 Clarissa Dickson-Wright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clarissa Dickson-Wright (born Clarissa Theresa Philomena Aileen Mary Josephine Agnes Elsie Trilby Louise Esmerelda Dickson-Wright in London on June 28, 1947) is a British celebrity chef best known from her appearances with the late Jennifer Paterson in the BBC series Two Fat Ladies.
Clarissa was trained as a barrister but lost both career and fortune because of a drinking problem.
In this regard she started her own luncheon club in London, her own catering business, "Clarissa's Company", and a bookstore in Notting Hill "Books for Cooks" which was followed by another in Edinburgh, Scotland named "The Cook's Bookshop".

The lady with the pathological hatred of carrots, who once knocked out an Alsatian with her bare fists, and who rejoices or suffers in the name of 'Clarissa Theresa Philomena Aileen Mary Josephine Agnes Elsie Trilby Louise Esmerelda Dickson-Wright'.
I mean they went through all the sorts of various things like Verbena and Nigella and then they blindfolded my mother and turned her loose in the library and thank God she pulled out Richardson's 'Clarissa' and not the 'Encyclopaedia Britannica'.
CDW: No. Um, when we were filming at Knowsley Safari Park, which was the last one we did, she was in cracking form, and she loved it because she loved elephants and they had these elephants and lions and things.

One theory, put forth by food historian Clarissa Dickson-Wright, is that haggis was invented as a way of cooking quick-spoiling offal near the site of a hunt, without the need to carry along an additional cooking vessel.
The liver and kidneys could be grilled directly over a fire, but this treatment was unsuitable for the stomach, intestines, or lungs.
Nobody can say when or where the first haggis was consumed.

I love the way Clarissa writes in a no-nonsense but highly amusing style and Johnny’s sections contain invaluable tips on hanging, plucking and drawing, roasting and carving.
The recipes range from the relatively easy Buttered Grouse to the intricate and labour-intensive Pigeon Bistalia, which started life in the kitchens of the Ottoman Empire; so there really is something for everyone, from the mere novice to the highly accomplished cook.
Fabulous, fabulous book – literally the one and only game cookbook one would ever need.
