James May isn’t a professional chef, and that’s exactly the message: you don’t have to be a culinary expert to create tasty dishes. From the comfort of a home economist’s kitchen, he takes us on a culinary journey to the Far East, the Mediterranean, and even the neighborhood pub. He prepares mouthwatering recipes that are genuinely achievable at home, using ingredients that are readily available. And he does it all without relying on the typical gimmicks of TV cooking shows.
