Following on from his last excursion in Jamie Cooks Italy, Jamie Oliver will be venturing to the Mediterranean to learn what is at the heart of their cooking practices and cuisines.
Oliver will travel all over the Med, from bustling cities to beachy coasts, and learn simple yet fresh and flavourful recipes from the people he encounters.
Using their teachings as a starting point, he will create new recipes for his audience inspired by each cuisine; from Greece comes a Smokey aubergine flatbread, from France a courgette, goat’s cheese and tapenade tart, from Tunisia crispy prawn parcels with harissa, and from Spain pork chops with chargrilled peppers.
Samantha Beddoes, Executive Producer for Jamie Oliver Productions, says: “We're really excited to see Jamie out and about again, rolling up his sleeves along with cooks and foodies from all over the Mediterranean to explore the way each country uses ingredients differently and creatively.
"This series is about honouring the traditional methods and getting excited by new ones to help bring us all a taste of holiday whilst we're home.”
Tim Hancock, Commissioning Editor for Channel 4, said: “Jamie’s been going from strength to strength in his series for us, and this is a really beautiful travelogue showcasing techniques and recipes even the most avid foodie might have missed, and some ingenious recipes from Jamie.”
Jamie Cooks the Mediterranean will air on Channel 4 in Autumn 2023.
