Today’s announcement has raised questions amongst fans as to whether the second series will lead to a second cooking book. One fan commented: I don’t need cookbooks. I have too many.

Oh Cook!: The cookbook from James May with simple, easy…

Mine is no ordinary cookery book. This is different, because I can’t cook. Usually, with these TV/cookbook tie-in jobs, the book comes first and then selected bits are filmed for the show. The idea behind Oh Cook! is to learn on screen and then put the successful bits into print. James May is here to prove that really anyone can cook. On his journey to becoming a more accomplished home cook, he makes use of his favourite trusted gadgets and ingredients and through some traditional trial and error so that you can avoid all the common pit falls at home. The silent millions of reluctant home chefs have been waiting for decades for Oh Cook! the cookbook that, finally, drives a blunt meat skewer through the burgeoning pseudo-intellectualism of foodie media.' - James MayIn 2020, the initial season of ‘Oh Cook!’ premiered on Prime Video. The program featured James May taking on a range of diverse recipes with the guidance of home economist Nikki Morgan. ‘Oh Cook!: 60 Easy Recipes That Any Idiot Can Make,’ a cookbook by May, was also released in response to the show’s popularity.
