I think he has done a lot of good with the chances he gave unemployed kids at Fifteeen, and the work he has done improving school dinners. But christ he's annoying! I saw him on that school dinners progrfamme and he was whingeing about some kid who liked plain boiled pasta 'I mean, no butter, no olive oil...' Oh yes, of course unprivileged kids in Edinburgh are going to bbe drizzling olive oil like there's no tomorrow!
my mum bought one of his cookery books and it was just full of a lot of pretentious crap. Most of the ingredients were too expensive or stuff you'd rarely have in your house. I like Delia or Gary Rhodes - nice and straightforward!
Jamie calls himself "The Naked Chef" because he reckons his recipes are straightforward and free from pretentiousness!
Yes we all grate nutmeg on our good old spag bol!
