In her new television series Delia recommended two gadgets, a food chopper and a stick blender and according to the Guardian the two models she used were the:
Kenwood CH180 Mini Chopper 300w and the Braun Hand Blender
(I've also included a link to the book of the series)
Unfortunately, and probably because of the popularity of the TV show, it seems that the food chopper is sold out at Amazon and they keep changing their information about if and when it will become available again. The hand blender is also out of stock. So I'll list some of Amazon's alternatives based on those that have had the best reviews.
The three hand blenders below are all currently available at Amazon. The Braun MR400 is, I believe, a very similar model to the one that Delia uses. The Morphy Richards blender is the one I use, and for blending food for my baby daughter when she went onto solids it was perfect (and cheap). The Bamix is right at the top end of the scale, both in quality and price and has had great reviews (and is recommended by Gordon Ramsay no less.)
I've linked to the Haden food chopper because it is cheap and has had a couple of decent reviews at Amazon. The Russell Hobbs is more expensive - but it has had a couple of good reviews (and I'm a sucker for a celebrity chef endorsement). The Cuisinart is not a chopper- it is a food processor - though of course you can use it as a chopper as well as doing so much more besides. It looks really nice as well - but it is rather expensive.
Hope this was useful.
Because this is about Delia's programme I'm going to post these two YouTube retro Delia clips:
The first is Delia interviewing Kate Bush which I found really odd:
and the second is Delia making deep fried mars bars - which would be funnier only if it were true
