I removed the phrase that said that Cradock "seemed to be having problems with her memory" when she listed her age on her last marriage certificate as 55 instead of 68. The cited source ( http://www.scotsman.com/news/fanny-cradock-1-1139496) doesn't make such a claim. Another explanation could have been that Cradock was simply trying to make herself seem younger than her actual age, as many people (both celebrities and not) have been known to do. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
< a column under the pen name of "Bon Viveur"[13] which appeared in The Daily Telegraph from 1950 to 1955 >
but the column was still going strong in the 'seventies; it made frequent references to Chateau Belair 1970!
When did the column finish?

As people can see, I've split off the various works of Cradock (all books, television appearances etc) and hived them off to a new and separate article. This means that this article can be better developed to cover her life in prose form, without the long lists that break up the texts in several places. I'll be re-working much of the article over the coming few weeks to ensure it actually covers all aspects of her life, rather than focusing on a narrow area. - SchroCat ( talk) 07:16, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Is it preferable to have a long list of every programme Cradock appeared in (as it appears in this version, or even this version), or is it preferable to have the information separated into Works of Fanny Cradock, along with all her other professional work? – SchroCat ( talk) 08:07, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
I notice the claim that she popularised the Pizza in the UK following her book Common Market Cookery: France in 1973. I am a little worried about that claim since Pizza Express opened in 1965 and the mass market Pizzaland opened in 1970. Indeed, the first Pizza restaurants opened in the 30s. Also, I am trying to find her actual recipe. If anyone has the book I would be interested to see it. But I suspect it might be for Pissaladière, which is made with a high-fat pastry rather than a bread dough. Joss ( talk) 20:18, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
