Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have been really enjoying this series, & wondered if anyone else had been watching it? I love Nigel - he just seems so normal,so into his food & his vegetable garden isn't a wonderful showpiece,but a proper veg patch I think he is very underrated & he is certainly one of my most favourite chefs on TV & in print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 hmmmm, sort of undecided on this prog. I find it irritating that he keeps referring to, what is clearly the main evening meal (which most people call 'dinner'), as supper!? Supper to me is a cup of tea and a biccie I'm the sort of cook who throws things together anyway so I wasn't getting a great deal from the prog other than admiring his garden. when you say his veg garden isn't a show piece, I just kept thinking how expensive those wicker cloches are, he had loads of them!!! His garden is definitely what I'd call a show garden! I'm loving the hairy bikers tour of britain and jamie's american tour at the moment. i loved the idea of the secret supper (sorry dinner!) clubs and the illegal restaurants in jamie's prog last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Jamie has been fab,hasn't he,but I am afraid that the Hairy Bikers have got a bit annoying for me. Love Nigel though, & still think his garden is more normal than some (although Hughs is by far the best! ) I just love his way of doing things, it seems so effortless. Must be a southern thing, we call it supper too........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Supper here too, dinner is a more formal evening affair. Not seen the programme, but a friend raves about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I find him a bit patronising, and he has no idea about how hard it can be to fit the rigours of family life and cooking together, and how much oil does that man use, he should be the size of a house.

ClaireG Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've been enjoying it as has DH who isn't usually that keen on cooking shows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 i loved the idea of the secret supper (sorry dinner!) clubs and the illegal restaurants in jamie's prog last week I wonder if Jamie would be as excited about illegal restaurants if he had one on the doorstep of any of his restaurants?

Egluntyne Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've been enjoying the Nigel Slater series. His food is all achievable. Jamie's series has disappointed me somehow. The food looks weird and the settings grubby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missuscluck Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I like Nigel Slater and love his vegi patch but not sure about the recipes with a hungry family to feed. I dont think some of them would fill my sons little finger. However has anyone read any of his books. I loved 'Toast, the story of a boys hunger'. Its the story of his childhood through memories of food. I thought it was a really good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yes, its a wonderful book, & is a real insight into the man,who he is & how food shaped his life - recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
