Ep 48 - The Year of Eating Dangerously
Monday May 31, 2010
Monday May 31, 2010
We like to think of ourselves as being culinary adventurous, but travel costs a lot of money, so until we get a radio or TV show we have to make due with the magic of books to transport us to exotic edibles and forbidden foods. Tom's book (believe us, Mr. Bowles, it's better we refer to you informally in the show so we'll stop butchering your last name) is just the ticket to reading about dishes that you could only imagine yourself eating (or not eating).

Ep 32 - The Good Fare and Cheer of Old England!

http://zweifatchicks.podbean.com
The Good Fare and Cheer of Old England is a book we discovered at the Orillia Library. We loved it so much we bought a copy, and felt it needed it's own ZFC show to spread the word about how great a book it is! We are going to look into the copyright information (so far it looks like it has not been renewed and has fallen into Public Domain), so we are also going to work on creating an Audiobook version of it.

Snack #2 - Clarissa and the King's Cookbook
Sunday Nov 15, 2009
Sunday Nov 15, 2009
http://zweifatchicks.podbean.com Unfortunately, for the last few weeks, the Zwei Fat Chicks have had the flu and were unable to record. Fortunately, we have an unreleased snack to placate you with! We incorrectly refer to the show as "Clarissa and the King's Table" - it is actually "Clarissa and the King's Cookbook" and we found an educational site that you can watch the video on for free: http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/educational_and_howto/watch/v18924548G84dj5dD For more information, check out BBC Four's website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/medieval/cookbook.shtml
