She can't stand the heat from sexy rivals..so she got out of the kitchen ; EXCLUSIVE: DELIA'S BIOGRAPHER ON WHY SHE REALLY QUIT TV
At 61, [Delia Smith]'s sensible approach was looking staid and unfashionable compared with matey Jamie Oliver or sexy Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson - dubbed Gastro Porn by TV critics. Delia had become more Gastro Yawn. [Louis] not only secured Delia's first job in London restaurant The Singing Chef as a kitchen hand but was instrumental in her embracing the Roman Catholic faith. Delia converted when she was 22 but the faith that united them also drove them apart - after three years together, Louis announced he wanted to dedicate his life to God. He gave up Delia to join a Catholic mission in Holland, returning in 1966 to study theology and prepare for the priesthood. \"Delia is someone who was very close to me and to whom I was very close,\" he says. \"She's done well and I'm very pleased for her.\" While Louis ignited a passion for life and food within Delia, it could be argued that when he left, the fire went out. Rival chefs have often derided her cold approach. Gary Rhodes has accused her of \"insulting viewers' intelligence\" for showing them what boiling water looks like, while Antony Worrall Thompson dubbed her the \"Volvo of cooking\" because she is safe and reliable.
