RMC Big Interview: Delia Smith ponders on the inner strength of the human spirit

The doyenne of British cooking and the passionate owner of Norwich Football Club, Delia Smith, took a massive step outside her comfort zone last year. The bestselling author of countless cookery books, famed for teaching the nation to boil an egg, has made headlines with an altogether different kind of read. In “You Matter: The Human Solution”, she considers human nature, that we all matter, we are all unique, and all have our own responsibility in the universe.

In the Big Interview with the RMC’s Roger Bolton, she says that she is utterly optimistic about the strength of the human spirit and would “probably die for it”. Baptised in the Church of England, Delia Smith converted to Catholicism aged 22 and says in this book that she hopes to encourage people to realise their inner strength in order to understand their unique role in the world.
