Two Fat Ladies Obsessions

About this book

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. Jennifers 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. Clarissas first food memory at age 3 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 la Castle Floors Ceviche of Salmon Duke of Hamiltons 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.
