James May: Oh Cook!

2020–2023 · 2 seasons

A gentle, self-deprecating amble through a kitchen where the cooking is deliberately amateurish and the charm comes from the host's dry wit.

Overview
James May is not a chef. But that’s the whole point: you don’t need to be a brilliant cook to make delicious food. Transporting us to the Far East, the Med, and the local pub – all from the comfort of a home economist’s kitchen – he’ll knock up delicious recipes that you can actually make yourself, with ingredients you can actually buy. And all without the usual television cooking format trickery.
