Summary: More for reading than for cooking from
Review: A fun read, but the recipes aren't reliable. I've used this book for an enjoyable read, and to come up with ideas for things to cook, but I don't cook from it any more -- most of the dishes I have tried either were not particularly good or they didn't come out right at all.

Summary: Cookbook translates superbly from the small screen
Review: After watching Two Fat Ladies on PBS here in San Francisco, CA I was eager to try the recipes that were featured. I was amazed how the women's personalities translated over to the book (which isn't easy to do). I am now familiar with English food that when I take my second trip to the UK I will be able explain what "yorkshire pudding", "shepherd's pie" and "haggis" to my fellow American travelers.

Summary: Well, the recipes aren't all that good
Review: Funny, I like their style, but the recipes are definitely English and not really new or different. If you buy cookbooks to cook, you might not find this useful. If you buy cookbooks to read, you'll enjoy it.

Summary: Tasty Recipes That Actually Turn Out Right.
Review: I actually taught myself to cook using this book. I had never been much of a cook before I discovered the Two Fat Ladies television program, but was so intrigued that I ordered their cookbook after seeing only a few episodes. The recipes it contains offer genuine flavor and not the tasteless slimmed-down "light" cuisine I find almost inedible. The desserts are particularly good, and I have successfully made the Adult Chocolate Cake, the Danish Apple and Prune Cake, and the Galette Des Trois Roix. Unlike other cookbooks I have tried, these recipes actually worked. Moreover, the ladies' overall cooking philosophy comes through in the book, emphasizing organic ingredients and better quality meats over bland supermarket-stocked products. You'll also benefit from the interesting food history cited throughout that comes from Clarissa Dicksen-Wright's vast knowledge of earlier cooking techniques, and the tremendous good humor of the memorable and beloved Jennifer Paterson. I highly recommend the book, together with the sequals from the follow on series.

Summary: These Ladies Are A Trip!
Review: I have no idea who could really eat any of the receipes, (you'd have to have the EMS standing next to you) but, BOY are they fun to read. You've never seen anything like them. The ingredients they use, the meals they make, the language they use, it's unbelievable. I've learned so much from them. About different types of food, styles, history and uses. It's a fun and entertaining book. I say, GOOD LUCK to you if you really use it as a manual. I'll pray for you! :)

Summary: This book is great!
Review: I too am tired of all the Low Fat Cookbooks. Sometimes the REAL THING is a treat. However I find that some of the ingredients are hard to find here in the U.S.A. I also find that the same 6 or 7 shows repeat too often on the T.V.. Hopefully there are more episodes. Since they are mostly dated in 1996 it would be nice if they could make some new ones now that the new cookbook Full Throttle is out.
