577]

Back in the 70s this would be acceptable. If this was served up now it would be deemed unacceptable. Different times, different standards.

[@sjknyc23]

its actually considered bad manners in italy to twist spaghetti around your spoon

[@todtriste]

well, no. if is a spoon, yes, but no with a fork. also, if you cut it is a really bad thing there

[@kacil8130]

This is hilarious

[@anneroy4560]

why?

[@scaleshchess]

she didn't even put butter or oil on the spagghetti when she drained it. if you don't do that it get sticky and when it cools down you won't be able to serve it. I should be charging for giving out tips to these fools.

[@nilaphillips3500]

no cook i have watched EVER butters or oils the pasta-that would make it disgusting and greasy and the sauce slip off.just serve it whilst its hot-it makes me laugh that you bash this cook whose books have sold millions, but you have no clue yourself what you are on about!

[@nhahaone]

idiot

[@scaleshchess]

oh please! she can't figure out that it takes butter to keep the pasta from getting sticky? the same goes for rice. Didn't they cook rice in britain in the 70s? And if she is to present a tv show about cooking then at least she should have made sure that its done right. It's so amateur to present a dish that is based on improvising instead of getting some basic knowledge on it. And instructions on how to eat it?! It is shocking to watch.

[@nhahaone]

fucking idiot

[@MrTonyInchpractice]
