WTFiGO!?! Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I can cook and enjoy cooking so have casted my eye upon cooking programmes' especially on a Sunday morning. What utter shit they are, though. There's about 1% of it I actually learn about cooking, the rest is made up of the presenter's personality, pre-prepared (is that a double-negative?) ingredients, and self-promoting future shows. Take's the piss, really. Bring back Delia! It used to be about the cooking, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I can cook and enjoy cooking so have casted my eye upon cooking programmes' especially on a Sunday morning.

Take's the piss, really. Bring back Delia! It used to be about the cooking, man! Personally I prefer Gordon calling everyone a cucking funt in my cookery shows. Or Adam Richmond attempting to eat half a stone of food in an hour. I don't care much for the cooking bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk Of The Town Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I liked Keith Floyd and I like Rick Stein but are they cooking programmes or travel programmes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jamie Oliver was on radio 2 the other day, so I actually listened to what he had to say. Apparently its now very hard to get a cookery programme commissioned unless its some form of competition. Shame as I've learnt alot from books made from cookery shows.

WTFiGO!?! Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Missed out on Keith Floyd, shame. I don't mind old Rick because he does, at least, tie it in with travel. Travel is of interest but obviously the Monty Python chap provides what he claims to regarding that. Rick Stein is also a Cornish lad (I think) and loves his sea food. As for Jamie Oliver, you have to love his passion. Just give us the cooking though, man. Stayed watching BBC2 this morning and Pat ******* Cash was invited in to observe matters. What the ****! The bloke looked bored off his tits. Not that I really watch much of this stuff, it's akin to Top Gear in the greater scheme of things. Too much crap on TV.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted September 14, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 What you really missed out on was Keith Floyds restaurant in Bristol, he used to pick a table some nights, ask if he could eat with them and then get the best wines from his cellar, share them with that table and he would then pick up the tab. No wonder he went bust........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Slater had a BBC show which focused solely on cooking.Nigel Slater used a green grocery I have an affinity with, so I watched the series. I found him a little like a housewives favourite and he used a lot of fat. But shall look out for him again, next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Keith Floyd end of, watch the documentary leading up to his death with Keith Allen, asked what he thought about modern day chefs, he replied "they're all *****" (C U Next Tuesdays).

Rocky Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Is there anything Jamie Oliver won't put olive oil over/on/in/around/up/down - thought he was healthy? Gordon Ramsey has had his day, it was amusing to begin with, him swearing at everyone that is. GBBO is OK, apart from the two presenters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevon Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Are all these cooking programmes on Woman's Hour, and why are most of them presented by men?
