They're eccentric, they're outspoken--and they're back, ready for more delicious adventures! Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson, stars of Food Network's and PBS's hit series The Two Fat Ladies, once again take to their motorcycle and sidecar and serve up rich, delectable dishes in the tradition of their first book, Cooking with the Two Fat Ladies. Their irreverent wit and pure, old-fashioned enjoyment of food has won them a devoted audience on both sides of the Atlantic. But they are much more than entertainers, as The Two Fat Ladies Ride Again reaffirms. Packed with more than 120 recipes, from Light Dishes, Starters, and Savories to Picnics, Ride Again rises to the standard set by the Ladies' best-selling first collection. Breakfast has never been so lavish as with their Aniseed Waffles, Bread and Butter Pudding, and Red Flannel Hash. Feast on Devilled Fish Sandwiches and Scottish Seed Cake, then wash it all down with a Royal Bombay Yacht Club Cocktail ("As drunk by the very drunk at the Royal Bombay Yacht Club"). The Ladies laugh in the face of the fat-fearing fanatic and are proud to share such decadent gems as Spare Ribs and Whisky Chocolate Pie. Sprinkled throughout are whimsical personal anecdotes and snapshots of the Ladies, inviting all to experience their world of devilish fun and feast. Dickson Wright and Paterson eat and live indulgently and encourage others to do the same, giving??readers license to partake in their full-flavored food--and enjoy every delicious moment.
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.
A well stained book in my collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
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!
Two Fat Ladies Ride Again

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.
This cookbook is the most fun of any I've come across!

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!

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.
