Jennifer Paterson (3 April 1928 - 10 August 1999) was a chef and TV personality who appeared on the television programme Two Fat Ladies with Clarissa Dickson Wright.
The pair were famous for their sometimes unhealthy, but presumably very delicious, meals made from scratch. Their preferred means of transportation was a motorbike with sidecar, which Paterson drove.
[edit] Personal Life
Ms Paterson's life was as unconventional as her on-screen persona suggested. She came from an army family and was expelled from convent school at 15 for being disruptive.
Paterson later became a matron at a girls' boarding school near Reading before ending up as a cook for the Ugandan legation in London and becoming a well-known figure on the London party circuit. She worked on the ITV show Candid Camera and later went on to become a food writer for The Spectator and provided weekly lunches for personalities including the Prince of Wales for 15 years.
Paterson was a devout Roman Catholic who died in 1999 of lung cancer in England. She asked for caviar for her last meal, but died before she could eat it. She was survived by an uncle, Monsignor Canon Anthony Bartlett OBE (who died in 2000), a close clerical associate of Basil Cardinal Hume to whom he was Gentiluomo.
