  Hi, it's Lauren Laverne and this is Desert Island Discs Postcards, a selection

• 00:18

  of some of our most memorable moments from the thousands of people we've cast away to our imaginary desert island.

• 00:25

  Our cast away today is one of our most popular and successful cookery writers, Delia Smith.

• 00:30

  Back in 2023, she told me how she first met her husband, Michael Wynne-Jones,

• 00:35

  who was deputy editor at the magazine where she'd just landed her first cookery column.

• 00:40

  I used to deliver my handwritten copy and Michael used to put it into English.

• 00:47

  So was it love at first sight for the pair of you?

• 00:49

  No, I don't think so.

• 00:51

  But I mean, it was obviously he liked food a lot and I liked food a lot.

• 00:55

  And that was something that drew us together.

• 00:58

  Michael also introduced you to football, I think, which has been another great passion in your life.

• 01:03

  And the two of you have been shareholders since 1996 in Norwich City FC, investing heavily over the years.

• 01:10

  I know the club's about so much more than scores and a balance sheet for you.

• 01:15

  What do you get back from your involvement?

• 01:17

  What does it mean to you?

• 01:18

  Well, I think first and foremost, it's a beautiful game.

• 01:23

  So it is a beautiful game.

• 01:24

  It's irritating, it's disappointing, you have pain, you have ecstasy.

• 01:31

  It's all those things.

• 01:33

  But I think one of the things that's so good about it now in this day and age is its community.
