Two Fat Ladies Remembered

Saveur just posted this article a couple hours ago (March 15, 2016) and I know Jason loved them, and so did I. They were wonderful cooks, and lovely story-tellers who had the knack. They were just what cooking TV should be.

I’ve never cooked from a Two Fat Ladies recipe (you can find a bunch here), and have never felt like I have to, because pedagogy isn’t the point (and they never measured ingredients on camera anyhow). But if you watch enough episodes, you start to see how inspiring the women really were. Dickson Wright spends one episode recalling her time in Quercy, a former French province in the truffle-producing region of Perigord, while spreading a wad of dough microns-thin across an enormous table cloth. By the time she covers it with macerated apples (macerrrrating, she trills with great exaggeration) and rolls it up into a fat spiral, I’m craving not just Quercyan apple cake, tinged with orange blossom and lemon zest, but a trip to Quercy itself, to figure out what else the hell they’re cooking in this part of the world I’d never heard of before.
