| British writer and television cook. From 1955 she became known for her ‘bon viveur’ television cookery programmes, dressed in a ball gown, and presented with her monocled husband, Johnny. Her writing included cookery books, children's books, several novels (under the pen name Frances Dale), and columns on cookery and restaurants in the daily press, which became notorious for their social pretension and outspoken opinions. |
