So Farewell Then by Wendy E Cook

To his many fans, Peter Cook was quite simply the funniest man they never met. He was one of the most significant influences on British comedy. In this biography, his first wife talks about a side of his that few have ever seen and no one has made public.
A fashion entrepreneur in the early Sixties, Wendy met Peter Cook while studying graphic design in Cambridge and they became engaged during the Edinburgh Festival run of Beyond the Fringe in 1960. Married in New York three years later, with Dudley Moore playing the organ, Wendy became a renowned hostess among a wide circle of talent in Manhattan and later at the couple's Hampstead home. She is the mother of Cook's two daughters and developed a pioneering interest in macrobiotic cookery in the search to improve the health of her younger child. Wendy went on to study Rudolf Steiner's education theories and to run an educational farm project in Majorca. In the Eighties she became an expert in biodynamic food and cookery and has recently published two books on the subject, Foodwise and The BioDynamic Food and Cookbook. In 2000 she graduated from Plymouth University with a degree in Waldorf education.
