Background[edit | edit source]

Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson were both accomplished cooks and authors before they teamed up to become the Two Fat Ladies.

Each episode featured the pair traveling to different locations in their trademark motorcycle and sidecar, where they would prepare meals for various groups of people. The show was known for its humor, the ladies' banter, and their love of traditional, often decadent, British cuisine.

Cooking Style[edit | edit source]

The Two Fat Ladies were known for their love of rich, traditional British food. They often used ingredients like butter, cream, and lard in their recipes, and weren't afraid to enjoy their food. Their cooking style was a reaction against the low-fat, health-conscious trends of the time, and they became famous for their indulgent recipes and larger-than-life personalities.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

The Two Fat Ladies' television show ended in 1999 with the death of Jennifer Paterson. However, their influence on British cooking continues to be felt. They are often credited with helping to revive interest in traditional British cuisine, and their recipes continue to be popular.
