Oh Cook!: The cookbook from James May with simple, easy recipes that any idiot can make.

Product Information

It’s all very well talking about artisanal cheese but the industrialisation of food production fed everybody and stopped people dying of scurvy.

May says in the recipe the coat will make a “mess,” and he wasn’t kidding, but once they were fried, they looked like something out of a swanky retro Tiki bar and grill. My fears on egg poaching were presented in such hilarious fashion on the pages, that's I realized it was all ok. Lo stesso vale per questo libro di ricette facili facili ma non per questo meno gustose, che è l'accompagnamento perfetto per il suo show di cucina: "Oh Cook! It didn’t take long to realise that this was an extended piss-take of Jamie, Nigella, Nigel, Delia et al, and quite a good one at that.After years of shirking from his culinary duties, James is on a mission to educate himself about the world of food. Adoro James May dai tempi di Top Gear e lo apprezzo ancora di più quando si occupa di cose che non sono automobili, perché ha un approccio sempre molto concreto e "umano".

If, like James May, the sight of the kitchen strikes fear into your very heart and you can’t identify a spatula from a fish slice – this is the book for you. I used to occasionally watch a cooking programme and think, 'Oh Gordon, stop being such a big diva, standing around swearing'. Also with all the cooking I've ever done, I was too nervous to make a true omelette or poach an egg!Now that James May has embarked on his new cooking adventure, it was only a matter of time before he tried out some strange kitchen gadgets! Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. The idea of a bothy is that you can take what’s inside but you leave something behind for the next explorers. We all want our families (and ourselves) to eat healthy and fresh, but sometimes we just need to feed everyone in a pinch.

Five years ago people were saying 'oh, we can't have another cooking show, that's been exhausted' but it turns out it hasn't, because even I can do one.This is not a fantasy recipe book for food fetishists, full of soft-focus pictures of improbable art food. It is like taking that perfect family photo, where the predecessors all have us looking in opposite directions or trying to get the dog to turn around.

Easy Recipes Any Idiot Can Make, arrived as a post-Christmas gift, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share my enthusiasm for it.

Having smashed avocado and samphire is a privilege bought on millions of cans of luncheon meat and Princes ham. In fact, the great thing about cooking is that it’s accessible — more so than driving supercars or collecting art. It used to be a camping food staple and we used to do camping a lot when I was a child, so it's partly sentimentality, plus Spam is a funny word.
