Clarissa + Jennifer are a Hoot


I definitely miss seeing Clarissa Dickson-Wright and Jennifer Paterson on TV. They were a nice break from the batch of people we have these days. I like their realness and the fact that they both led interesting lives before they got their cooking show. It would spice things up when they broke into song or told interesting stories. How fun was it for them to get into the local culture.

Like when Clarissa pushed that farm contraption up hill to harvest lettuces or cabbages or something.

Good Times.




No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Agreed. They were an absolute joy and breath of fresh air in our now over-sanitised TV.

It was potatoes by the way ;o)

They were cooking for Portugese potato farmers on Jersey...

I loved how they got about and we'd see a bit of local life - a bit like a mini-travelogue.

What fascinating women. Great dinner party guests I'm sure!

I'm enjoying them again on DVD now - lovely documentary tribute to JP.

What a gal she was!

Best wishes

Helen
