James May: Oh Cook!

This series is so funny if you are bored and want to watch something to pass time I would highly recommend this it's quite funny and definitely should be a second season.

Really do wish that you guys would just allow James and Nikki to co host rather than kicking Nikki out of the kitchen. Nikki and James just work together like pie and peas would love to see Nikki and James both at the Forefront of the show as co-hosts as the charisma between the two is second to none

Perhaps May was inspired to get in to foodtribe and this show after making a better fish pie than Ramsay while drunk. Anyway, I have always loved him as a presenter from toy stories and man lab. He has a knack for speaking while performing a task and makes his adventure in cooking very fun to watch. Especially because he is very passionate about it. The show is informative, it is funny, and it makes fun of traditional cooking shows by including the crew with more amusing banter. If you liked previous May shows you will like this.

Most people unfamilar with James May could regard this show as too laid back and possibly lacking all the flair of other cooking shows. That's kind-of the point of this show, however, because James isn't a professional cook. Instead, we're seeing his learning process. All the while he's including history and interesting facts with all of the very practical advice that most other cooking shows skim over. I watch alot of cooking shows and this is the best of them. Each episode has a specific theme. It does a great job of focusing on the points that make you a better cook, leaving the bunch of cooking fluff of other shows aside.

I like the show, because i can identify a bit with James. He is not an experienced cook, so he learns as he goes and teaches us some fundamentals at the same time. He does have the advantage of a good kitchen and professional help. But in the end he is stumbling through instructions, like most of us.

I think i learned more about cooking then any other show and I especially like him trying out dumb cooking tools, to make life as an amateur cook easier. He should do that more in the next season. Because most tools do not work, or work very briefly. A sharp knife has to date been the best advise. However, some tools do actually work and i would love to know about them.

Really hope there is going to be another season!
