    "Dust with icing sugar"...and proceeds to pour half a packet over the dish! Love the way she clicked her fingers at the hired help Sara. Must have been a nightmare to work with.

    The best quotes: “because you know it’s my considered opinion that Christmas is just about slave labour for the women” and “you think of somebody you’ve never really liked but you’re too well bred to say what you think so you take it out on the goose and stab it all over” 😂😂😂😂

    ... and why on earth are so many calling her TERRIFYING ? I mean yes ... the A Certain Type of British Lady's Seventies Makeup AND Brow are ... well ....What They Are , but think how idiotic most fashions and fads look twenty yrs later . Her whisky and cigarettes-cured female baritone , the accent , the gay slapdash whapping the food around, the sympathy for the poor beleaguered British housewife .. I adore her .

    Actual real cookers you'd find in a normal person's house, no non stick easy to use pan's, or every ingredient already meticulously weighed out and put into a dozen separate little bowls.
