Fanny shares her recipe for Christmas pudding and the method for making the old-fashioned 'round pudding', together with her brandy butter and the recipe for her Mum's trifle
"I've touched that bowl with the chocolate, haven't I - so don't write and tell me, 'cause I've seen it!"👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Even in 1975 people wrote their opinions where it was never needed. If only Fanny presided over Facebook!!
I was seventeen at Christmas 1975 & remember seeing these when they were first broadcast. Wonderful to see them again now I'm nearly 66. An amazing woman. Later to be a controversial one too. But here she is at her very best at a 70s Christmas when Queen were No1 with Bohemian Rhapsody for the fist time & we were looking forward to Morecambe & Wise on Christmas Day. Happy times.😊
Amazing woman? 😂 she was absolutely hideous as a person. This is what makes these so good and nostalgic she was terrifying. One of her many horrible traits
This was 1975 - getting on for half a century ago. Nobody had video recorders so you couldn't just watch it all again later. The booklet was really important because of that. You could write in to the BBC with a postal order or cheque and they'd send you one. A lot of other programmes had similar things. Also worth noting that Fanny was born in 1909. She's basically an Edwardian and lived through both the first and second world wars. This is a bit of history we're watching.
I do find it funny how many times she mentioned that everything is written in the booklet you could make it a drinking game take a shot every time she mentions it’s all mentioned in the booklet
She was a nasty woman! Mean and rude to everyone that is why she lost her show and they did not renew her contract after she humiliated Gwen who won the contest!
@@bostonteaparty3926gwen? The woman talking about her coffee pudding? I saw that video and did not see any attacks from fanny trying to humiliate the woman. I have seen chefs acting much worse and nobody seems to care.
These videos are just priceless..Just imagine, before we had a comment section people actually put pen to paper, wrote a comment, bought a stamp and actually posted it.. Oh the good old days when the complainers had to put in a bit of effort..
Thankyou so much for putting this on. It saves me trolling throu the tv cooking channels looking for it. Me and my daughter that’s now 12 watch these episodes every year as one of our Christmas Traditions x
I thought that was the norm until the 90s at least. Seem to remember some early 90s cooking shows looking similarly basic except for Delia and then Jamie.
I'm happy to see that people's general opinion of one of my favorite chefs, Fanny Cradock... has changed, In bed, more people have found her and love her.. Years back, not too long ago.. There were very few videos of her on TH-cam and the ones you would find had mostly negative comments..I always stood as a proud fan and follower of this great gourmand.
Just watched a BBC movie about her called "Fear of Fanny". It's a really good movie, and Fanny is quite the fascination character. I'm from Virginia, USA, so I wasn't really aware of her until I was watching an episode of The French Chef with Julia Child, and Julia mentioned her. Fanny is very blunt, and to the point, but she's interesting to watch. I love how she always refers to "the booklet"....Wonder if any of those "booklets" are available online?
So interesting hearing her talk about how things were done "back in her day", especially since people compare today to the 70s so often. I wonder what normal things for us will become unheard of
Easy to forget that Fanny Craddock was born in 1909. She was 66 here and born in the Edwardian era. She'd lived through both of the wars and the depression. She must have seen some huge changes.
"Now, Sarah's going to take that over there... but she;s also coming over here... it's okay Sarah I can manage while you';re doing what I told you to do!" OHH FANNY
Easy to forget that she was 66 here. She was literally an Edwardian. She was rapidly going out of fashion and her TV career would soon be over and a new generation of TV cooks took over.
@@zeddekaThe BBC wanted rid of her and set her up on the programme where they knew she would be very critical of the cookery competition winner so they could use it as an excuse to get rid of her. Fanny's main replacement was Delia Smith.
My mother in law gave me one of her cook books, wow, it tells you about how to be the perfect housewife, some of the things. Absolutely crazy. She scares me.
