Two Fat Ladies was a British cooking program and assorted series starring Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright that ran from 1996 to 1999 on the BBC.  This cookbook focuses on their TV series &#34;Two Fat Ladies: Gastronomic Adventures (with Motorbike and Sidecar)&#34;.   The premise of this series involved the pair touring Britain on a Royal Enfield motorbike with a sidecar, and cooking along the way (eg eating outdoors with Scouts, baking cakes for a village fete, etc).  The show described them as: &#34;The Ladies are cooks not chefs – they reject the pretensions and elaborations of haute cuisine and are aggressively unfashionable, delighting in such ingredients as clotted cream, lard and fatty meats.&#34;   Hardcover book.  Book is signed by both ladies.
