I have not enjoyed MK so much as this week with Amanda, she has lifted the whole programme and she and Matt make a great team. More of her please!

Thanks Rosti - very amusing, but I have added them to my favourites.

Where Rosti?

Just thought I would post this as I made this last week and it split. I e-mailed Mike at The Pot Kiln and asked what went wrong, and he replied and said the recipe should have said double cream not single. Just in case anyone else wants to make it. It was otherwise very tasty indeed and we still ate it.

Hi Carobqueen
Had a look on Amazon and they have that book at £19.50!
Good luck

I agree babsky - I didn't like him when he did his show about sourcing all his food from around London, and I haven't enjoyed watching him on Market Kitchen either. I also agree that Tom is the best one to watch out of all the presenters (even if he is a glutton), and yes Tana should stay at home with her kids. As for Diana Henry I wish she would go back to Ireland and stay there! I do like Mathew and Tom together though they play each other off, which is very refreshing. Mat is definitely getting easier to watch also.

Hi carobqueen
If you mean his signature dish called Tomato Chili Jam, I don't know which of his books it is in but I have a book called "The Cook's Book" by Ted Smart which is marked at £30 but I am sure you can get it cheaper. Its a fantastic book with lots of recipes and different techniques for preparing and cooking. It is in there as I have made it and its fab. Hope that helps. Chrissie

Hi Tilly
I found the Nigella recipe on her website, it is called Keralan fish curry with lemon rice.

Hi Tilly
There are a lot of fish currys in the recipes section of this site, but a nice one I saw was on Nigella's programme so you may be able to find that one, I think it was with coconut milk.

I would rather have Mat any day. TPB is just a glutton. Watching him stuffing himself is just not on. You would have thought he would have been brought up with more manners than he has shown, especially today (Tuesday). At least Mat eats with manners!!!

Hi Posset - sorry for not getting back sooner but I think I have got it. Here's my link hope it works [link]

I think it serves him right for what he did to Kim. She certainly did the right thing waiting for him to be in Aus and then closing the business down, I would have done exactly the same. Good on her.

Great one gastro - thinking the same thing myself. He's cute tho!!

Posset - I am not very computer minded, but have often wondered how you do that [link] thing. Can you explain please.

I completely agree Grisinni - if she is I for one won't be watching it. She is the most irritating person.

I agree with you both. It is a good programme WITHOUT TANA AND DIANA HENRY. The rest of the presenters are great esp Matthew, Tom and Matt. Must be a girl thing!!!

Oh rrab I wish we could, but I don't think them up there will ever listen. I really do miss watching her midday, its like there is a massive void. I really loathe MK especially when dear Tana is on there. She is so annoying.

Please bring back Jeni and GFL Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

THAT link is absolutely fab. When I get fed up watching telly I click on the link and play a video - cheers me up no end!!!

Thanks for the link GFL and yes isn't it great just to see and hear her. I will be using that link in future. Thanks again.

I have just had a Jeni hit - I watched the video clip of James Martin's tea smoked chicken and it is a clip from GFL. Ahhhhhh those were the days!!!

Oysterman - I wouldn't look toooo forward to seeing Food Poker - its absolutely rubbish and the presenter is awful, knows nothing about food and shouldn't have the final say when its a draw. This is another ill-thought-out food programme and should be shot just like MK.

Nora - I don't know how you can ask that question. Rhodes is the most annoying, picky little person. He treats everyone around him with disdain. He was bad enough in India and now he is doing it again here. Please please get rid of him for good. I can't bear to watch this awful programme.

Hi Cornetto - thanks for the nice message. No have moved from Surrey to Hampshire, Alton to be precise, out into the country a bit more. The move was great, did it over 2 days and they did all the packing. It was so easy, and touch wood we haven't found a thing broken YET as we are still unpacking after 2 months. But it is very nice here and the neighbours are all very friendly. But I must get back into the habit of coming onto the website I have missed it. Thanks again.

I haven't posted since about June because I had been packing and moving house, etc. - what a nightmare that's been. But I thought I would now just have a look to see if opinions had changed about MK and it looks as if they haven't. I have been watching it at lunchtimes and I must admit I like Mathew and Tom together. However Tana and Diana are a tragedy. I have never liked Tana as she puts on airs and graces she need not and her mannerisms are awful. What has happened to Matt. He was great, but not with Tana. The powers that be are still not listening are they. Wish they would!

Hi Tattoed bev - yes Nigella was much better than boring Rhodes. But don't you think the programme organisers could do much better for the weekend viewing?
