Nope...give us a clue ? can you remember any details from the show ??

I found it!  Thanks for pointing this one out.  It looks delicious.  I haven't caught every episode.  I'm hoping BBC America is into re-running shows the way our Public Broadcasting Station does.  I've really enjoyed this series and I like the concept very much, even though I doubt I'll time myself, but I might.

eta:  Forgot to add the link!

BBC America is airing the show here in the U.S. right now, so they must have bought the rights to do so from the dreaded Channel 4.  We are all too aware of Channel 4 airing the shows when they first come out because we would have to pay to view.

Welcome to the forum twseahorse 

Hope it all works out ok . Which meal will you be cooking ?

The important time is to get every thing ready before you start to cook , water boiled in the kettle, oven heating, pans , knives etc that you will need all out and ready on the side, food processor if you have one pluged in and pre read the recipe instructions some time before you start to cook.

I can manage these meals in the allotted time, but I am used to cooking every day from fresh ingredients and have done so for many years , often producing meals at speed for a hungry family.
But ..Not everyone can manage these meals in the allotted time the first  time that they start to cook , my son is working through the book and finds that nt he has a food proceessor that things are faster.
The more you do these meals I think the easier they become.

Hope all goes well.

I have mixed feelings about the series, as I stated in my other thread.  There's no possible way anyone could make those dishes in a half hour.  Sure.... I could do it if I had someone to prep all the ingredients and then do all the dishes.  But otherwise, no it can't be done.

Also, I caught Jamie in a contradiction.  On Jamie at Home he advised to never use white button mushrooms because they don't taste like anything.  On the 30min meals chicken pot pie he said that white buttons have a wonderful texture and he put them in the dish.  Am I too much of a stickler?
