Her mother was an Australian heiress her father was a brilliant surgeon to the Royal family.

I always liked the 'Two Fat Ladies' show and have several of their cookbooks. I had no idea that Clarissa Wright had such an interesting and diverse background. This book is by way of an autobiography. A diverting read for any Anglophile and/or foodie.
