Your Recipes

Want to share the limelight with Delia?

Now you can – or the next best thing, anyway – with our exciting new members’ recipes area at Delia Online, Your Recipes.

We know you love to swap recipes so, to make it even easier, we’re showcasing all of them in one place on the messageboard home page.

You can search for a particular recipe by title or member’s name… to do this, go back to the coloured Your Recipes panel with the illustration of a computer and a cooking pot, then type the ingredient or member's name into the search box (above where it says 'Delicious dishes from our community').

Certain recipes posted in profiles on our messageboard have become cult eating: who can forget Anastasia’s Sweet Tomato Chutney, TC’s Honeycomb Cheesecake, Saffy’s Greek Roasted Potatoes? Other members have added swathes of mouthwatering dishes: Far Eastern delights from Krish, Chilean favourites from Canela, Indian recipes from Sam in Worthing.

Some messageboard regulars are extremely prolific: Jools has a profile of 100 tasty recipes – many of them veggie – while Saffy and Sam both have over 50 dishes in theirs. And who could resist the challenge of Dolly’s Impossible Pie? All in all, it’s a treasure trove of family favourites, collected and tasted over the years.

So, tell all your family and friends to visit the site and post their favourites (they’ll have to be members to do so, but that’s a quick, easy and free process). Then, in addition to Delia’s 1000 wonderful recipes, you can find even more ideas and inspiration at Delia Online!
