Short biography

Jennifer Paterson was one half of the Two Fat Ladies, an unconventional cooking show in Britain. Her cooking partner was Clarissa Dickson Wright, 20 years her junior. Their show specialized in making the fattiest, most buttery, creamiest, deep-fried dishes possible -- and became a major hit. They drove a motorcycle with a sidecar together.
