Jane Asher (Greater London) : Cake Specialist
“I know it sounds corny, but we still see each other and love each other, but it hasn’t worked out. Perhaps we’ll be childhood sweethearts and meet again and get married when we’re about 70.”
- Jane Asher on Paul McCartney
Delia Smith (Surrey) : DIY Cookery Expert
"I used to have a mini-skirt on. If I did waitressing and I couldn't pull the cork out of the bottle, I would put it between my ankles like this - and I used to get told off because I had a mini-skirt. One morning I got a call from a photographer, who said "I need a really gaudy cake - it's got to look really gaudy and horrible". So I went along with my gaudy cake and I didn't know until I actually got to the studio that it was the cover of a Stones album ('Let It Bleed', 1969)."
- Delia Smith
Judith Wills (Oxfordshire) : Dishes For Dieters
"When we went to a café for a coffee it was plain and straight, just coffee black or with milk, no fancy high-fat, high-sugar additions like today. Eating out was a rare thing even on a date; all I can remember is the Golden Egg on Fleet Street where you got an omelette, plain, cheese or ham, and that was about it.
Instead for dates we would go to the discos and clubs – The Cromwellian, The Bag O’Nails - and dance, dance, dance for hours, a great way to burn calories. And the working life meant plenty of walking – just the walk to and from the tube stations twice a day took 40 minutes, always hurrying as I was always late. Taxis to meet people for work were frowned on, so it was walk to the tube again or walk all the way to wherever you were going."
