As much as I love the "professional" cooking show, it hasn't captured the basic everyday man, comedic value that James accomplished in these videos. Sometimes you don't need a production team and director
Honestly it's pretty cool to see a TV presenter making a video with out all the scripting/behind the scenes stuff. It's like you get to a certain point in fame where your mundane life at home is more interesting to people than whatever crazy stuff your doing on a TV show.
***** Didn't know you suddenly lost all your money within a week of losing a job. In any case, unless he has been incredibly stupid with his money, he should have enough to live off bank interest for the rest of his life and still be richer than most of us.
"Well, eventually you can tell the oil is getting hot, because your kitchen burns down." You know, Top Gear or not, I am glad to see you are still trying to have fun and be yourself. You are still giving your fans something to watch. It may not involve cars, but it is still you, James May. Good luck to you, and may God bless you.
Love the smooth recorder scene transition there! The awful filming and editing quality actually add something to it. Not sure it would be as funny produced properly.
I'm actually super hyped that James is youtubing, This will be like lifting a rock in a forest and discovering an entire colony of interesting things for him! Take a look around James! The people on here will be thrilled to feature you in their videos!
James May needs to do more cooking shows, with lines like "normal kitchen shit" and "red wine, some of which may even end up in the pie". No food ponsery, just simple cooking
He is making this video the same day Clarkson got fired from BBC and immediately after he announced to press that his plans were to "cook a shepherds pie and make a youtube video". Man of his word!..
Just a quick pointer James you could've cooked the mince first and then drain the fat off, while that's draining you could then fry the onions, chilli and mushrooms.. This has the coming of a great pie James please continue:-)
Xenia J Yes. Yes, indeed. 1:49 - 'Well eventually you can tell when the oil's getting hot because your kitchen burns down'. That will be Jeremy's doing. He's already done it to a caravan.
Mr. James May, I made this channel art as inspired by your jumper and your unemployedness. You need all the help you can get! 1.bp.blogspot.com/-B-6_zk5M5Q4/VSG77F5kM9I/AAAAAAAAVDg/Yub4MJhJIbU/s1600/JM's%2BUnemployment%2BTube%2BChannel%2BArt%2BV1.png
I am enjoying this far more than I should be..
What about your solution video for bluestone?
I still watch the sugarcane remix sometimes. ;)
Mumbo Jumbo Mumbo! You like top gear?
Lucas Toledo he loved it. He really, really did.
*****
Oh goodness, Minecraft could fuel James' OCD to unknown heights.
... but it would be fun to watch, I think. :)
May Drunk Kitchen. :)
Dan!
Hi, Dan!
OfficialNerdCubed Yep, and Hannah Hart is actually in the country at the moment!
OfficialNerdCubed Nice to see you, Dan!
lol!
Only James can entertain me cooking onions
Drae! Didnt know you liked, james and the blokes!
As much as I love the "professional" cooking show, it hasn't captured the basic everyday man, comedic value that James accomplished in these videos. Sometimes you don't need a production team and director
He always drinks when he cooks.
He always drinks whilst not being asleeps
helped him beat Gordon Ramsay :)
I hope it is not rose wine.
Everyone should drink when they cook. It's the rule.
klovershows Dulls the horror of the food he's going to eat later.
I think you might've used one of your potatoes as a camera though James xD
Made my day...
Well he is cooking, its an easy mistake to make.
wapted HAHAHAHAHA!
Tomskii5 Get off the wine mate, to much 'hahaha' :D
wapted LOLZ (wait, I'm laughing again then am I?)

Millionaire > has 360p camera
You're right, better to watch a grown man cook in 4k 60fps?
234b5463 24fh73j thought your comment said cock at first. As long as it's James May I would answer yes to both.
Sucka3Boss Ahahah that made me laugh more than it should have!
That's the point. He's demonstrating how important it is to have a crew to have a high quality production.
***** Didn't know you suddenly lost all your money within a week of losing a job. In any case, unless he has been incredibly stupid with his money, he should have enough to live off bank interest for the rest of his life and still be richer than most of us.
This is better than the new top gear :)
Drives a Ferrari.....then makes shepherds pie on the weekends. What a man, what a man indeed.
Lol all three of them should make a cooking show together
TheAymanhawk23 all hell would brake loose.... but we would love it! :D
Yea but clarkson would find it difficult to cook with a hammer :/
Oh cock....
stevie6868 Well James would be brilliant with a slow cooker
TheAymanhawk23 Hammond would just catch everything on fire like on the camping episode of TG...and lord knows what Clarkson would do.
Now all we need is for the stig to do a taste test around the kitchen.
Todd The Triumphant Best comment I've read thus far.
he'd probably taste the frying pan then use a pineapple as a spatula
Not just enjoying these, but this will be my dinner tonight! Thanks James.
I wonder if he uses a slow cooker...
SLOW cooker
I see what you did there...
Davies Owen OI Brilliant! :)
Davies Owen OI Captain SLOW Cooker.
Davies Owen OI Ba dum PISSHHH
I see what you did there ;o)
Absolute Legend.
From the presenter of Top Gear a new show: James May's Drinking and Cooking.
I should be doing my calculus right now, but instead, I'm watching a middle-aged Hammersmith man cook a pie.
James is a true entertainer. And also cook

James May's Drunk Kitchen Diaries!! I love it!
Love the smooth recorder scene transition there! The awful filming and editing quality actually add something to it. Not sure it would be as funny produced properly.
This is the most interesting cooking show I have ever watched.
James May being unemployed is the best thing to happen to TH-cam. I love this channel so much
I think the camera has a drinking problem.
"Eventually you can tell your oil is getting hot because your kitchen burns down"
Effing brilliant, I love it.
'You know it's hot when the kitchen burns down'. 😂😂😂😂
That little recorder segué was adorable. LOL.
please never stop this.... this may be the best cooking show ever...
I never thought i'd follow a series of cooking a shepherds pie. Brilliant haha
I will watch every single one of these videos. On repeat.
He started in a small humble kitchen now he has his own cooking show
You should invite Clarkson and Hammond for dinner. I love to hear all of you talking. You are so great together.
I love how low tech your kitchen is, James. Simple as you like!
Now I'm getting a hankering for shepherd's pie...
What a fantastic way to spend my toilet break thank you James.
Love this channel so far!
This is still more entertaining than most stuff on TV these days.
Why is this masterpiece recommended to me 5 years later?
the lad is worth 10's of millions and still looks/ lives like a broke PHD student ---- brilliant.
Someone employ him and quickly, bless him, lol
Drinking wine and cooking, like all the greats. Used to love watching Justin Wilson the Cajun chef.
"Eventually you can tell when the oil's getting hot because your kitchen burns down", I fucking love James May honestly
james may, one man alone, against the world, with his trusty cooking skills can he become a legend
The intermission, oh my god, its amazing
This shouldn't be funny at all, but I couldn't stop smiling the entire time.
I can't work out if he is just bored and playing around or if he is in the middle of a semi serious melt down, either way for some reason I love it!
I can watch him all day.
You could start a kickstarter to fund a replacement wooden fish-slice.
The production value is through the roof. Love it!
I'm happy to see that you still got the fire to entertain! I wish that you 3 would get a chance to work together again somewhere else...
"you can tell when the oil is getting hot as your kitchen burns down"
brilliant..
James May is my 9th favourite person in the world
Never thought i would hear JM say "I don't know how"
"well, eventually you can tell the oil is hot because your kitchen burns down." I can't lmao
Interesting messages snuck into the video. We love ya James!
You really do love that sweater James.
There's so much I could say. Short version: I love this. You "doing your thing" is much more entertaining than the crap on television now.
The three of them should make a cooking show -- it'd be hilarious xD
May be the best TH-cam channel ever!
May is already showing signs of a good youtuber. He listens and reads the comments! :D
Who needs the stuffy BBC anyway? This is far more entertaining than anything which they're putting out right now, and it's free.
Happy to see that you don't miss the most imortant part about cooking; namely a glass of vine LOL! Thats what make a great chef you know :D
This is so much better than Top Gear.
This explains how they managed to survive on their 'Special' James's cooking, legend
this video truly is legendary
Anyone else notice when James drinks his wine he always goes "mmm"
First time I've watched a cooking show since floyd , inspired me to go and make pie ;-)
james you are too awesome
I'm actually super hyped that James is youtubing,
This will be like lifting a rock in a forest and discovering an entire colony of interesting things for him!
Take a look around James! The people on here will be thrilled to feature you in their videos!
I'm loving these videos!
Only James May would have me watch a cooking tutorial at 6am
This is so awesome hahahaha. May you are a legend!
Amazing content James, I'm very glad
You should invite guests...Gordon Ramsay...Hammond....Clarkson...
I love the way James says chile
Instantly my most favorite youtuber. No fancy editing or anything just great content.
But how much horsepower does this pie have? Does it handle well? Is it comfortable to take on tour? Thanks
Loving your work mate! Best cooking show, "Top Pan. "
I can't believe this is happening... its beautiful
Could be onto a winner with this, mate. A cooking show for men...maybe add a bit of history and science in as well. i'd watch it :-)
Eventually you can tell when the oil gets hot because your house will burn down... James your the best lol

Love the use of the recorder video. Your retirement activities are really all coming together now.
This is currently the best channel on TH-cam.
First time seeing a video on TH-cam without any Dislikes. Awesome 🔥
I love these Videos
He can make this his job, lol. He almost has 50k subs already
I'm glad your doing this James
I'm liking this channel
"So, what did you do in your easter weekend?"
"Oh, James May taught me how to cook a pie, so yeah.. nothing special.."
This is fantastic!
wow, that flute transition!
That transition though... well done!
I to am enjoying this more than I should, can't believe i'm even watching this. Watch out Gordon Ramsay lol
WOW james! I am amazed...
I love these.
This is, oddly entertaining. Loving this so far.
I love you James. I subscribed! You make my day.
Mr. James May, you need some channel art. Perhaps your jumper pattern as the header and the job center plus logo as your avatar?? just a suggestion :D
james jones Good suggestions...I still think he should invite Clarkson and Hammond over for a cook-off. That would be hilarious. :D
Xenia J Yes. Yes, indeed.
1:49 - 'Well eventually you can tell when the oil's getting hot because your kitchen burns down'. That will be Jeremy's doing. He's already done it to a caravan.
rockandclassiccars they are a perilous trio, but extremely entertaining ☺
