Taking into account the amount of food waste, it would have been cheaper, greener, healthier and far more fulfilling to send out for a ruby or buy a Sainsbury's ready version.
I have nothing but respect for Jamie and what he's trying to achieve in communicating to the public about cooking. But it's a shame that nobody seems to have bothered to work out what a completely awful experience it's going to be trying to recreate the recipes from this show at home. There isn't anything remotely difficult about this spinach and feta pie, but I was undone from the start because none of the six local shops I visited sold filo pastry.
If you had time for a supermarket run, this wouldn't be a problem, but I had to settle for puff. The result was like a labrador impersonating a chihuahua; my effort related muttishly to the recipe but lacked snap.
Jamie makes the whole thing look so simple, I wonder how I took double the time to make it — I only got the pie in the oven at 28 minutes he banged on to the dessert at 11 and boshed out all four parts in I'm pretty sure that if I make it again, I'll hit the deadline — it's not a recipe that requires careful measurement you could do it by eye and improvise or tricky techniques.
Will I bother? It's not a new favourite. The pie looked plump, golden and appealing in the pan, fresh from the oven, but was stodgy like a huge vegetarian sausage roll — my fault — and was also a little bland because it lacked the cayenne between the filo layers. The tomato salad looked beautiful on a slick of blitzed basil although good luck finding Greek basil.
Perhaps I over-chopped the nuts and chocolate for the ice cream coating. There was no crunch and it had the mouthfeel of something from the bottom of an exotic pet's cage. The clear-up wasn't too bad but the whole business felt like a big to-do for a quick midweek supper I have a delicious salmon and noodle dish I can make in four minutes.
I also now have a huge jar of posh ice cream dust in the larder. I'm going to try it as a crumble topping instead. I hit the kitchen, following Jamie's instructions to "peel the cucumber in long ribbons over the first 'platter' of the evening" - disregarding the fact that I neither knew what a "speed-peeler" was er, a peeler it seems nor own a platter. I just tried to do it fast. So fast in fact, that wasn't until I finished grating my third finger that I spotted his note to "discard the watery core".
Oh well. I chucked my rice on with the two jasmine teabags, doubting the advice to cook for seven minutes and let steam off the hob for seven, blitzed together the ingredients for the curry paste and chucked double the amount of king prawns he specifies into a pan Eight? I'm wasn't going to all this trouble for eight king prawns. This series, Jamie will continue to supply homely British and Mediterranean family staples, but he'll also be drawing more inspiration from Asia including Thai, Indian and Chinese ideas, to uplift the household repertoire and offer some new notes and nuances to the family palate.
