James May: Oh Cook!

This series is so funny if you are bored and want to watch something to pass time I would highly recommend this it's quite funny and definitely should be a second season.

Perhaps May was inspired to get in to foodtribe and this show after making a better fish pie than Ramsay while drunk. Anyway, I have always loved him as a presenter from toy stories and man lab. He has a knack for speaking while performing a task and makes his adventure in cooking very fun to watch. Especially because he is very passionate about it. The show is informative, it is funny, and it makes fun of traditional cooking shows by including the crew with more amusing banter. If you liked previous May shows you will like this.

Perhaps what has been the most fun is how laid back the attitude of the show is. The crew are regularly included in some way and the process of how these kinds of shows are made becomes a part of the show itself. It's taken the cooking show format and made it something fun and actually human/real (i.e no fake chemistry between hosts or attempts to hide mistakes with the cooking).

I've no idea if he made these recipes himself but his completely easy to understand way of explaining how to cook these dishes is fantastic for novices. It's also surprising that he's managed to keep a lot of these processes simple and not overly complicated, as that is his usual style.

I utterly love this show. I hope season 2 will mean a second cookbook and that we HOPEFULLY get a season 3 at some point too.

James may brings his usual charm and humour to a cookery show like no other. Funny and quirky will hope for a season 2

I like the show, because i can identify a bit with James. He is not an experienced cook, so he learns as he goes and teaches us some fundamentals at the same time. He does have the advantage of a good kitchen and professional help. But in the end he is stumbling through instructions, like most of us.

I think i learned more about cooking then any other show and I especially like him trying out dumb cooking tools, to make life as an amateur cook easier. He should do that more in the next season. Because most tools do not work, or work very briefly. A sharp knife has to date been the best advise. However, some tools do actually work and i would love to know about them.

Really hope there is going to be another season!
