Alright, I know this is technically a 'daytime' show but I've set my PVR up to record them and it's actually pretty good. I got bored of his more recent shows -- far too much 'drama' and things that took the emphasis away from cooking. Each show has a theme and a number of recipes to put them into practice. It's obviously his take on Jamie's 30 minute meals, so it's a bit patronising in places but there's a lot of ideas. My girlfriend bought me the book so I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes.

We did the fish pie last night and it was pretty damn good! (For a girly fish pie :p). I just watched him do a NY rasberry cheesecake which I will definitely be trying!

Oh, has anyone noticed that he seems to cook absolutely everything in olive oil? Even things at a super high heat, such as steak. I wonder why he doesn't use veg oil or groundnut etc :confused:

Anyone else watching it?
 
The slow cooked pork is cooking now, will be finished at 9pm. It smells amazing. I'm doing chips & greens with it.
Awesome, post pics! I just watched the one with slow cooked short ribs. I think that's my Sunday sorted - as long as my butcher stocks them! :D

EDIT: It's really bugging me how he uses olive oil to cook everything now. Why use olive oil in a thai curry? :confused: That's just wrong! Argh! :mad:
