Jamie at one of his many, many homes

Posted by Chewy on Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Jamie Oliver’s new cooking show is awesome.

It’s odd they named it “at home” considering all his other shows were filmed at his main home in London. This show takes place at his fancy country home where the fucker grows copious amounts of his own amazing, beautiful produce. Also, this home has like three or four kitchens. One of them being outside. With a wood burning oven. Fucker.

Every episode is seasonal, so you won’t see him making anything with, say, tomatoes right now. Using only seasonal produce also means that the shit he uses is not only readily available, but dirt cheap. Things like raddichio, carrots, beets, fennel and squashes. The only expensive thing you will have to purchase is super good quality extra virgin olive oil, as he drizzles it over everything.

Jamie At Home is on the Food Network. Only on Saturdays at 9:30am. Get a DVR as I think this is one of the very few cooking shows worth watching.

The US version of the accompanying cookbook won’t be available until October ($25), but already out in the UK, which you can order it through UK Amazon ($36 with shipping). Some of the dishes on the show I’ve found in his Cook with Jamie book.

I hope in his next series he raises, slaughters and butchers all sorts of livestock.

Oh, these? Yeah, I grow my own potatoes. What, you don’t?

  1. Ok, I think I met my cyber BFF thru this website. I’ve cursed Oliver w/ fucker every single time I watch that new show. My husband HATES him because I know he’s secretly jealous of that house, the garden and the wood burning stove. Plus he’s a Brit and think Jamie is annoying and has a lisp (again, I think he’s just jealous). BUT, it’s not fair for the majority of us living in crappy apartments in NYC paying way too much money and watching this fucker pulling radishes out in his massive, rustic backyard!! GRRRR… love the blog!! I’ll definitely be back.
