A Tribute to a Fat Lady by Her Friends
Jennifer Paterson - noisy, jolly, fun, acerbic - had masses of friends and admirers who were deprived of their rackety companion when she died in 1999. 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 - riotous and rude in equal parts - endearing herself to all who knew her.
Here, friends, colleagues and fellow cooks write about Jennifer as they knew her: an energetic promoter of no-nonsense cookery, a devout Catholic devoted to the saints, an hilarious social companion, a hugely successful cook, and a kind friend.
