James May: Oh Cook!

James may brings his usual charm and humour to a cookery show like no other. Funny and quirky will hope for a season 2

I have watch travel cooking shows.

I have watched in your kitchen cooking shows.

All do what it says on the tin and the delivery is I suppose faultless but it is made for cooks.

James May is just delightful. Like the rest of us is not a cook nor spending a ton of time in the kitchen cooking.

But like the rest of us enjoys good food and good wine!

This is so good. So funny. Not pretentious like most cooking shows. Honest. And James May - Captain Slow and precise at his best proves that cooking is about following well written instructions in receipes to the letter to produce good food. Really good fun. Keep it coming.

Season 3 please.

Perhaps what has been the most fun is how laid back the attitude of the show is. The crew are regularly included in some way and the process of how these kinds of shows are made becomes a part of the show itself. It's taken the cooking show format and made it something fun and actually human/real (i.e no fake chemistry between hosts or attempts to hide mistakes with the cooking).

I've no idea if he made these recipes himself but his completely easy to understand way of explaining how to cook these dishes is fantastic for novices. It's also surprising that he's managed to keep a lot of these processes simple and not overly complicated, as that is his usual style.

I utterly love this show. I hope season 2 will mean a second cookbook and that we HOPEFULLY get a season 3 at some point too.

I never enjoyed cooking shows. I don't understand their purpose. And I hate cooking. I will never even try any of the recipes. But after having known James for his series in Japan, when I saw this I knew I had to watch. And I am so glad I did. It was a great entertainment: not only James is hilarious and interesting as always, but the whole team in my opinion found the perfect recipe for a great show. I love the way they joke with each other, how they play with the editing by keeping 'behind the scenes' bits and the way they mixed all these ingredients together. I just finished this show and I am already missing it. Please, do something else on any random subject before I'll have to go watch motors and cars, because it's something I really would avoid, even if James is in it! Also, where can one get a personal Nikki?

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.
