This cookbook is wonderful! A joy to read, even if not cooking or looking up a recipe. A few of the items are a tad difficult to come by in my part of the world (Pickled Walnuts & Gentlemens Relish for example), but most of them are accessable, and I've made many of these recipes with great success. I highly recommend "Devils on Horseback" which gave me quite a reputation at work. Thanks Jennifer & Clarissa!

This was, in my opnion, the best of the 4 cook books put out to go with the TV series "Two Fat Ladies." The lead in's to the dishes include all the charm of the first book but the receipies themselves have been better edited to make them much more user friendly. These are dishes anyone can manage.

Although the sections are spread out by type of food rather than episode, they run heavily to small nibbly things and breakfast foods which can be used any time of the day. And while a few do have ingredients difficult to find in the US (pickled walnuts?) they are well worth the effort. Some recipies here have become staples of our family table and even part of our holiday traditions.

I love to cook and I love to read a good cookbook. This provides both-good reading and good food. In my house you can always tell a well loved and used cook book by the stains on it. Splatters from flying ingrdients and such. a clean book in my house hasn't been turned loose in the cooking frenzy. People who know me and see my kitchen library can tell at a glance, this is clearly a well loved and well used book. It's that well stained!

Stop with worring about food and start enjoing it. Just reading the book rises your cholesterol level but who cares. It's great to see these ladies enyoy cooking and enyoing life. A great gift for anyone who can't stick to his/her diet and feels misserable about it.

Being a true fan of Clarissa Dickson Wright and the late Jennifer Paterson's TV Series, I was delighted to discover their book, Two Fat Ladies Ride Again. I do hope the series is available on DVD. The recipes are always unusual, well written and I'm sure, judging from the TV series, absolutely delicious. The book is worth reading for the anecdotes alone. I can't wait to acquire other books in the series or written by either of the two women.

if you 're a fan of the 2 fat ladies, then id suggest picking up their books, because a lot of the recipies they had on the shows are located in one of their *several* cookbooks.... id suggest getting them all!!!!! i just did and they're worth every penny..... id suggest picking up the series on DVD as well. i miss them.

I bought this book (and the first volume too) because I'm a fan of their TV series (I also bought the complete DVD set of all the episodes...Wow!!!).
The "Two Fat Ladies" prove again and again that cooking can be both fun and rewarding for those of us who love the kitchen but never got to go study at that famous French chef's school.
So far, every recipe in this book that I've tried has turned out exceptionally well, garnering praise from everyone who has tasted the dishes I've made using it. I can truthfully say that buying this book was one of my better ideas!!!!
I also bought the Nero Wolfe cookbook, and it also makes my kitchen time a delightful experience.

I didn't know what to expect when ordering this book, but it has exceeded my expectations. The recipes and humorous sayings are priceless.
