"An antidote to solemn cooking shows" -- The Boston Globe "An Anglophile's delight" -- The Boston Globe "Go-for-the-gusto cooking style" -- The Wall Street Journal With an outsized passion for fun, Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright take cooking and conversation to places where ordinary food shows dare not go. These eccentric dames crisscross the British Isles on their Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle and sidecar, preparing sumptuous feasts for all manner of folks, from lumberjacks to teenage lacrosse players. They shun faddish, health-conscious fare in favor of big, old-fashioned flavor -- usually enhanced by bacon, cream, and butter.All the while, the ladies hilariously hold forth on every topic under the sun, often bursting into song as the spirit moves them. Their generous wit and lust for life remind us that fine cooking -- like fine dining -- always goes better in good company.Join Jennifer and Clarissa on all 24 of their adventures, from a Benedictine abbey to the Brazilian embassy. As Jennifer would say, "Quelle treat!" As seen on Food Network and public television. DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE bios of Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright, documentary tribute to Jennifer Patterson, and a recipe booklet.
