Advantages: Great demonstrations of delicious dishes

Disadvantages: Some ingredients quite pricey

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 dishes are always presentable and they suggest a nice wine to accompany each meal.

I think perhaps some of the dishes could be a bit more seasonal and show us how to make the best of whats around at the moment. Also they could use some cheaper ingredients that people actually may cook at home as opposed to Michelin starred foods where ingredients cost an arm and a leg. It is great to see good food cooked well and demonstrates how easy things can be. Home cooked pasta is definately something I want to give a go.

Hopefully it will inspire a few to try these things at home. I find it an adult version of the good old Live and Kicking!! Relaxed Saturday morning viewing. It doesnt matter if you're not yet dressed and 11am!!

Summary: Easy viewing on a Saturday morning
