I can't imagine actually making any of the recipes, but they are fun to read. They run from 1984-1990, and are heavy on mousses and aspic, with a good sprinkling of organ meats. Anyone who has watched "The Two Fat Ladies" show will be able to hear Jennifer's voice while reading such comments as, "I have no idea how the rabbit got into Easter: pagan fertility stuff or Walt Disney cuteness? Whatever the reason, my feeling is eat it."

I read the forward and the beginnings of each section, but not many of the recipes. They're really too fancy for me which I already knew from watching all four seasons of the show. I thought this book was all the seasons, but it's just season three. Unfortunately, the book doesn't indicate on each recipe in which episode it appears. I guess you have to watch the shows and then look for recipe.