@@benfisher1376True. Though Trifles always look a mess when they’re served. I think this version would taste nice though. Sponge, custard, chocolate and cream. Can’t go wrong really.
I read that she's Delia Smith, and Fanny does call her Delia right at the end when calls her over to decorate the trifle. I wonder why she used the name Sarah and if all her assistants had fake names.
I didn’t know if this woman until I saw the film on her life on TH-cam - not surprisingly, the Brits like to tear everyone apart and focus in the shortcomings of people. She seems to have given a lot of people joy.
But at least it wasn't full of Additives 'crap' as everything is today. No wonder people have so many allergies. A restaurant/cafe we visit within a local Garden Centre, on their menu has about ten allergies listed including Mustard, Celery and God knows what else. What's wrong with people today?
He was poorly at the time. He had a heart attack in the early 70s so fanny appeared on her own thereafter. But he was still around putting up with her until he died in 1987.😊
What is this booklet she keeps referring to? Was it something the BBC gave away at the time or is it what she called her cookbook? Either way it makes this show a bit useless to watch now as we are missing out on all of the essential information for these recipes.
You could write in to the BBC with a cheque or postal order for 50p and they'd post you out a copy of the booklet. There are some books available now where they have reprinted all the info from the booklets.

Today MOST “ AMERICAN WOMAN” DONT BODER TO COOK .. Just JUNK FOOD=CANCER Poor kids😢😡😢
I’d never try these but I love her humour reminds me of my grandmother very old school
Fanny craddock was born in 1909. We're basically watching an Edwardian cook. This is a bit of history.
It all tastes gorgeous!
"...vaults of Escoffier..."
I do find it funny how many times she mentioned that everything is written in the booklet you could make it a drinking game take a shot every time she mentions it’s all mentioned in the booklet
A passing critical bird
Her and villa were cut from the same clothe 😍
I still make homemade trifles to take me back to the seventies & go looking for ice cream Swiss roll.. so seventies
She was a wonder, really, wasn't she? Terrifying, but a wonder.
Look how thick the tin foil was in thoses days,,it thin as paper now.
can you imagine Fanny & keith floyd together lol
Magic!
Radioactive brandy butter hmm 🤢
Is Sarah actually Delia Smith? She's a spitting image.
She travelled by broomstick.
Very mean and evil woman.
Just so everybody knows, all the instructions are in the booklet.
Is that the booklet that was only mentioned 56 times, and which was available to the viewer 48 years ago? 🤣
😂😂
which is really a small book!
I want to watch everything this woman has ever done. I love her
LOL- you have GOT to be kidding!
I've never wanted a booklet so bad.
"Poor darling, she's no nervous on television her hands are shaking."
It wasn't the cameras Fanny, it was never the cameras. 😅
She was a nasty woman! Mean and rude to everyone that is why she lost her show and they did not renew her contract after she humiliated Gwen who won the contest!

@@gracianomaso3333I agree I watched that video yesterday evening, Fanny was giving critical criticism, she was just trying to help
These videos are just priceless..Just imagine, before we had a comment section people actually put pen to paper, wrote a comment, bought a stamp and actually posted it.. Oh the good old days when the complainers had to put in a bit of effort..
I'm in my 20s and still send letters and postcards 😅
Or you could be Mary Whitehouse
@@mirandakerman3573 not to complain I hope ..
@@magzsara9892 nope
Steam for 10 hours fucking hell gas bill nowadays would be crippling lol
One he'll of an expensive pudding!😂
*hell
My mom made a delicious one that took less than 4 hours. Of course, it was quite a bit smaller.
Along with the price of Lurpak nowadays 😂😂😂
I'd love to get my hands on the booklet. I love these shows and watch them as a source of comfort and nostalgia. Helps tackle loneliness x
keepcalmandfannyon.blogspot.com/p/recipes.html
the recipes are all there on this website. The booklet is out there, used, but hard to find
Thanks so much for posting.
