Delia Smith taught a nation how to cook. She worked to reinstate the basics of cooking and to remove ordinary people's fear of it. The response was huge change. Now, Delia is calling for an even greater change: putting people back into the heart of politics.

In this short, powerful book Delia shares with us lessons from a long and eventful life. She introduces us to some of the greatest political thinkers past and present and reflects on what it means to be a human person. How goodness and kindness are eclipsed by oppression and confusion - and that true politics can only come from the people.

With a foreword from political activist Brian Eno and an afterword from Jamie Kelsey Fry, a leader of the Global Citizens' Assembly movement, these nine essays will challenge the way you think about our future.

About the Author

Delia Smith is the author of nearly thirty cookery books and has been presenting cookery shows on television since 1973. She has received three British Book Awards and when the Sunday Times compiled a special list of the top 100 bestselling books according to how many weeks a title has spent in the Top Ten to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the chart, Delia appeared three times. Delia has entered the Royal Television Society Hall of Fame and has been presented with a BAFTA Special Award in honour of her outstanding contribution to television cookery and services to broadcasting. In 2017 Delia was presented with the prestigious Order of the Companions of Honour by Queen Elizabeth II for her contribution to cookery and cookery education in this country (there are only ever sixty-five members at any one time). This followed Delia's CBE in 2009 and OBE in 1995. Delia received the Guild of Food Writers Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022.

I want it known far and wide that this is a thrilling, sagacious, impassioned, persuasive and profound book, whose value rises in proportion to the clarity of its prose, depth of erudition and scale of ambition. Delia casts herself as nothing more than a mid-80s ex-chef who has learned a thing or two. This under-sells it. In fact, she emerges as a mesmerising, compassionate and noble humanitarian who has thought hard about the biggest challenge of our age -- AMOL RAJAN
