Thanks Piskie... a colleague at work mentioned it today assuming I'd been watching. Hopefully they will repeat it at some point and I'll catch the first 2.

Saw a bit of one of the previous ones and couldn't really warm to the guy. Felt that most of what he was doing has been done to death recently but suppose it's good to have a variety of people doing it as different ones will appeal to different people.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Brilliant! love the people who grow the stuff, pumpkin guy was fab, he must be sort of near me, Oxon and canals are soo close, sad thing is I have never heard of him!
Cant wait for next weeks!
We only saw a bit of it last night, but enough for DH to seee the onions in pastry - guess what he's decided we're having at the weekend (he LOVES onions!!).
Sorry but the trailers put me off. Easily miffed, obviously!
Give it another go Flum, the guy really knew his onions (an in joke if you saw the show! ), none of the pretentiousness of lots of these new chefs who wouldn't know local or in season if it bit them!

Fiddlesticks - I went onto the BBC site for the recipe for the onions the ones in pastry, not the tart) but it wasn't there.
Did anyone see the start of that recipe? I came in where he had the onions prepared, but was putting them onto a bed and then under a blanket of puff pastry -- but was it just butter in a cross with salt and pepper on the onions themselves? And what temp oven for 35 minutes?
That kinda programme always makes me want to move back out of the city to the country again - but not feasible at the moment. Haven't even managed a decent autumn weekend in either homeplace in recent years - might take an extra few days off in a couple of weeks time....or maybe not (my sis is home as well, and I can't face any rows at the minute, life is stressful enough without them).
