Couldn't find a thread. Anyone been watching?
Has the same look/feel as his Ultimate Cookery Course. Just catching up with the first episode from yesterday and he's showing recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not sure if every episode is set up in the same way. I'm liking it so far. Not sure if I'll actually make any of the recipes though!

Gordon is a great cookery presenter and it's a relief not to have him doing his cartoonish 'angry-man' act for a change (which I get the impression is often put on in other shows as that's what the viewers expect of him).
I was lucky to catch it because when I saw it on at midday I thought it must have been a repeat.
I looked it up to make sure and realised it was a new show.
Strange scheduling as Jamie's show has just finished on Monday night's at 8pm followed be Tom Kerridge on BBC2.
I think the family involvement works really well - he explains the cooking techniques very clearly for whichever of his children is helping out and the whole thing feels very natural and unrehearsed.
Ha ha! Brilliant sketch. Mitchell would completely justified in doing so as the French actually call it 'un express', not 'un expresso'.
I found some of the dialogue slightly, I dunno, strange? He pulled out a roast pork from the oven, his daughter said, 'Dad, that looks amazing!' and he replied, 'yeah, absolutely spectacular'. Uhh, it's just a roast. I mean the guy's a top chef, I'm sure his food is delicious, I guess I just don't find his family that intersting. If I want engaging dialogue I'd rather watch the Hairy Bikers.
Aye Gordon, no one gives a shit about a pronunciation flourish.
Obviously he's not going to say the food is crap but I got very fed up with him saying his food is delicious all the time. Most TV chefs use someone else to taste the food and get them to say how good it is. He might just as well stand there and say "this TV show is great, because I made it".
As for his cheating with pre-cooked or pre-prepared ingredients, that was the last straw. You watch these shows to see how things are prepared properly. The lobster was ready cooked and he used instant polenta. Imagine if he'd used instant mash?
