I struggled to understand what the audience for this was.
On one hand you had more tomato varieties than the average person can get hold of, muslin, a spare fridge, a wood burning oven ... which doesn't exactly point to being easy.
But then the receipes were totally simple, basic almost (oooh, fresh tomato sauce for a pasta - what a new idea !) so if you had all of the above you probably knew about them anyway.
The sausage thing looked great, but without the right ingredients I would think it would be bland. A few packets of waterery dutch toms, and some cheapy bangers are not going to work.
Didn't annoy me as much as Rick Stein. Used to love the guy, but I hate his bloody patronising "here we are in xxxx, isn;t everything so much better than at home".
Loved his new trick of putting water from the pasta into the sauce, apparently the Italians do it do they Rick ? Read a Jammie book from years ago and you might find he was doing it too ! No new trick there really.
