Big Grin as i said to my wife, told you so!!!!!!!!!! i am not normally of such strong opinions but i said even before jen was taken from our screens that this was a big mistake but i didnt think it would be such a catastrophe. tpb has no cooking skills whatsoever, Tana is a good cookery writer but i think one day she will take her fingers off as she has no knife skills whatsoever, mathew fort is so well respected that if he doesnt bail out asap he will become a laughing stock to every other respected chef and critic, he will be judged by his lack of judgement and a fine critic will be resigned to the waste disposal. it may not have been intentional but gfl attracted the ordinary foodie to the programme and jen was sympathetic to her loyal audience. that is not say the ordinary joe bloggs is not someone to put down, joe bloggs is the majority in this country . this programme appears to aimed at the camillas of this world which is fine but not on peak viewing tv when normal families living in normal houses/flats etc are looking for entertainment.
I am asking myself why popular chefs like james martin. rick stein, and god forbid my hero kieth floyd, whom without, unfortunately dross like this would have not been possible to broadcast. floydy deseves better than this. that is not to say that i have no respect for the michelin chefs appearing on the programe, and i use the word programe with caution. i had been considering cancelling my sky subscription in favour of freeview but was told that uk food was not available, so for the time being i will keep sky. if uk food continues with dross like this i will most certainly cancel my sky subsciption. I wonder if my comments will be made available to sky without them having to log into this website. i dont think so
I think gordon ramsey must but be cringing in his kitchen i suppose he is grateful that when this program is broadcast, he is doing what he does best, cooking, a pity his wife doesnt stick to what she does best, cooking. all i can think is that borough market must have paid a fortune for the advertising and with thier backing we will be stuck with this tripe until the next century.
