I like Nigel Slater- I can watch his programme and think 'I could try that' instead of thinking it all is too complicated. Always seems quick, easy and delicious. Hope you had a great time

Me too and he has such a lovely style, such a pity the programme suffers from that blight of many these days. A director or cameraman that can't keep a shot in focus or frame it properly.

Good grief, it's only 3  days since it was on and one day since you posted the link- someof us have busy lives! I was looking forward to watching it but not sure whether to bother now. :(

I've got the episode on my digi recorder.  But there's a whole lot that's older and needs watching first!

Elvis as Caroline says give us a chance as we're not all miserable sods!
I bet that you were well pleased with his visit and I'm sure that what he cooked for you was delicious!   :)

I think if my allotment looked as good as that and had been on telly I would have have shouted  it from the roof tops!!
I guess from Elvis's point of view the response was not overwhelming. Its well worth watching, maybe people were jsut waiting for the weekend to sit and watch it all. Are all the other plots as good as yours Elvis?  :) And the shed!!wow!
Title: Re: nigel slaters simple suppers

That's not a shed - that's a small house!  Plot looks pretty good too.  I'm soooooo jealous!  :) :) :) :)

Just watched it on i-player. What a treat for you- and for Nigel! Your plot looks great. Wish I had a shed that size...actually if I took all the rubbish out of mine I probably would have! ;D

Post by: cornykev on November 21, 2010, 14:25:50
Just seem it Elvis, your plot looks great and so did the grub, I too would have shouted it from the roof tops, I too would have been a tad disappointed to the response but maybe under a seperate title you say have had a lot more responce.    :-\    ???       ;D ;D ;D

I love your allotment Elvis. I would have loved meeting Nigel, at least he is pleasant to watch unlike Nigella who is constantly flirting with her viewers.
