Review MasterCook: Two Fat Ladies / Sierra 3348542070233:There are only 200 recipes on MasterCook Two Fat Ladies, but what recipes they are. Anyone familiar with the antics of the Two Fat Ladies on TV or with their printed cookbooks (including Two Fat Ladies and Two Fat Ladies: Full Throttle may recognise some of the fare. For those not familiar with the TV series, it is safe to say that the recipes have a tendency towards the rich side, suitable for those of large appetites, and not really ideal for vegetarians. While there are some veggie dishes included, the dinner time cry is more likely to be "pheasant and pickled walnut terrine, anyone?", than "gratin of beetroot tonight, dear?"There are some nice features here that can't be found in a cookbook: quantities can be automatically adjusted to suit the number of people you want to feed; the software can suggest alternatives if a recipe involves ingredients you don't have or don't like; and you can assess the nutritional information about each recipe at an almost frightening level of detail. You can also add your own recipes to the database and create shopping lists automatically. Despite the death of one of the Ladies, their reputation as cooks endures, and with this CD-ROM you can have a go at recreating some of their great meals-and watch your nutritional intake as well. -Sandra Vogel.

Review Oz Clarke¿s Wine Guide 2001 / Focus Multimedia Ltd 5031366013675:When it comes to wine, many of us know what we like and what we don't like, but this knowledge is often based on experience rather than on a real understanding of wine. When choosing a new wine, a snoop around the supermarket with half an eye on price is often the main technique used. Instead of that, why not dip into Oz Clarke's Wine Guide 2001. You may recognise the man from his various TV appearances, but in case you don't it is worth noting that he is a wine expert with a friendly and humorous way of presenting his subject-and you get to see plenty of videos of him doing just that on this CD. The CD divides its contents into separate sections. You can learn about how to taste wine: everything from what kind of glass to use-red really does benefit from a large bowl shaped glass-to how to sniff it, and example videos using real wines show Oz Clarke actually performing tastings. A world atlas of wine tells you about how wine is classified, while an encyclopaedia is there for you to look up your favourite tipple. It has over 2000 entries. A section on matching food and wine helps you decide what goes well with what, while if you would like to know more about generalia, from wine labels to grape varieties, there is an "all about wine" section for browsing. Finally, a wine selector allows you to enter variables such as what food you want to eat with your wine, where in the world you want it to come from, and what grape variety you prefer. [+]It will make suitable suggestions. This is a superbly well-constructed CD ROM: fun to browse and easy to search for specifics, the on-screen design is delightful, and the information content plentiful. -Sandra Vogel.
