Delia Smith truly is a national treasure. In a career spanning five decades, she has ruled the roast as the queen of home cooking. This new series celebrates Delia’s incredible career and the many ways in which she has shaped both what people eat and how they cook it. Each episode is packed with fantastic archive footage, as Delia revisits her favourite recipes from each decade and recreates some with a contemporary twist.

The opening programme goes back to the roots of Delia’s mission to revive good old homely cooking. Her passion stemmed from watching her mother and grandmother concoct beautiful dishes from home-grown ingredients during the war.

Delia revisits the London restaurant – then called The Singing Chef – in which she worked as a waitress during the Swinging Sixties and whose wonderful chef was an early inspiration. She recreates roast duck in cherry sauce, a dish she cooked many times while working there.

Delia describes her epiphany as she researched 17th- and 18th-century recipe books in the reading rooms of the British Museum and recreates one of the first recipes she tried out from those old books, an 18th-century apple flan. This research inspired her belief that British cookery could be brought back to life if only someone would take up the challenge to popularise it. In homage to the Sixties and the trend for flambéing food, Delia also cooks up a soufflé omelette citron flambé.

During the Sixties, Delia worked as a food stylist in the advertising industry. She had her own slice of music history handed to her on a plate when, in 1969, she was asked to create a “gaudy cake” for the cover of The Rolling Stones album Let It Bleed. This led to a meeting with a literary agent who became a lifelong friend and has since played a huge part in her remarkable literary and television career.

The first programme goes back to the roots of Delia’s mission to revive homely cooking.

In the 1960s, Delia worked as a food stylist in the advertising industry. She had a slice of music history handed to her on a plate when, in 1969, she was asked to create a ‘gaudy cake’ for the cover of the Rolling Stones’ album Let It Bleed. This led to a meeting with a literary agent who became a lifelong friend and has since played a huge part in her remarkable television and publishing career.

The 1970s was a time of power cuts, picket lines, punks and pâté. It was the decade Delia first came to the nation’s attention. She started her first ‘proper job’ as a cookery writer for The Mirror Magazine, and it was here she met Michael, the man who would become her husband. When the magazine folded, she took on the challenge of devising six recipes each week for the London Evening Standard. She trusts her initiative once more to revisit a perennial favourite using the seasonal vegetables in her kitchen garden: a delicious red onion and parmesan salad with sage.

In 1973, Delia’s friend and TV producer Frances Whitaker suggested her to the BBC, which was looking for a new face following years of Fanny Craddock. Delia was given her own series, Family Fare. Frances and Delia go back to the studio they broadcasted from and relive the nerves and near-misses. Delia and her mother rewatch the show, and Delia cooks one of her favourite candlelight dinner dishes from that series - pork chops braised with wild mushrooms. She originally made it with cream and button mushrooms, but here she updates it with crème fraîche and porcini.

During the 1970s Delia published four books. She selects her top recipe from that time - a coffee and walnut cake - to bake again. Sir David Attenborough, who helped Delia get her next project onto the BBC, Delia Smith’s Cookery Course, offers a few words.

The 1980s were defined by Maggie Thatcher, Madonna, yuppies and Flashdance, and the decade was also when Delia became a household name. Amid the food scares of the decade - from listeria to salmonella - Delia eagerly tackled teaching the nation how to cook in the comfort of their own homes. Television series Delia’s Cookery Course was a hit and the accompanying book went straight to the top of the bestsellers list.

Delia cooks three dishes which remind her of the decade. Pasta became a national favourite and her favourite dish from that time is spaghetti carbonara. She recreates one of the public’s most popular ‘Delia desserts’, squidgy chocolate log. Plus there are smoked fish creams, a classic 80s dinner party starter.

The huge united fundraising effort of Live Aid inspired Delia to collate a book called Food Aid. This was a collection of recipes donated by the general public, celebrities and the royals, which raised 500,000 pounds for the cause.

Chefs Gary Rhodes and Rick Stein pay tribute to Delia’s genius for clear communication, Nigella Lawson tells how one of Delia’s books was her inspiration during her student days, and Richard Curtis remembers how cute Delia looked on its cover.

This episode takes us back to the 1990s - the decade when girl power bounced in and the Iron Lady was bounced out. Baywatch surfed the beach and we all surfed the net.

It was also the decade of the ‘Delia effect’, when the merest hint of a new ingredient caused a riot, and New England crowned Delia the queen of cranberries.

Christmas came early when Delia published her failsafe guide to surviving the festive season stress-free, Delia Smith’s Christmas, and this was followed by her bestselling Summer and Winter Collections.

It was in the 90s when Delia decided to invest in her favourite football club, Norwich City, which now proudly boasts one of the best club restaurants in Europe. And while she improved the catering pitch-side, on our screens a multitude of TV chefs followed in Delia’s footsteps.

Richard Curtis relates how Delia cooked up a storm and raised a shedload of money for Comic Relief, and Delia shows how to cook her seasonal favourites: chicken Basque, chocolate bread and butter pudding, and the decade’s dinner party staple - Piedmont peppers.

Delia meets up with Stephen Fry to enjoy afternoon tea and cakes, and reflect on her 40-year career, in particular the noughties, which started with a bang with a new millennium, and ended with a credit crunch.

Delia made the news when her name became a new entry in the dictionary, and hit the headlines again with her ‘Let’s be ‘avin’ ya’ moment when she revealed the true extent of her passion for football on the pitch at Norwich City. And after beginning the decade by publishing How To Cook, a complete back-to- basics guide to culinary success, she ended it getting into hot water with How To Cheat.

Celebrity fans Victoria Wood, Fay Ripley, Richard Curtis, Emma Freud and Sir Terry Wogan pay tribute to Delia. Meanwhile, in the kitchen she cooks her favourite recipes from the noughties - classic fast roast chicken; her ultimate fast food, the omelette; and one of her favourite ‘cheat’ recipes, shami kebabs.
