Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver returns to TV with his latest show, Jamie Oliver: Seasons , airing from 10 to 24 September on BBC Lifestyle (Channel 174) at 8pm. This exciting series aims to inspire viewers to embrace seasonal cooking and reconnect with the source of their food.
At the heart of Jamie Oliver: Seasons is the idea of connecting with our food in a more mindful way. Jamie explains, Jamie Oliver: Seasons exists to help you surf the seasons. Eating seasonally is not only better for the planet, its also a great way to get more of the good stuff into your diet and to keep costs down in the kitchen.
Plus, according to Jamie - and wed take his word for it without hesitation, when fruit and veg are eaten at the right time of year, theyre not only more nutritious due to their freshness, they simply taste better too.
Starting with Spring, each episode of the four-part series highlights how simple, fresh ingredients can be transformed into delicious meals while encouraging viewers to try growing their own food.
The shows natural setting plays a key role. The birdsong you hear in the background is real, says Jamie, describing how they used macro lenses and time-lapse filming to capture the changing seasons. Weve put a lot of effort into capturing the British weather so you can get a real sense of the changes.
