- James May is not a chef. But that's the whole point: you don't need to be a gastronomic wizard to make delicious food. This series sees him grow from kitchen klutz to capable cook as he takes on hearty classics and the world's most mouth-watering dishes. James will demonstrate that, with a few simple recipes under your belt, you can eat well and impress your friends and family. And with a little confidence you can tackle truly impressive, mouth watering recipes all using ingredients you can find down at your local supermarket.
Helping James on his journey of enlightenment is the wonderful Nikki, his home economist and culinary minder. Based in her homely kitchen, this series is unlike any other cookery show. Everything is shown for real: burns, scrapes and the occasional cooking disaster rub shoulders with sumptuous and beautifully presented meals. Despite the setbacks, James will show you how to achieve triumphant results even if the Michelin star has got lost in the post. Expect to be transported on a world wide trip of culinary wonders. There'll be experimental kitchen gadgetry, musings on everything from aluminium smelting processes, famous battles, and bad musical hits of the 1970s not to mention the 'helpful' input of the filming crew. Visiting publishers and unwary TV execs will get roped in to help as James explores the wonders and the pitfalls of the wonderful world of cooking.
So join James, with his small glass of excellent vino as he invites you to simply 'Oh Cook!'
