Have to agree with you about Jamie tho. There isn't a chef on our
teles who can hold a candle to him.

Maybe it's cause he's so confident in what he's doing...???

Why does he fry everything in oil??

That's how most food is cooked.

Try grilling meat and chicken instead of frying it in olive oil - you'll
actually taste it.


Haven't the poms heard of grilling
meat?! And I'm sure I saw him drizzle the olive oil on a dessert once.

As one does.

Sure, a drizzle of olive oil on a chocolate moose is soooo yummy!!

I didn't mind watching the first week of his show, but then I found I
just
got sick of watching food being cooked. There are too many cooking shows
on
telly and it's giving me mental indegestion!

Hint: He became famous *because* patrons at the restaurants at which

anything to say about where they had been.

I'm talking about Cricketers Pub in Essex, Antonio Caluccio's "Neal

It's well documented that the English have ordinary culinary tastes, so
what they like eating doesn't necessarily mean it's good. The favourite
English breakfast is kippers and black pudding....nuff said!

Pretentious? He's as down to earth as any chef I've seen.

Somehow my newsreader missed the beginning of this thread. I gather
Jamie Oliver has a new cooking series in the UK(?). I *adore* him. His
enthusiasm isn't for an audience (a la Emeril), but for food prep,
although he certainly appears to enjoy cooking for friends. It *would*
be interesting if he could do one show without olive oil, but c'est la
Italian training. :-) I also wish I had access to the London food
shops he visits -- bunches of fresh herbs, worlds of cheese, every
kind of meat carefully cut by visible butchers -- who *wouldn't* want
to cook in that situation (and with that budget)?

I've read that Fifteen is overpriced and not of top quality, but Jamie
appears to *really* be interested in showing people that good,
home-cooked food is within the grasp of anyone. He's mentioned wanting
to get kids to cook (a prevailing attitude of rfc), and encouraged old
people to make tasty meals. He's even compared the price and time
involved in 'prepared' foods with 'real' alternatives. Makes it seem
easy. The recipes I've tried have come out pretty much as advertised,
and not hard to do.

He's a lisping little fag who couldn¹t cook his way out of a wet paper bag.
His idea of spicy, a little black pepper.

I want to throw a brick through my television every time a commercial for
his show comes on.

From: Craig Welch

Two sentences, two errors. About par for the course for you.

I was wondering about this "thread" myself, as I never saw the original post.
Thanks for clearing things up.

I do find Mr. Wolf's assumption that Jamie only uses black pepper for spicy. We
have watched countless Oliver shows and his spicing is some of the most
exciting I've seen on any cooking show. He regularly toasts spices and grinds
them for many dishes. His use of fresh herbs is noteable. I'm enamoured of his
knife skills and use of fresh ingredients. Jamie is my hero!

Two facts Craig can't deal with. "Denile" is not just the name of a river in
Africa.

The crap he cooks, along with his countryman is some of the most boring and
bland on the planet. OOOOOOOOOOOh lookie here he put some black pepper on
his steak.

In Mexico they haven't figured out how to flush a toilet yet, but they put
some pizzazz in their cooking. Lispie big lips should go to Cabo and study
with Chef Pedro.

Yet you don't. How long have you had this cowardice, that you don't
follow through on your plans?

T.V.'s are expensive I just switch channels with the remote.

As another poster has just pointed out to you, Oliver uses chillies
to an extreme, and is a prodigious ... oh, I forgot whom I'm talking
to ... he's a *big* user of a great variety of herbs and spices.

Jamie's "great variety of spices" McCormick's ground black pepper and
McCormick's ground black pepper.

He's a bigger **** than Martha Stewart! I hate the little ****. He's a
chicken shit Austin Powers impersonator.

I've love to run over the little **** and his scooter in my American SUV!

Hmm, I thought he got famous because he is a bloody good chef, with a flair
for food and the passion to present it to a TV audience, I have got some
great ideas from Jamie Oliver and consider him to be one of the better chefs
on TV.
