5.0 out of 5 stars Unapologetic indulgence, August 15, 1999

By

This review is from: Two Fat Ladies : Volume 1 and 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a former and sometimes still practicing quasi-vegetarian,well aware of chloresterol, red meat and warnings of possible negativeconsequences, I can't help but think that the sheer joy of cooking which comes across from Jennifer and Clarissa in these and their other videos, can only increase my life expectancy! I became addicted to their shows the first time I happened to be in New York and have since done my best to obtain as many videos and books as possible. With a former British upbringing I fully appreciate their humour and cutting sarcastic remarks about 'polystyrene board' alias supermarket chicken (Episode on 'Game') or in the same episode Clarissa's impersonation of a microwave oven and lamentations over the younger generations' missing out on being brought up with the aromas of real cooking. Although I am not a cook by profession, I am more than aware of and acknowledge that there are many excellent books/videos around by talented chefs. But in the case of 2 fat ladies as becomes so obvious in the first few minutes of the videos, they are more than just cooking. We hear nursery rhymes in Latin in the episode on meat, accounts of Catherine de Medici and how she nearly died from an overdose of artichokes on her wedding day as the they prepare lunch for the priests of Westminster Cathedral in the absence of the Portuguese nuns and hear vivid descriptions of the habits of pheasants which I won't go into details about here. These videos are a must and I can't recommend them highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shameless and adorable!, October 9, 1999

This review is from: Two Fat Ladies : Volume 1 and 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is priceless! In an age when we all are watching our fat intake and waistlines, Jennifer and Clarissa fearlessly take on the forbidden art of cream, butter and wine. Besides their delicious dishes, they shamelessly will entertain a fine wine and cigarette after a day of cooking, something you NEVER see anymore. Bless their hearts. I miss Jennifer already.

5.0 out of 5 stars These women are great, February 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Two Fat Ladies : Volume 1 and 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What's important about the Two Fat Ladies is their sensual account of cooking wonderful foods. And their humor. Consider watching them on the FOOD CHANNEL on some cable providers. You'll be addicted immediately.

Kind regards,
