Publisher's Synopsis
When she died in 1999, Jennifer Paterson's friends and admirers were deprived of a rackety character - noisy, jolly, fun and acerbic. From her job as cook at the SPECTATOR, where she was famously sacked for throwing the crockery out of the window, to her latter-day fame as half of the Two Fat Ladies duo, Jennifer roared through life. Here, friends, colleagues and fellow cooks write about the woman that they knew: an energetic promoter of no-nonsense cookery, a devout Catholic, a hilarious social companion and a kind friend. With contributions from, among others, Clarissa Dickson Wright, Peter Ackroyd, Ned Sherrin and Richard Ingrams, this is a fitting tribute to a remarkable woman. So, as Jennifer herself would have said: Enjoy!
