Hello Mr Oliver,
I have only just seen your recipe for Quince Vodka and I don't think we have quince here on the
island. Never seen it for sale in the market anyway.
I live in the Caribbean, so we have quite a lot of
different type fruits to what the U K sell. Is there a an alternative I can use for Quince. Best to let you know that we do not have apples or pears either. Do hope you can help because I would like to make this for my friends Christmas prezzie, instead of boring old Rum punch for a change. Thanks for any help you may be able to give. J

Hi Jamie,

Please could you send me a tasty (Creamy) low fat recipe, I have wondered why when everyone is so Diet conscious nobody is running a Cookery Programme for dieters I am sure it would be a big hit as long as the recipes were quick and easy. I know loads of people who would watch it and I would be a very happy bunny.

Hi Jamie, just wanted to know if you have ever tried using the herb known as "shadow benni" or "culantro"? It is known by several different names and may be confused for coliantro. This herb however, is quite popular in the Caribbean and Central America. Please let me know if you are familiar with it. Cheers mate!

hi
my kids are real fussy eaters and i love to make healthy foods,i do try to give them something new as often has i can,and i repeat the same dinner for 4 weeks(once a week) to let them really get the taste but they still dont like it,any ideas on how i can make them eat nice healthy dinners,its driving me mad because i end up eating crap rather than go to town for just me

By dawn. Posted September 27 2009 at 6:47 PM.

as a long term fan and qualified chef I love you persistant passion for the food you cook, but why why why do you still cover everything you make in lashings of olive oil, yeah yeah I know it looks great for the camera on TV but very few people buy the quality of olive oil that actually tastes ok and encouraging peeps to 'drizzle' everything in the cheap muck most have in the cupboards does nothing for your dishes..
thanks m8 x

By mandi. Posted September 27 2009 at 10:01 AM.

Please help! My son-in-law is very interested in your recipes and especially a series done on TV called (I think) Cooking for the boys!! Has this series been made into a book or is it available on DVD? I've looked everywhere I can think of to no avail and Christmas is just around the corner!!!!! Thanks.

By Kim Jackson. Posted September 21 2009 at 8:36 PM.

Hi Jamie
I have just become a jamie@home consultant -really
love the range especially the antipasti platter use it all the time and set it up live with the antipapasti olives and feta cheese parma ham at all my parties
hubby says he's never eaten so well..
I love the new fragrance and candle range is there any chance of a add on dvd with you and bella talking a bit about the range .. as i feel it would boost sales. i have borrowed the kit off my manager for a party on monday and wednesday this week and i feel that would be really useful.. came along to the jamboree in sept you were brill !!

By RACHEL Tomkins. Posted September 20 2009 at 6:29 AM.

Jamie. I have never watched a more enjoying, educational and really authentic cooking show as your new series. I live in AZ, USA and you got the Mexican food down to a T. Most Mexican families cook that way. I am loving it man. You being a cowboy was hilarious. You should come to the Tucson Rodeo. It's truly awesome! It's in Feb every year.
It was just like my family here. Brilliant. My question is:

Do you have a home in the USA?
