Review of Jamie Oliver - Pukka Tukka (DVD)

Successful Sugarcraft - Elaine MacGregor

Advantages: Precise clear demonstrations
Disadvantages: 1980's style - very dated

As a beginner to sugarcraft this dvd cover looked exactly like the type of thing I wanted to be able to create, I thought the dvd would show me how to re-create the cake on the front cover and more alike - this cake is not mentioned, clearly an up to date cover!! Very dated format and the only soundtrack is such an annoying child-like jingle. Although I was initially disappointed Elaine MacGregor is clearly very talented and gives good clear and ...
...each subject and you do gain so much more than looking through sugarcraft books. You just can't beat being shown, somethings I just couldn't grasp from the vast amount of books available. Lots of ideas to try and once again, althought the examples are dated you are shown the skills to put into practice on modern designs of your own. It gave me an insight of how things are done properly instead of me guessing how to do it! Sugar Models - you are ...

Review of Successful Sugarcraft (DVD)

The returning nightmares just won't go away

Advantages: Ramsay
Disadvantages: repetitive

The basic premise of this series: Gordon Ramsay goes to a struggling restaurant, tells the chef the food is sh*t and the owner he's a wan*er. The owner kicks off and argues with Gordon, before giving into his proposals, and finally rejoicing when Gordon saves the restaurant from going down the pan, all in the space of a week. This DVD release sees Gordon return to four of the restaurants he worked in for series 1: Bonapartes Restaurant, Silsden, ...
...Tree Inn, Llandewi Skirrid, South Wales Moore Place, Esher, England Basically, they re-hash the original episode (re-showing most of it), then Gordon goes back to see how they're doing now. Ramsay is an intriguing character. He first came onto our screens in the documentary 'boiling point' which followed his kitchen for a bit. The public was outraged at how much he swore and shouted, but Gordon said that was life in the kitchen. Gordon had learnt ...

Review of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited (DVD)

* Get Fit With Claire *

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Not many!

I used to be a HUGE Steps fan in my younger days! I was mad about them! I had all their CDs , Videos , Books , T Shirts , Scarfs , Posters , Mugs .... if it had a Steps logo on it , I had it. So as you can image I was pretty gutted when they split up. Fast forward seven years and Claire Richards , ex member of Steps , is back on the scene with a fitness DVD which helped her drop five dress sizes! I remember, it was Christmas last year, when the DVD ...
...it was too expensive. I can't remember exactly how much it was at the time , although I think it might have been aroung £17 which I thought was far too much to pay for a fitness DVD. So I decided I would wait. I waited so long that I forgot about the DVD , until recently. I was browsing through the DVD pages on Amazon when I came across the DVD selling for £12.98 ; still quite expensive considering that the DVD is now a year old. However I still ...

Review of 5 Step Fat Attack With Claire Richards From Steps (DVD)

Does Jeremy Kyle really access all areas of quality?

Advantages: Gives an insider view of the popular TV show.
Disadvantages: Bit expensive for what it is. Not a lot more than you would get in a standard episode.

The Jeremy Kyle has established itself as one of the staples of daytime TV today. Since 2005 it has covered interesting and often controversial issues such as paternity disputes (most common), infidelity, feuding neighbours and drug and alcohol addicts. However there are some uplifting issues that they deal with, such as family reunions and rejuvenating torn-down estates where crime and depravity are rife. The most well-konwn feature of the show ...
...at the studio and film Jeremy himself being pampered ready for the recording. The bulk of the 83 minutes of the DVD however I regret to say is not much more than an ordinary episode (though it was made especially for the DVD and has such never been broadcast on TV). There are 2 DNA tests and one lie detector test (I shan't give away the results). When watching this I did feel that the DVD wasn't perhaps worth the £12.71 I paid for it (which to be ...
