A Dinner of Herbs (2000)

Excellent

I have enjoyed all of Ms. Cookson's novels-to-movies. This one was no exception. A sweeping saga covering 25 years with stories of greed, love, lust and murder. A great cast and believable storyline makes this movie a must-see for Cookson fans. April 14, 2008

A Dinner of Herbs Movie Review

The first two tapes of the epic were great but the later part of the story told on the third tape didn't seem to fit with the first two. I felt as if i watched two different movies. Overall I enjoyed the film but think that a more fitting actress should have could have been chosen to play the role of the Mary Ellen in her later years! January 16, 2004

A Good One

This minseries had likeable people and a story that moved along and kept me interested. It is my own opinion that they should have kept the original actors from chapters 1-4 and aged them for the last two chapters. The change was too jarring and not believable. The actors looked and most importantly, acted thier roles too differently. it really did not mesh...still, a good story and the all imortant happy ending July 22, 2003
