Early Life

Delia Ann Smith was born in Woking, Surrey, England on the 18th of June, 1941. She went to school to study hair styling and then after that worked as a shop assistant and in a travel agency.

She was looking for a job and she took a job in a small restaurant in Paddington. Then she began to read English cookery books in the Reading Room at the British Museum. Then she got a job at Carlton Studios in London, where she prepared food for studio photography.

Career

Delia Smith had been a cook in a small restaurant in a small town in England. While working at the restaurant, Smith began reading English cooking books at the British Museum. Later, she tried cooking a few recipes on a family in London. In 1969, Delia was taken on as the cookery writer for the Daily Mirror magazine.

Smith baked a cake which was used on the cover of the Rolling Stones ‘Let It Bleed’. Smith defected and ended up working for the rival Evening News, but did return when they bought out the news.

While on ‘Family Fare’, Smith was introduced to the American actor and singer Sammy Davis, Jr., who asked her to marry him. Smith rejected his advances but Davis persisted and she then accepted thinking it was just a drunken mistake. They married in July of 1973.

In her early career, Smith was a British cookery writer, but later she turned to television. She made her TV career debut in 1971 on the BBC’s ‘Come Dancing’ with her first book ‘How to Cheat at Cooking’.
