Saturday Kitchen

Saturday Kitchen is a weekly show that funnily enough is screened on a Saturday! A Saturday morning to be exact and is a 90 minutes live show on BBC1 devoted to the zeitgeist art of cooking. The show is one of my regular favourites ideal when your in bed on a Saturday morning and still unwilling to get up to face the day (I completely understand that those of you with children do not enjoy this luxury!). Apparently I am not alone in liking the show with a record 2.1 million viewers suggesting it's a stable Saturday favourite. The show begins at 10am and is hosted by James Martin, a chef in his own right and a popular face from Ready Steady cook, his relaxed ...  Read the complete review

I've just finished watching this, and I have to say I quite enjoy it, but only get to watch it every fortnight. The show is fronted by James Martin, and is a mixture of 'live' cooking and clips from other cooking shows. For example today's show had a clip from Two Fat Ladies and The Great British Menu. They generally have a section for wine selections as well. Whilst I like the programme I do wish they'd do more food that paupers like myself could afford. Some of the recipes they come out with are just over the top, take today's recipe "Sea bream baked in a salt crust with roasted fennel and grapefruit", of all that lot, the only thing ...  Read the complete review

I do really like this program! Being one who can't cook (not entirely true) as opposed to won't cook. I kind of make up for it by watching a load of cookery programmes. I figure if I watch the programmes, some of the magic from these chefs fingertips will somehow merge into my brain and soak up the very spirit of their expertise. Or maybe I should just get into the kitchen and actually play and experiment more - except food is so blooming expensive now that I can't afford to just go and play with it. Saturday Kitchen is, by and large, a live cookery show, on the BBC on (you guessed it) Saturday mornings. In this show the host ...  Read the complete review

Tv has made great changes in the UK over the last ten years, Saturday mornings used to be given over to kids with Live and Kicking or Ant and Dec on CDUK being the big draws, then something changed, we became a nation of foodies, we began using the weekend to create and make food, to find a hobby that benefited ourselves and our family. Thus Saturday Kitchen was born a programme set in a kitchen, the format is that the presenter is chef James Martin, he has two chefs as guests these vary every week and can range from the mighty Marcus Wareing to an up and coming chef who we haven't yet heard of but is well known in the trade. There is also a celebrity guest ...  Read the complete review

Saturday Kitchen is a cookery based live show, on Saturday mornings on BBC one. It is presented by chef James Martin, who does a pretty good job, he manages to juggle live cookery and interview celebrity guests and keep us all informed with whats going on. Other guests are a couple of other celebrity chefs - this changes every week, who will demonstrate some dishes throughout the course of the programme and a couple of members of the public who will comment on the delicious dishes that have been prepared. A wide range of dishes are produced and always look so quick and easy to prepare although a lot of the leg work is obviously done beforehand. The ...  Read the complete review
