I think this series only started on Monday.Combination of a travel programme re :The Lake District and a cookery programme using local ingredients.Chef Peter Sidwell,is great to watch..nothing airy fairy,everything looks like good simple homecooking.I like the way he explains everything he is doing too.
..I watched episode 2 yesterday(channel 4. 2.20pm)...was amazed to see a chef using a slow cooker for a lovely braised beef...in fact he didnt just use the slow cooker,he recommended it. :j
Today ive watched episode 1 on 4D on demand ..He made homemade sausage rolls(with fennel marmalade),rossini soup and his take on calzone pizza thingys.
Heres the link if anyone wants to watch(unfortunately it runs a couple of adverts first before the actual programme starts,but bare with it..its worth it;))

It's a first time I've seen a chef uses SC. But then again, I'm not surprised if Lakeland is sponsoring the programme. The programme is even called "Lake ....." mnnn are they hypnotising us so that we'd rush to Lakeland website

Yeh,you might be right HannahO....I think the wee gadget thing he uses for the calzone pizza is a lakeland product too...not that im bothered,I love Lakeland.;).ive been working tonight ,so im gonna watch todays episode on 4D.

I think he used a baking genius tray for his sausage rolls too.

Thanks for the link, I've just sat and watched all 3 episodes, definately going to have a go at the sausage rolls. Wonder what they'll be like with apple sauce instead of fennel chutney?

Thanks for this - I'll definitely be catching up on this

He's going to be making chocolate and orange shortbread today...not sure what else,but we still have homemade fishfingers,meatballs and pasta,and quite a few other recipes to look forward to..im gonna search out his cookbooks....i realy like his laid back style of cooking...crikey...he didnt even use scales for bread...thats impressive,love his demo on how to knead dough too,very informative for me....im definately gonna try the slow cooker beef,the sausage rolls and the baked filled sanwiches..they will be so handy for packed lunches..brilliant idea.
wish i wasnt working today...im gonna have to watch it on 4D tonight again(altho,that means i can fastforward the touristy bits .:o)..
wonder how many weeks its running for?,didnt find anything on the website,just something about week 1...which to me implied there would be more weeks to follow...i hope so.

Ive just discovered its running for 20 episodes,and it is repeated at 09.30 the following morning on channel 4.

"The series will be aired Monday to Friday at 2.20pm but don’t worry if you miss an episode, as it will be repeated at 9.30 the following morning (except Friday's show which will be the following Monday"

So since its just finished,then it should be repeated again at 10.30 this morning on 4 +1.
Also all the recipes are also availabe here..on Lakeland site.(surprise surprise;))

I love making calzone and loved the mini calzone idea which I never thought of before. I love Lakeland too. The staff are always caring and kind, quite rare these days.

I think i was wrong about the mini calzone cutter being a Lakeland item,ive just noticed that on the lakeland site where they have all the recipes there also a list of all the lakeland items he has used for each one,but the calzone/pastry cutter isnt there...wonder where i would get something like that??
im on a day off today so will get to see todays episode at 2.20(i watched yesterdays this morning at 09.30...not anything on that episode i would make)...Not sure,but i think today may be homemade fish fingers(using salmon),looking forward to it.
