Saturday Kitchen

Only saw bits, but I thought it was a bit chaotic.

I missed today's- I no longer go out of my way to watch it as I no longer enjoy it. I think as viewers vanish so will it.

It was a bit of a shambles this morning. I agree kitty that Donal was very good. It's Glyn Purnell (the yummy Brummie) - a local boy - next week. Let's see how he gets on. Come back James!

I've never watched it

Thought Gennaro and Antonio would be pretty chaotic. At least they had Jamie holding it together. I think Donal is the best by a long way - do miss James though.

I also think Donal Skehan has been the best guest presenter so far.

We switched off this morning. I can't stand Gennaro Contaldo who seems to think his double act with Jamie Oliver is highly amusing......It isn't!

Saturday Kitchen has always been the background to our Saturday mornings, especially during the winter when there's no need to get going until it's nearly time to think about lunch

We miss James Martin

Me too, Saturday Kitchen and Sunday Brunch, a lovely set up to the rest of the days of the weekend. Sadly James can't keep doing it or he would be like Ken Barlow, never doing anything else with his life.

Interesting that all the comments are about personalities, rather than the food actually produced. Isn't this programme really just a jokey get-together for blokey guys, most of whom can't cook and can't present?

I often print off recipes from the show but, as I don't sit down and watch it but have it on in background, it needs to be pleasant to watch out of the corner my eye. Thus week's was particularly awful.

I look forward to the yummy brummy but I find him a but frenetic too.

James Martin was such an easy watch

My DH said to me once about James Martin 'you've got a thing about him' He got no argument from me Yes not sure the yummy Brummie will cope - we'll see.

I have only watched it once since James Martin left and it was just not the same - really miss him.

I think it's more about the personalities than the food because lately they all seem to cook vastly over complicated restaurant food with dozens of ingredients using every pan in the kitchen. No body's actually going to try any of it. I used to watch it to see James and see what wines they were buying.
