    I actually watched a whole one of his programmes last night and I have to say those meringues he made with cinnamon and raspberries had me almost dribbling!!!

    Unfortunately though, even though his ingredients are all very "normal", it still makes me want to go out and shop as he has so many lovely pots & pans, kitchen implements and china to eat it all from :rotfl:

    Since reading Jamie's 30 min meals I have bought some old (but lovely) crockery in charity shops. When I can, I now put the food out on nice platters and in bowls and we sit round the table and help ourselves. Same food, but gives mealtimes a sense of occasion rather than just dishing up on plates - the kids say "its like eating in restaurant" :)

    How was the chicken pie hilstep ? I thought it looked wonderful, but I've been caught like thta before - I watched jaimie make a turkey and leek one (lots of pans to wash and took me ages) and it was horrible - would really like it if Nigel's was good !

    using up-market ingredients like jarred peppers,not very MSE....

    I beg to differ - roasted peppers 99p a jar in the 99p store - you get about 8 peppers - cheaper than fresh and don't go off

    Yup. guaranteed more lick-the-tv moments than any other cookery programme :D.

    Thank goodness he didn't add a dollop of clotted cream, I'd have been over the edge :rotfl:.

    That chicken pie looked wonderful .... eagerly awaiting Hilstep's verdict.

    I do so like that he's open to people using things like shop bought pastry etc (when so many others frown on it / say you have to make your own) - I know HM is probably best / cheaper but I just can't do pastry!

    If it's good - do you think it would freeze?

    :beer: These are fantastic value, and liven up any salad, tapas, or you can put them on a baguette sliced in half, grate cheese over and then place in an oven for ten minutes or put under a grill.

    Think I could do that too...most of what he does seems easy what I have to watch the cost regarding the energy used to cook meals where the oven is on for a long time.
