Pinch of Nom Quick & Easy and Oh Cook! 2 Books Collection Set

Product Information

The series ties in with a cookery book he is bringing out (or vice versa – I don’t know), which is referenced so often that the joke quickly loses whatever lustre it initially had. Most of the recipes are not practical for day-to-day unless you have nothing better to do then cook all day. May cooks Asian fusion, pub food, pasta, curry, desserts (pudding), breakfast, and a roast dinner with the help of a professional chef, Nikki Morgan.

parallels that of May’s other recent solo effort, Our Man in Japan, in the sense that the crew is quite literally in the shot much of the time. The remaining gimmick, of having home economist and proper cook Nikki Morgan being kept in a cupboard, brought out to help him with tricky bits, leans hard towards the latter. There was a great deal of quiet regarding major content from the Top Gear/Grand Tour trio throughout the pandemic, as the shutdowns delayed the release of their most recent special, A Massive Hunt, for months.May’s kitchen shtick continues to be a mix of everyman bafflement and mild curiosity about more refined culinary techniques, only with a minor twist - May is now edging away from banter in the direction of practical advice, albeit offered without any real confidence. I have a passing familiarity with the series with which this book is associated which is moderately entertaining (less so than some of his others such as Toy Stories or The Reassembler) I think I like the book better and was surprised to find it mouthwatering and useful, although less discursive on the scientific angle than I had anticipated. A very intelligent man with an understated sense of humour that roles out easily and a gentle charisma rooted in his passion and wonder.

Oh Cook!: The cookbook from James May with simple, easy

He also met a challenge of manfully downing various repulsive delicacies— bull genitalia and rotten shark—while Ramsey wound up with his head in a bucket (“I’m disappointed in you, Ramsey,” May said serenely over the retching. I think the most exciting ones to do are things like the stir-fries things that happen quite quickly where timing is of the essence," he said.As the series was filmed in the waning days before COVID-19 shutdown, seeing the crew crowd together over their plates without masks is a poignant reminder of what we’ve lost, and what we hope to see again—even the uncomfortable moments. Adoro James May dai tempi di Top Gear e lo apprezzo ancora di più quando si occupa di cose che non sono automobili, perché ha un approccio sempre molto concreto e "umano". James starts his culinary journey by taking on the food of Asia; as the publishers of his recipe book are in attendance, he immediately starts with a glass of wine; the first dish of the day is a Thai noodle soup, a staple of Southeast Asian cuisine.
