Prue Leith

[jennyjoan]

Do you like Prue's sense of dress and colourful glasses - I do. Wonder where she gets them. Real funky

[Mamyalynne]

I admire her confidence and individuality, yes.

Her glasses are available from lots of places, a quick Google tells me.

Pound shop ?

[maggiebee]

Sorry but I've never heard of her. Who is she/what does she do?

[retrocop]

It is suspected Ronit Furst.

She is a cook, and has a cookery school.

Thanks retro, will have a wee google.

I ate at Leith's in Mayfair many decades ago, the first trip to the Big Smoke with the parental units and also the first really decent restaurant that I had eaten in. Still remember it, not least she had those chrome and 'wicker-weave' seats and if you pushed back on them, they went flying over the tiled floor.

1969 if I remember right.

maybe the same place jo brand use to get her glasses

[Zacs-Master]

She looked like she'd had a fight with a BT exchange box, last night.

I love it when older people don't act their age....ie conform to what many would expect. She's 79 and does't act/look it and much better than ubiquitoous Mary Berry (who has yet another new series starting next week. Yawn.)

...ubiquitous......
