Artwork of the Week features this recognisable portrait of Britain’s own Fanny Cradock! Painted by Zoe Michel in Project Ability’s Wednesday Art Group, you can see this painting in the flesh at Project Ability. The exhibition is up in our Gallery II until 27 February. For those of you who aren’t aquainted with this British icon…
Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey (26 February 1909 – 27 December 1994), better known as Fanny Cradock, was an English restaurant critic, television celebrity chef and writer frequently appearing on television, at cookery demonstrations and in print with Major Johnnie Cradock who played the part of a slightly bumbling hen-pecked husband.
