Oh no!
I loved them both and I loved their no-nonsense traditional recipes.
Clarissa was a great countrywoman and I met her a couple of times at the West Doset Show in Melplash.
She showed me how to dress a rabbit.
Honest, warm and friendly - unlike some of the vacuous individuals masquerading as foodies on the box these days.

Never very impressed with her cooking, but she certainly had some quality stories of drinking!
I agreed with much of her Countryside campaigning - but she was always going to be facing an uphill struggle to be taken seriously on that with some people having squandered -
A Promising career as a Barrister
A £2.8 Million inheritance
and been declared bankrupt numerous times.
She was certainly a character and a one-off though.Comment

I always liked their cookery programmes, pretty entertaining.
