Dining With The Doctor: The Unauthorized Whovian Cookbook
J**A
Food for Who
Just came across a link to this on the Kindle and downloaded it.What can I say, I've only read two of the recipes, Banana Dalek and Sontaran Soldiers. The latter had me thinking of bread and eggs but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was nothing of the sort but in fact jacket potatoes which the whole family will eat, I have at least one fussy eater at home.Reading the recipe for Banana Dalek almost had me in tears of laughter. Chris-Rachael Oseland has a lovely turn of phrase and from the little bit I've read seems to have a wonderful way of putting her recipes down which a few of the big name chefs could use with learning.

Silly and fun
Despite poor proofreading (difference between its and it's, elicit and illicit for example), this is a delicious present idea for Dr.Who fans. The writer has a lovely sense of humour, and does try to compensate for being American in terms of ingredients and instructions - really no problem for anyone used to adapting recipes. You are bound to pick up a jolly party idea and you will smile while reading.

Bit chatty, but good for fans
It goes through each episode, giving a recipe for each one - lots of good ideas, though some episodes were clearly harder than others! It is a bit chatty, which makes it good for light-reading, but if you're a very serious cook, might get more annoying. But I liked the tone, and am going to use some of the ideas for my Dr Who party - overall, a success!

Simple ad it looks, it's full of interesting ideas ...
Simple ad it looks, it's full of interesting ideas. And lots of cocktails recipes, too! I bought it as a present, now I want one for myself!

Fantastic!
Marvellous read packed with ideas.Some of the ideas seem a little desperate, but considering there's an original recipe idea for each episode at time of publishing (Modern seasons 1-6).Great gift for any Doctor Who fan!

Odd, but I like it
This was a present for my Whovian friend, and once it arrived I got a little worried.The exterior was lovely, but the recipes contained odd photos that were odd and looked unappetising.I must say that they were very imaginative, and stating which episode they were inspired from was a nice touch. I personally believe that it's a good addition to anyones Doctor Who collect, and looks like fun to try.Great idea, and good for any novice cook who wants to make a fun dish, but overall, only an okay product.
