In recent months at home is forbidden to watch TV from Monday to Friday at ten o'clock at night. To be more exact, it is forbidden for me to decide what you see on TV at that hour. Because for the next half hour is Lucia who monopolizes the cable. So the sky will fall on his head, no one moves the chair. From 10 pm, the Kitchen-frequency channel 64, Digital Plus, the missed program begins "Oliver's Twist " and if I have wanted to watch TV for a while I have no choice to settle down at his side.
Jamie Oliver is a young British chef, who as Acurio, educated at one of the best cooking schools in France after having studied London, and is much reference in his country and the other in Peru. A thought leader in the necessities of taste and seasoning. If he proposes something, if you visit a restaurant, if you go somewhere, then closed eye is expected success of those involved, of the elect. It is as if the genie of the lamp would have given the gift to turn into gold whatever he decides to play. An English version as much fun as our cook Peru [1].
recently saw a TV documentary in English Open, where he also begins to appear even though this is not a home-where Oliver joins such a well-intentioned ladies and aims to improve food in English schools. A task that began a few years ago and after much struggle, the documentary reveals the satisfaction of having come to fruition. It turns out that in England, the food in schools is based on junk food, biscuits, soft drinks, snacks and pastries cheap. What every child eats with pleasure if you have someone to check. And Jamie's campaign was so ambitious, fought and effective after a time reached the very Tony Blair to improve-million-euro through the power quality of the schools. A half-court pimientazo. Well
. I remember before I moved to Europe President Garcia came up to start a campaign to promote the consumption of anchovy throughout Peru. This initially drew the respect of the local cuisine, Gaston. And along with all the media at the Palace for an evening of camaraderie which was intended to promote the delicacies prepared from the tiny fish so just for fishmeal for export least for domestic consumption in a dish. And as if this achievement was twenty Chancay, Mr. Acurio, a way to promote the cuisine and offer education to the needy, he decided to get into the crazy idea to raise the sponsorship necessary to create a cooking school no less than in Window. A meritazo if we take into account the cost of logistics and production in the hands of people with fewer resources. To remove the cap ... cook.
And now I'm in Spain, when seen in this British TV, so like the other as a gastronomic reference, I still find other similarities that makes me think about who was first or who copied who or whether the world is so small that the matches are worth.
The theme Acurio program - "Culinary Adventure" - is new to cooking programs in Peru: choosing a product or species, mostly local, and worships in a program and several dishes for medium. First go to different restaurants [2]-that in the future will benefit from the divine grace of Almighty Acurio [3] - and after seeing and tasting Arabian preparations are encouraged by his own account, always inventive and tasteful. For
Jamie Oliver's proposal is not so different: in space can have more family-home cuisine in the heart of London dares to prepare dishes on a counter that is not nothing but a table snack giant. To do so varied and innovative, choose a theme and is visited by such disparate characters as an Elvis impersonator or a bachelor who is crying out to learn to cook to get a girlfriend. Then it gets down to the work and makes use of various spices around the world in a healthy and delicious attempt to merge them all to prepare mouthwatering dishes. A young and modern culinary proposal, just as risky and attractive than that of his Peruvian counterpart. With the same good taste and style, putting his hand and fingers without fear of traditional cooks. Perhaps two drops of water in different bottles. Two
chef who know good food and above all who appreciate good food. Not like those cooks pose and mandilito filled with pins on his lapel, which appear in different programs (I remember that you have a block of five minutes in a hateful girls program) to prepare dishes of jokes and funny names with a two tiny slices of meat and a sauce with the stripes that make the dish as if imitating a Pollock painting. Two cooks and table full plate. "As a province we eat, shit," I would say a good Trujillo. And not like you're playing comidita.
However, I do not know why I get the feeling that was Acurio who took a few touches to your program [4]. While there is enormous merit in presenting the Peruvian chef, I am left with that bitter taste of seeing in one of two places a copy. I like to think that English is the Peruvian imitated, or in the best case, there is a third chef and more famous and ancient that they, say, Paris and while the two studied there took the mold and adapted it to their own realities. I can be wrong.
good thing is that both are worth, and while still see Oliver twist around here, I can feel the pleasure of food is not synonymous with gluttony and indigestion, but tasteful.

[1] write here "Peruvian cook" a synonymous way after using chef in the same paragraph. And not in a derogatory manner, as often happens in the world of cuisine and spices. [2] Hands up who does not envy the Acurio as it appears in program by visiting their restaurant after restaurant to taste some dishes that go over well Taype look good, and also come with a taste that brings up an appetite and welt ... of good. [3] remember going over one of those restaurants that he, as one who does not like things, promotes on his show, and seeing pictures on the walls with the owner, cook and even the servants, or embraced the smiling chef. One way to advertise: "The kid is terrific with beans, sir, if left in the program Acurio." No way around it. [4] Acurio program began in September 2003 while Oliver by "Fifteen", a restaurant that has in London and work in the kitchen giving 15 young who enjoy the food and who are unemployed, has five years on TV, which later he combined with "Oliver's Twist."
