A propos de l'auteur
Clarissa Dickson Wright was born on June 24, 1947. At the age of 21, she became the country's youngest female barrister. Her career as a barrister at Gray's Inn ended due to her battle with alcohol. After leaving law, she worked as a cook at St James's club and in private houses before managing the afficher plus Books for Cooks Shop in London and then the Cooks Book Shop in Edinburgh. She also ran her own catering business, worked on a yacht in the Caribbean, and became one of only two women in England to become a guild butcher. She and Jennifer Paterson became the TV cookery duo Two Fat Ladies, which ran for four seasons before the death of Paterson in 1999. Afterward, Dickson Wright appeared in the series Clarissa and the Countryman, which ran until 2003. She also worked with students as the Rector of the University of Aberdeen from 1998 to 2004. She wrote several books including Spilling the Beans, Rifling through My Drawers, and Clarissa's England. She died on March 15, 2014 at the age of 66. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins
