James May won’t be cooking up a storm with fellow Grand Tour presenters Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Hammond anytime soon. Why? because he refuses to let them into the kitchen with him.
The former Top Gear presenter will be getting to grips with basic recipes in his brand new Amazon Prime Video series, which kicks off in November, but don’t expect his two pals to make an appearance.
‘I wouldn’t actually want to be working in the kitchen with them because we’d stab each other within about 10 minutes,’ James told Metro.co.uk and other press.
Fair enough.
‘It would be quite interesting, I suppose if we each had to cook for the other two, but even if Jeremy Clarkson turned out something worthy of the River Café, I would still be obliged to say, “that’s crap”,’ he continued.
‘I don’t want to cook for Clarkson or Hammond because they wont appreciate it and they’re obliged to say it’s terrible.’
But it’s probably for the best that the trio avoids getting together in the kitchen anyhow, as James also claimed that his co-stars are also lacking in the culinary skills department.
‘I don’t think Jeremy is as good as cooking as I am,’ he pointed out. ‘I know Hammond can make three things because he told me and he admitted it.’
James’s new show will see him learning how to assemble a range of delicious recipes and teaching viewers at the same time, and of course, there’ll be a few kitchen sagas on the way.
While he refrained from setting the kitchen on fire, he did end up burning black pudding hash, which ended up in the bin.
James May: Oh Cook! launches on Amazon Prime Video on Friday 13th November 2020. Oh Cook! 60 Easy Recipes that Any Idiot Can Make is out now.
