Such a legend of a woman. May not have been the nicest from all accounts but I think she was just passionate about what she did. Much more interesting to watch that many of the celebrity cooks today who feel the need to resort to gimmickry.

She makes me think of Julia Child. Not because of any physical or personality resemblance. Just the same type of cooking show without so much editing. It's nice to see them making a mess like we actually do when we bake. Everything on t.v. now in days is so edited, so "perfected"...so fake.

She was exceptionally popular in Britain from the late 50s to the mid 70s for cooking, very much like Delia Smith now (who has said herself that she has mildly moulded her own style of presentation on Fanny Craddock's example). Unfortunately Fanny died in obscurity, having been found living in squalor in her later years. Read about her on Wikipedia

Dear America. These are petit fours. Petit four literally means "little oven" in French and covers a range of items. What Americans call petit four is only one very particular type of them.

I know these as cream puffs or eclairs. Petit fours to me are bite sized layered cakes which is what I was looking for. However, now I want to try these.

TRAV1E5A01 These are glacé petits-fours, or iced petite-fours. Petits-fours are just small baked goods. The name petits-fours means "small oven." I grew up in France but I live in California now and I have noticed that petits-fours here mean small square cakes that are covered in fondant and decorated delicately. But both the American style and what Fanny makes here both qualify as glacé petits-fours.

@@th8257 Definitely. Serving food in irregular ceramic dishes on bare tables at 3 star restaurants. Describing dishes in the menus with cryptic nouns like "veal - liquorice - moss". Etc. But mostly overconcentrating on stylish food in a world where people are starving, wasting produce and energy, overfishing the seas, keeping animals in cages etc.
