I was saying to your team, like um this recipe normally I c when I'm dreaming a recipe.
Why did Jamie write ‘20 Minute Meals: Real Fast Food’ and what’s inside?
Typically, I can get at least 85% there from a dream, right? I can see it, I can imagine it, I can taste it, I can smell it, honestly, truly. And so normally on the first cook-up, I get 90%, roughly.

This one is probably uh this of all the recipes of 7,000 in 25 years of writing, yeah. This is actually the the toughest one. The biggest ball like. Yep, just because I'd needed to keep going back to try and get that intensity of flavour back and the texture and stuff like that. Yeah. So So it's a good it's a good dish now and and um yeah I so I I did one for you for today, but more importantly I've made three that are in the fridge for you to put in the freezer. And of course because it's vegan there ain't much perishable like so you know don't worry about the meat hanging about. You know, don't worry about the meat hanging about.

Hi, I'm Jamie Oliver and I'm gonna be on the Romish Show.
Ranger. Nathan.
Oh shut up, Rome.
This episode is brought to you by Counselling Directory. I've been very open about my mental health struggles over the years. I've tried everything from meditation to hypnotherapy. I like to keep an open mind. But something that's really helped me is therapy. I think it can be great if you struggle with anxiety, if you're going through something like a breakup or a loss. It can also be really good if you just need someone to talk to that isn't your partner or your dog. Sometimes it can though feel like even finding a therapist is an uphill struggle. Where do I look? Are they legit? How do I know who's going to be right for me? So that's why I think Counselling Directory is so great. It helps you find a therapist that's right for you, whether you want to see someone face to face or online.
They have over 29,000 therapists and counsellors across the UK. So even if you're picky, you should be able to find someone. And all of the therapists on the directory are verified. You can take the time to read their personal profiles, learn a bit about them and how they work, and then contact the ones that you like in your own time. And that I think makes the whole thing a little bit less scary. If you've been thinking about therapy, visit Counselling Directory and find a therapist that's right for you.
So and it wasn't creamy and sort of it didn't feel like a treat.
Mm.
And so you made this thing. I came in with my mum.
Yeah. Bless.
Uh love her. My mum got quite drunk. I don't know if she remembers.
Yeah, batched cocktails, she was all over that. Is she still drinking a lot?
Um Yes. Love you. Shanty, I love you. Yeah. That was when we first realized she had a problem.
