I used to enjoy a Canadian cooking program called "The Urban Peasant" with James Barber. Unfortunately it hasn't been on lately in Oz.

I liked the way he made cooking seem fun and casual - his favourite saying seemed to be "Use what you've got" and if anything went wrong, he laughed.

He would have you drooling over a pan of tomatoes and onions simply because of the way he licked his lips over them. At the end he would sit down with a guest to eat his meals. I hope they bring this one back.

These days I am quite enjoying "Ready Steady Cook".
