Fanny Cradock Cooks for Christmas Part 1 - Your Christmas Bird 1975

In this series Fanny takes traditional recipes and uses her practical know-how to make Christmas cookery easier for the layman. Today Fanny gives advice on choosing the festive bird that suits you best and demonstrates how to stuff, cook and carve it.

[@flashtheoriginal]

She was a television natural. Abrupt? Yes. Patronising? Absolutely. But totally engaging with the professionalism to fill the entire slot with her unscripted wisdom. Truly gifted. Thanks for sharing

[@daleyseaton9426]

She was an Edwardian living in the later part of the 20th century. I find her to be fascinating, she defied social norms of the times. Looking back she had a more positive contribution to helping Britain eat more rich foods following the second world war. Her work was informative and showed people how to cook who didn't know how to prepare these dishes.

Completely random as I was born jn 1990 but I love watching these videos to see what it was like back then. It seemed to be a much simpler time and I can't help feeling nostalgic for an era I never knew and will never experience. The fact that she's talking about the preparation of Christmas food just makes it even warmer and I feel so cosy and at home whenever I watch these.

Don't think it was her cooking skill in question she very outspoken apparently and upset.a lot of people which quicked her off TV sadly

[@DeveusBelkan]

Genuinely seems like people are only bashing her because of her appearance. I suppose her blunt demeanor is off-putting to those who are rude themselves with their passive-aggressive remarks -- we certainly wouldn't want someone to provide legitimate advice or criticism when necessary. It's just much better to sneer at them with subtlety as many people do today. Now if they want to remark on her skills, about the only criticism they might have of her in this video is the contamination of the honey jar. But we are all aware that back in the day, the majority of people didn't care about such things. Every other bit of it is useful advice with consideration of the limitations that people might face. As she said, getting proper poultry cutters is difficult, yet garden cutters do the same job. And perhaps it seems savage to the modern British or American cook, but cutters/shears/scissors are common tools in the kitchen in most other countries. To disregard them is probably what Fanny was alluding to with the husbands of the world, just a bit of ego insisting on doing something a difficult way that doesn't deliver the best result. I suppose it is just much better to spend half an hour doing the job of 3 minutes, risking the chance of cutting oneself for doing it poorly. And a severed thumb probably hurts a person a deal more than the catty remark she might press upon you for doing it the stupid way in the first place.

Fanny and Johnny used to stage cooking demonstrations at the Royal Albert Hall (and they were sell out events) back in the day. She's probably not the best cook ever, abrupt? Yes. Rude? Yes. But her recipes always worked and she did feel strongly that the average housewife had a budget to work with. So most recipes were cost effective...
