Cookbooks
You know them from their eponymous hit television series
and their three previous cookbooks: Cooking with the Two
Fat Ladies, The Two Fat Ladies Ride Again, and
The Two Fat Ladies Full Throttle. Restoring passion
to cooking and outspoken humor to the world of food,
Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson have brought
joy to millions of fans. In Two Fat Ladies
Obsessions, they turned their attention to what turns
them on, taking an in-depth look at thirty-four of their
favorite ingredients, ranging from Oysters, Chicken,
Chilies, Lamb, and Olives to Raspberries, Chocolate,
Peaches, Salt, Butter, and Coffee. More than 150 recipes --
all written in true Fat Lady style -- reveal not only the
history of these foods, but also why they are so near and
dear to their hearts.
Jennifer's fondness for Lobster
Puffs, Maine Style, stemmed from the time she spent cooking
on a boat off the coast of New England, while her
Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe was a favorite from a
childhood stint in Sicily. Clarissa's first food memory, at
age 3 ½, of eating a cold sausage and a hard-boiled egg,
leads to a wonderful recipe for Simple Sausage Ragu, and her
years spent working on a pheasant farm provide a variety of
ways to prepare the bird, including delectable Georgian
Pheasant. Other recipes, such as T-Bone Steak à la Castle
Floors, Ceviche of Salmon, Duke of Hamilton's Fig Ice Cream,
Walnut Pancakes, and Raspberry and Chocolate Millefeuilles,
offer a new twist on foods we all love.
Uniquely
personal and highly entertaining, Two Fat Ladies
Obsessions will delight old and new fans alike and
serves as a fittingly robust tribute to the memory of
Jennifer Paterson.
