James Martin: Home Comforts (2014)

S01E01 Lazy Days

During the long, lazy days of winter, there’s nothing better than savoring some hearty home-cooked meals. For James, that means whipping up a delicious chicken and mushroom puff pastry pie alongside some tender, slow-cooked spare ribs. In this episode, food historian Ivan Day shares insights into the art of slow cooking, which in the past often meant a lavish spit roast. Additionally, Alasdair Large, a local microbrewer from Wiltshire, stops by the kitchen to explore what culinary creations James can come up with using his own locally brewed beer.
