Clarissa has liver her life on a grand scale. Her mother was an Australian heiress, her father a brilliant surgeon. But he was also a tyrannical and violent drunk. Clarissa was determined and clever though and her ambition led her, at the age of 21, to be the youngest woman ever called to the Bar.
Shortly after, disaster struck when her adored mother died suddenly and Clarissa's grief led to a mind-numbing decade of over-indulgence during which she drank and partied away her entire enormous inheritance. It was a long hard road to recovery - and in the end it was cooking that brought her success, as one half of the much-loved TV partnership 'Two fat ladies', as well as sobriety and peace.
