Customer Reviews

BRILLIANT.
Jamie at home is probably one of the best tv cookery programmes ever produced. It is basic cooking at its very best. Plain, simple home cooking - no fancy gadgets, or expensive pretentious ingredients - cooking for all times and anyone - whatever level of experience you have at cooking. Five stars is not enough for these series or the book which accompanies them. Over all the series he covers the four seasons, using seasonal fresh food with tips on how to plant and grow your own - a tomato plant in a bean tin - great stuff. As I have already said in one of my other reviews if you one buy one tv cookery series and one cookery book in your life, make it this series and the book that accompanies it - FAB STUFF.

Which Recipes?

'Down-to-Earth' Cooking at it's best!!
I thoroughly enjoy Jamie's candid style, and above all, his desire to create awesome meals from the highest quality ingredients, mostly from his own gardens. My wife and I aren't really `cooking show' fans, but we find ourselves really succumbed by Jamie's personality and atmosphere. If anyone wants to learn how to make healthy and delicious food in an agrarian way, this is my number-one recommendation. Without sounding too much like a fan-boy, I would like to see more of his farm and meet Brian, Jamie's gardener, some day. It'll probably never happen, but I believe he would be a real joy to meet and speak with. I love the way he uses raised beds for most of the vegetables grown. In other words, there is more to learn from this series than just the food being prepared. I was born and raised on a farm where we grew and raised about 98 percent of everything we ate, and I can totally relate to many of the techniques at work on his property. This series, I believe, is in a totally different class of `cooking shows' all by itself. What a treat. Love It!
Also, if you haven't noticed, I'm from the U.S., but I can still play these DVDs even though they are PAL formatted. If you would like to order his DVDs, but don't have a PAL compatible player, you can get a really good one for around 60 dollars off a certain famous Internet auction site. I bought a Pioneer DV-300 that's been configured to play any region DVD in both PAL and NTSC formats. It works beautifully! Just read the instructions on how to set up your player for both formats. It may appear that it's not going to play the disc right, but if you read the directions, it'll tell you how to use a button combination to select the right mode you need. I hope this helps someone! I love being able to play any DVD from anywhere in the world.
Jamie and Brian, if your reading this, Job Well Done!
