About
The programme is presented by Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty.
The series is based in Jamie and Jimmy's Cafe which is based at the end of Southend Pier which is the longest Pleasure Pier in the World. Jimmy and Jamie are helped in the Cafe by one of Jamie's old students, Kerry-Anne.
The Cafe is filled with members of the Public who are cooked for and sample the recipes cooked within the Recipe. They may also be given additional dishes cooked by Jamie and Kerry-Anne.
Each week a celebrity guest joins Jimmy & Jamie in the Cafe and helps to cook a recipe of their choosing.
Episode menu
Each episode contains a menu of recipes, which consists of the following:
A Recipe for the Weekend by Jamie
In each episode Jamie cooks a recipe for the Weekend. These are usually filmed and cooked outside the Cafe, sometimes in or around his portable Pub, 'The Cock In Cider'. In Series Two these recipes came from his 'Jamie's Comfort Food' Book.
A Celebrity Guest Recipe
Each episode sees a guest come to the cafe and help cook a recipe to their choosing, usually one which has played a significant part of their life. Jamie and his research team ensure the recipe matches the original dish as best as he can to that of the recipe the Guest is familiar with.
A Food Fight Mission
Each episode Jamie & Jimmy also campaign for a food or cause in a Food Fight. In Series One Jamie and Jimmy campaigned each week to bring back and give recognition to regional recipes which were now unknown or on the decline. From Series Two Jamie and Jimmy campaigned each week to highlight an issue with Food Waste.
A DIY Food Build by Jimmy
In each episode Jimmy builds a DIY piece of cooking equipment, showing the viewers how to do it at home. This segment is filmed on Jimmy's Farm in Essex. From Series 4 this focused on Wild Foods.
