I'm confused on the last two :

15D Cold-weather drink (lots!) for recipients of rage (5-4) P?N?H-?E?S

which looks like it should be Punch bags but the conflicting E comes from the third letter of :

24A Batter in progress for this famous cookery writer (6) B???O?

which looks like it should be Beaton?

Or not.

Thanks

Beeton?
Question Author
Yes, I want to write Beeton but that makes 15D ?E?S for the second word...
Maybe the compiler is mistaken in the spelling of Beeton because beat on looks good for 24a.
Question Author
That's what I was thinking unless anyone knows a cookery writer B?A?O? or maybe I made an earlier mistake :

19D This figure's a stunner! (6) ?U???R

which I thought was Number.
15d Punch Bags
^Sorry didn't read the full post. Number looks OK. I agree the compiler has got the spelling of Mrs Beeton wrong.

Thanks all.
