Vegetarians and the faint of heart, beware! But for everyone else, the Two Fat Ladies are back, and they are simply spectacular. In this British television series, Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright cook for lunch, cocktail party, afternoon tea, picnic, breakfast, or dinner and travel (by motorcycle and sidecar) to a different location in each episode to cook a requested meal--usually laden with cream, butter, and meats (Jennifer notes of one tartine: "Delicious, despite its vegetarian overtones"). Yes, this is a cooking show, but with Jennifer and Clarissa's patter, it has the feel of a comedy. As they whip up Loin of Pork Stuffed with Mushrooms and a pot of Clam Chowder, the Two Fat Ladiessing the praises of bacon (Clarissa hints at a risqué past when she notes that bacon is a great hangover cure; not that she gets hangovers anymore. Other allusions to falling off barstools and beer for breakfast are dotted throughout). The meals look sumptuous--salmon soaked in wine and topped with orange rings, Brazilian bean fritters, fruit tartlets, vichyssoise, and so much more--and it's terrific fun following the women as they go sightseeing (a motorcycle rally, watching a male choir, on a quest for the perfect drink at the Brazilian embassy, at a brewery, picking strawberries). Jennifer is likely to break out in song or rhyme, and Clarissa tells interesting facts and gossip from her life. They chitchat about tips for picking up men, the fact that nutmeg is a hallucinogenic, the beauty of British military boys, how you can't get crackling in Scotland or France. So, be prepared to learn how to core a kidney (and who knew kidneys needed coring?), make cracker crumbs, and laugh along at the antics of these two rather large women. The Two Fat Ladies are destined to become a cooking classic. The four-season, 24-episode DVD set includes biographies of Paterson and Wright, a documentary tribute to Paterson, and a recipe booklet. --Jenny Brown

Helps me plan new things for me and my friends to enjoy. I recommend these DVDs to everyone who enjoys learning how to create simple tasty meals. Their humor is brilliant. - Scenic trips through Great Britain and beyondThis is just like I remembered it - the Two Fat Ladies take you on interesting trips to quaint little places throughout Great Britain and beyond while undertaking to cook meals in various kitchens for the inhabitants.I actually visited a place in Ireland (Kylemore Abbey at Connemara) based on one of the episodes. This is a great relaxing dvd, can bit a touch slow at times but the conversations between the two girls hint at rich lives well lived.Definitely worth the price. - FAT-TASTIC!!!Forget the diet and strap on the feedbag 'cuz these ladies get down to business! Butter, double-cream, thick cream, and of course-LARD! Although the cooking is somewhat out of the ordinary, Jennifer and Clarissa do cook with all-natural ingredients, and their recipies do make your mouth water. A MUST HAVE. - Paula Deen's British cousins?My wife loved the show when it was on, so she was delighted when I found this DVD set for her.They travel around Great Britain on a Norton motorcycle and sidecar fixing meals for groups of people ranging from football clubs to priests, using fresh ingredients and lots of cream and butter.
