First Day of Summer Favorites: Jamie at Home


























If you have FoodNetwork and half an hour on Saturday mornings, do yourself a favor and watch Jamie Oliver's new show: Jamie at Home. Set in his own charmingly English cottage, Jamie gardens, cooks, bakes and generally makes his life look irresistably delicious. From turning home-grown peas and broadbeans into deep-fried Middle Eastern fritters in his garden shed, to seriously authentic Italian pizza baked in his outdoor oven he takes organic, local and fresh to astronomical new heights. Rhubarb, mushrooms, pumpkins, onions and asparagus get intriguingly rustic and flavorful treatments--simply presented, letting each ingredient sing. And all while using adorably lisped phrases, like "before you know it, Bob's your uncle".
Seriously. Watch one--get inspired.

I have very vivid fantasies about that man lisping sweet culinary nothings in my ear. Sooooo delicious in every way.

My only question is what color are his wellies?...and perhaps what size?

Congrats on joining the blogosphere!
