Market Kitchen (2007)
A delightful cook show for everyone and every taste
It is always a delight to sit back and enjoy this informative "talk and eat" cook show. It proves that the good "ol' poms" might actually be learning to cook real food.
Visitor like Charley Boorman give that show an excellent grounding and the DIY dinners by Jason Aveton are just great.
The studio audience is real, and they seem to actually be there because they want to learn something new, not just to appear on the telly. The passing audience is authentic.
The guest chefs are always interesting, they don't need patronise or swear to prove they know how to cook.
Spain... on the Road Again (2010)
Why is Gwyneth in Spain ?
Please give us Gwyneth with Gok Wan on the road, Rick Steves, Charley Boorman even Tom Parker Bowles.
Chalky would be rolling over in pet heaven if Rick Stein ever put this to air. Oh give us Jamie Oliver in his VW Combie, even Gwyneth with Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall or Gordon 'potty mouth' Ramsey, Willie Nelson or Keith Flloyd would do.
Two Mercs, some occasional scenery, the Comic Book Guy and Glenn Quagmire - a 'Green Eggs and Ham' cooking show this does not make.
Perhaps a dubbed Japanese version by Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai may improve things.
