    Yukkibear I downloaded some Jamie Oliver podcasts to my ipod the other day for free, videos are much more useful to me then a book as I am useless at cooking!! Need all the help I can get! :o xx


    I didn;t know you could do that. I am planning on getting myself a Nintendo DS soon and will get cooking guide with it so hoping to use that too. Just need to raise the money first.
