JAMES MAY: OH COOK is a British reality show featuring former Top Gear host James May as he hosts a cooking series without really knowing how to cook. May has been hired to write a cookbook that includes simple recipes that can be made with basic ingredients in a simple kitchen. Now he's presenting these recipes in front of the camera for the accompanying TV show. As he prepares ingredients and cooks dishes, he reveals some of the TV production tricks used to make the cooking process -- and the finished plated products -- look easy and beautiful on popular cooking series. Also helping him through it is home economist Nikki Morgan, who pops in and out when he needs assistance. From Asian fusion dishes to pub-style food, May attempts to plate up some edible dishes, while the TV crew tries to keep things together.
