apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Loved Jaime at Home. As soon as it was over all I wanted to do was yell "finally, thank you!!" These are the kind of programs that the Food Network should be airing. It made me long for the days of Molto Mario, programs that had real content.

The show was artfully shot and the recipes seemed very approachable. Especially, the stove top smoked salmon. Jaime's charisma certainly didn't hurt either. Can't wait for future episodes.

IMHO I thought he moved through the recipes kind of fast. I know that isn't the popular opinion but now a-days with so many 'you can make this at home to' shows on I would rather watch a techniques heavy show. I have a million uncooked recipes what I need is some 'how-to'.

As I mentioned at another 'Jamie' site, I just haven't caught Jamie fever. Sorry.

I caught the re-run of the Iron Chef battle but only lasted as long as the first segment of Jamie's new show before I passed out from exhaustion.

I really enjoy cooking programs like this that have scenes shot outside of the studio. I liked when he was chopping the chilies and tossing the scraps behind him on the ground. It's almost as if he was making a statement by goofing off. I think that's a refreshing quality.

Watching him search for peppers in a hothouse was also very interesting. I would love to see growing places like this popping up all over the country. Imagine getting to pick your own living vegetables for your dinner! Sure sounds better than buying dying ones at the grocery store doesn't it?

I'm confused, does the chairman vote on the food too? It's not like I really care, just curious.

i loved it, especially the upclose and personal shots of all the food.

I just got cable last week and watched Iron Chef and Jamie's show. I have to say, got a little crush on Jamie...
Regardless of that, I did like his show a lot - his recipes seemed incredibly easy and tasty and loved the atmosphere.

Yeah, I was very happy with the show (at least the first episode). Interesting that the Food Network isn't giving all the recipes from the episode on their site (didn't have the first recipe).

I've set my DVR to "do not erase."

ha ha! i dvr'd jamie's show too. so excited he's back on tv.

anyone ever tried steaming rice the way he showed on the peppers episode? totally intrigued.

I just rewatched the first episode and am planning on making the stuffed peppers recipe and either his pork or Bittman's one this weekend.

I'm thinking 350-375 on the peppers (he doesn't state it).

Alexia, I'm going to try to make the rice if I use his pork recipe.

Anybody have his recipe for the pepper oil? I think he originally did it on the Naked Chef.

I thought that Jamie's show was definitely a refreshing change for the Food Network. He seems more genuine, less scripted than most of the other hosts.
I've never really been a huge fan of sweet peppers as they are, but the pork roast with peppers literally made me drool. I'm looking forward to seeing him use other ingredients.

P.S. to Art - I'm quite sure that the Chairman does not have a vote on IC.

I've always been a big fan of brit "cookery program" hosts and hostesses - Jamie, Nigella, Rick Stein, who had a wonderful program on BBC America about sourcing local, organic products throughout the British Isles. If you can ever catch Rick Stein or compadres on PBS or BBC - they're the best!
