Another engaging cooking show starring my favourite celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver. Jamie’s Kitchen is a clever blend of cooking meets reality TV. The premise; Jamie takes a group of unemployed young people and mentors them until they bloom into accomplished chefs, finally employing them in his new restaurant.
The series follows the trails and tribulations that occur as Jamie struggles to educate kids who are not used to being given chances in life. He also has the stress of financing and furnishing the new restaurant to contend with.
Unfortunately the audience gradually loses sympathy for the apprentice chefs as we see them exhibit frustratingly lazy and immature behaviour every step of the way. Yet this only serves to strengthen our empathy with Jamie. Initially planning to name the restaurant ‘Fifteen’ after the fifteen participants, there are admittedly fewer chefs by the time it actually opens.
The show is happily unpretentious and provides an idiosyncratic insight into the intricacies of opening a restaurant and the lives of underpriveledged British teens.
Jamie's Kitchen can be purchased online from the ABC Shop website: http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=726292