11:49 “passing critical bird” 😂😂
"... and you see a lovely piece on somebody's.... on your side of the hedge." 😁
…or by the side of the road
Thankyou so much for putting this on. It saves me trolling throu the tv cooking channels looking for it. Me and my daughter that’s now 12 watch these episodes every year as one of our Christmas Traditions x
That’s so cool !
It’s a tradition of mine too! 🤣
@@yolandajones4990 she’s 15 now, how scary that lol
EmmaJane Watts time flies!
17 now
Why did they never build her a real kitchen set. She was on for years and the set always looks like an appliance store display.😂
I thought that was the norm until the 90s at least. Seem to remember some early 90s cooking shows looking similarly basic except for Delia and then Jamie.
Baby Jane Hudson...🤣
That's a really good one ! lol .... 😂
Yes!!!!
5:19 you can find Fanny's recipe for homemade Kryptonite in the little booklet
I love when she tells Sarah she can manage,so passive aggressive 😂
We would ask for nothing less
Who can possibly eat food after this many amphetamines? 😂
In order to work for Fanny on her show, she required her assistants to have their vocal chords removed.
‘It’s all in the booklet!’
Really more of a small book than a bookley ;)
Every Christmas the BBC should broadcast this!
I'm happy to see that people's general opinion of one of my favorite chefs, Fanny Cradock... has changed, In bed, more people have found her and love her.. Years back, not too long ago.. There were very few videos of her on TH-cam and the ones you would find had mostly negative comments..I always stood as a proud fan and follower of this great gourmand.
But Fanny, is it in the booklet?
I take it in Fanny’s day presentation wasn’t the key. Just slap it all in a bowl and serve!!
I would be shaking And Terrified standing next to you Dear 😄🤣😂
I adore this woman! No Flim-Flam XX
She loved saying "booklet". It was probably really a "book". I will call it a "booklet", just for Fanny.
Just watched a BBC movie about her called "Fear of Fanny". It's a really good movie, and Fanny is quite the fascination character. I'm from Virginia, USA, so I wasn't really aware of her until I was watching an episode of The French Chef with Julia Child, and Julia mentioned her.

Did anyone else notice the cue point which they didnt do a close up on
Haha yeah 12:17
I'm just wondering where I can get the cook times? Is there a booklet that we might hear about at the end?
Reminds me of the "Seeds of Doom" episode of Doctor Who
The Kitchen Dowager Dragoness ?
What is a "passing critical bird"? Is it simply a bird that 💩 on your roses because it doesn't like you?
That's exactly what she means.
"Now, Sarah's going to take that over there... but she;s also coming over here... it's okay Sarah I can manage while you';re doing what I told you to do!" OHH FANNY
Johnny her husband once famously said at the end of a programme ‘I hope all your doughnuts taste like Fanny’s ‘ !
Not "taste," I believe it was, "And I hope all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's!"
"Your side of the hedge" *evil look to camera*
I love how she says you can find everything in the booklet. Now you can find everything online.
Except for this booklet. It's nowhere to be found.
I’ve just fallen in love with Fanny
Please upload any of these Fanny programs. She and Terry Wogan kept this F111 Pilot happy!
Does't the food look dated? Even for 1975. I bet it was delicious though.
Easy to forget that she was 66 here. She was literally an Edwardian. She was rapidly going out of fashion and her TV career would soon be over and a new generation of TV cooks took over.
@@zeddekaThe BBC wanted rid of her and set her up on the programme where they knew she would be very critical of the cookery competition winner so they could use it as an excuse to get rid of her. Fanny's main replacement was Delia Smith.
People today still scoff at the mention of Prawn cocktails and their ilk but I love them.
I am not going to give you a comment now, because my opinion is in the booklet (which is really a small book this year).
@ 4.53 did Fanny’s assistant throw some shade there? 😂
My mother in law gave me one of her cook books, wow, it tells you about how to be the perfect housewife, some of the things. Absolutely crazy. She scares me.
