They were hugely influential: the Queen Mother told Fanny that they were 'mainly responsible' for the improvement in catering standards since the war; Keith Floyd declared that 'she changed the whole nation's cooking attitudes'; for Esther Rantzen 'she created the cult of the TV chef'. Lavishly illustrated, this is a fun, entertaining portrait of this infamous woman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45608292483223,"sku":"9781803995328","price":1502.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781803995328.webp?v=1769294139","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fabulous-fanny-cradock-9781803995328","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
