I cannot stand that lady Julie, she really should stick with writing recipes as she is horrible to watch on TV

They approached me to be part of the programme with products, they wanted $5,000 plus for me to supply all the product for them to use for free!
I feel a Tui moment coming on.

.I'm with ya mattdylan - same here! Don't even like her recipes/cooking.

I'm appalled at the constant product placement/use throughout the show. It's one long advert! Interesting in light of your experience Cooks.

That's exactly what I was going to say - the product placement was so over the top it should be screened as an advertorial not a programme.And yep, did not like the presenting style either. It was followed by the programme hosted by Nici Wickes and there is no comparison.

My Mum cant stand her either. I dont mind her but only saw about 10 mins yesterday

Are the recipes from each show available. Julie has the personality of a rock. Nicki is way better

Good grief ! I would have felt a Tui moment coming on too. I like Julie's recipes but the thing that amuses me is that the recipes featured in the repertoire of the various cafes are things that I and many others no doubt have been making for years.
