There are many throwaway comments typical of the Top Gear triumvirate with Clarkson and May, some of which I found amusing, others wearisome and I suspect not especially genuine. It does a great job of focusing on the points that make you a better cook, leaving the bunch of cooking fluff of other shows aside.Or should we all put on our bravest faces and continue the charade until he can no longer muster the energy himself?
