Rifling Through My Drawers
Rifling Through My Drawers | Clarissa Dickson Wright
3 posts | 1 read
With her inimitable wit and outspoken views, Clarissa Dickson Wright opens her diary and takes us on a journey around Britain with this unrivalled collection of stories and anecdotes from her ever-eventful life. As celebrated cook and champion of the countryside, Clarissa's year includes being propositioned by a burly greyhound courser, meeting the Chairman of the Sandringham branch of the WI, a fishing terrier called Kipper and taking on the Health & Safety officials at a rain-drenched County Show. Criss-crossing the country she introduces us to long-forgotten traditions and colourful local festivals as she meets up with extraordinary characters and friends old and new. Entertaining, poignant, but never politically correct, RIFLING THROUGH MY DRAWERS is a breath of fresh air and proves once again why Clarissa is one of the nation's true treasures.

A very enjoyable read. I love Two Fat Ladies, which was why I picked up this book. Dickson-Wright and I might not have too much in common inn terms of interests, but I enjoyed the warmth, the seeming kindness and the humor that poured from the pages. I also liked the recipes inserted throughout the book.

Needed a break from You Must Set Forth at Dawn, which, while being beautifully written, is a bit heavy. Clarissa Dickson Wright has had me relaxed and smiling from page 1😍