Oddly , I dont like her personally , but Fanny's voice is so relaxing to me!
Is the booklet still available?😂
🤢🤢🤢
Silicone spatulas have made bowl scraping so much easier.
It all looks awful, and I love it, love her
Why do you think it all looks awful?
It's really messy looking. Also who puts chocolate in a trifle?😐
@@benfisher1376Yes there are variations involving chocolate.
@@benfisher1376True. Though Trifles always look a mess when they’re served. I think this version would taste nice though. Sponge, custard, chocolate and cream. Can’t go wrong really.
@@lisab4207 And horrible Confectioner's custard that never sets - ghastly. Today you can buy liquid custard like that in pots. Revolting.
Here we are again and my daughter is 18 now. Where do the years go?
She’s been “allowed” to add more stuff to the booklet? Who is going to be brave enough to tell her that she can’t add what she wants?
My Cholesterol has risen just watching this.
I wonder what happened to Sarah, I know Fanny died several years ago, she was very eccentric and was our equivalent of America's Julia Childs
Was Sarah a relative?
That's something to think about, she may have been.
I read that she's Delia Smith, and Fanny does call her Delia right at the end when calls her over to decorate the trifle. I wonder why she used the name Sarah and if all her assistants had fake names.
Will this be in the booklet????
OMG!
Thank you so much @meganoikz
This lady is hysterically funny and forthright!
I'd never heard of her.
Who came first Cradock Or Child?
And I have a copy of the booklet in pdf
Poor thing!
That woman was a star
A hot mess is more like it!
@@bostonteaparty3926 Yes, but entertaining with it.
‘Just one more dollop’! Mmmm, my mouth is watering.
when british cooking was real and not in a plastic box for the microwave
And food was famously bad. Where you struggled to find olive oil anywhere outside of a chemist, where it was sold to clear ear wax.
@@zeddeka Lol
Really - Mommy Dearest meets Julia Child
Let's hope all your Christmas puddings turn out like Fanny's.
Holly is toxic so not really that good to use.
I hope all my puddings end up looking like Fanny's.
I think I've got these greatest x preponderance,
I so want this booklet!
"...Christmas byoofay..."
I didn’t know if this woman until I saw the film on her life on TH-cam - not surprisingly, the Brits like to tear everyone apart and focus in the shortcomings of people. She seems to have given a lot of people joy.
Everything looked and tasted like crap in the 70's. Especially Xmas nosh.
But at least it wasn't full of Additives 'crap' as everything is today. No wonder people have so many allergies. A restaurant/cafe we visit within a local Garden Centre, on their menu has about ten allergies listed including Mustard, Celery and God knows what else. What's wrong with people today?
3 weeks??? I cane here from doo doo ball tik tok...lmao
So did I lol. And booger tree.
ohmahh ghhhhahhhh can . i . marry . her......?
She's been dead since 1994 so you may be a bit hard pressed to marry her.
Are you Jimmy Savile?
Might need some air freshener or get some fabreze……
Only cooking fanny I’ve very seen
The stuff of nightmares...
She's slurring her words BAD.. been well into her cups by this point, I would venture to say..
Where’s Johnny….
He was poorly at the time. He had a heart attack in the early 70s so fanny appeared on her own thereafter. But he was still around putting up with her until he died in 1987.😊
Dead
What is this booklet she keeps referring to? Was it something the BBC gave away at the time or is it what she called her cookbook? Either way it makes this show a bit useless to watch now as we are missing out on all of the essential information for these recipes.
Yes it was
I think it cost 50p at the time.
When the programme came out in 1975 you would have been able to get one.
You may find one on Ebay. I bought one about 4 years ago from there.
You could write in to the BBC with a cheque or postal order for 50p and they'd post you out a copy of the booklet. There are some books available now where they have reprinted all the info from the booklets.
She’s amazing but I wouldn’t put that round ball pudding thing in my mouth lol
