Thanks for the link to the cooking show Dai, very interesting. I was intrigued not only by the cooking & spices info, but by the style of the production which was new to me (maybe it's common in the US). The entertaining mix of cookery blended with a story line and edited much more like a comedy-drama show than the stilted documentary/reality style of a typical uk cooking show was quite engaging. Maybe some would find it a little brash and overdone, but an interesting departure from the norm in this country anyway.
