Jamie's filming a new series.

According to his Twitter feed, filming has started on Save With Jamie, tasty money saving meals.

Should be interesting.

One of the episodes in a previous series comes to mind: he was demonstrating how to cook some salmon fillets and the woman cried because "she couldn't afford expensive salmon" to feed her family. While standing in her luxury kitchen and smoking a fag which cost over SEVEN QUID a pack!

Some people need slapping. And other people need to stop getting so judgmental about people they don't know or care about.....

Excellent - let's see how many ideas for meals under a tenner for 4 which cost he can produce! :rotfl:

Or, maybe he will show people how to use one of the increasingly rare cheaper cuts therefore pushing the price up further

I'm (half) joking. I love cookery programmes and Jamie is one of my favourites but it's annoying that we have no real cheap cuts anymore since celebrity chefs started using them!

Actually, I will watch it and enjoy it

Prediction:

Each meal uses £5 of ingredients....and £5 worth of olive oil

All the cheffy weffies seem to be jumping on the frugal bandwagon, I wonder how many spices and different oils not to mention exotic things that you have to have in your pantry before you start buying the rest of the food for the meal? I bet he won't shop in Aldi either

I hate his recipes.. but I don't like chillis or salmon or olive oil or most of the rest of the food he wants us to spend a fortune on.

Apparently I'm pickier than a 3 y/o lol

It would be much better if they invaded your kitchen and used what people had in and actually buy! That would be much more useful ad achievable than expecting people to change the things they buy.. unless of course their cupboards are full of crap.

I'd quite like something more interesting for my pork steaks please!

Lol, would be a short episode if they came to our place...we have *nothing* in, ever.

Each week we buy bread, eggs, milk, cereal and whatever we're having for dinner each week, but that's it.

Occasionally we'll get a couple of cans of soup, but not often...And our freezer's empty to all intents and purposes. One of my friends always gets freaked out when he comes, because there's nothing to "just have" if he gets peckish...There's normally stuff to bake a cake, but I think that's expecting a little much of a guest

I simply don't get this chili business. Every recipe I've ever come across that has more than half a chili in has been so searingly mouth-burning I can't eat it - and neither can anyone I know. If a recipe calls for two, I put a mean and stingy half in without the seeds, or a tiny pinch of chili flakes, and they're fine. What are the TV chefs on (particularly Delia and Jamie) that constantly shove in two whole fresh ones and then say two would '... give it a bit of a kick.'

Ill watch it in the hope of learning how to use my store cupboard staples to flavour, how to use cheaper cuts of meat more successfully and watch wishing it was HFW in his kitchen garden instead.

Ill give it a go but he tends to use a multitude of ingredients in his meals I don't see how I can swap my mince, onion, carrots slow cooked in gravy with dumplings for anything cheaper. One persons 'save' is another persons 'splurge' dontcha think?

Just swap the mince for lentils. See, saving you money already
