Last of "The Two Fat Ladies" gone

Im a big fan of "The Two Fat Ladies" cooking shows and the solo shows done by Clarissa Dickson Wright. Seems Clarissa has passed away at a young 66. Jennifer and I have been watching all her antics with Jennifer Paterson as the rode and cooked their way around the UK, always on a Triump with side car. Ill have to have a toast to Clarissa, she was quite in favor of the small local farms and markets. Here is the BBC article.

Theirs was one of the first cooking shows I ever watched regularly - Seems like many years since it's been on here - I know I watched the same episodes over and over because they were just so much fun. I never saw Clarissa's solo show - didn't even know she had one but I am glad to find out she carried on after Jennifer died. Cheers to the two Fat Ladies - may they ride again somewhere on the other side.

Sad to here of this.

I have fond memories of the fun they had with coq au vin. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Such a shame. Used to love that show.

Clarissa was the youngest woman called to the bar according to her autobiography so was a legal milestone besides her other achievements.

She knew a lot about country life and political correctness never affected her. A real character whose like we shall likely not see again.
