Best British TV Cooking Shows

To be honest Skip, I am completly bored with celeb chefs now, they have been on the screens for too long, they are all doing the same theme slightly different, and now telling us what we should eat and how, sorry to me they have become the food politicians and I hate politicians, the only person I would now watch and this is a closely gaurded secret is a chap called James Martin, non ponsy typical yorkie, and thats why its a secret, me wife is from yorkshire and I am from and live in Lancashire. How she would enjoy knowing that I respect something from yorkshire.

I personally don't care for Barefoot Contessa's recipes - rather strange some of them. My favourite is a Canadian production you probably won't see called French Food at Home, which features all the light and very tasty french recipes made very easily. It's probably the only cooking show I watch these days other than Rick Stein's French Odyssey when it occasionally comes on. Mostly I love the scenery and area specialities rather than his recipe.
