Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker, Red Hot

Product Information

Suddenly it starts looking like all the really good stuff he has done is more to do with him relieving his conscience, rather than, as he has claimed, the real reason behind his commercial efforts. Clearly those who designed this and made all the critical decisions on what plastic to use had no clue just how much punishment that ceramic ball could dish out! I washed it by hand in hot and soapy water. After it dried I gave it a sniff. It smelled like curry. I washed it again, this time soaking in soapy water for a while. After it dried I gave it a sniff. It smelled like curry. I filled it with acidulated water, let it sit for a couple of hours and then washed it. After it dried I gave it a sniff. It smelled like curry. Jamie Oliver is going to be a very rich man but in five, ten years’ time he is going to wonder why no-one respects him. I hope he doesn’t succumb to the even-worse fate and become bitter. I just don’t get Jamie Oliver, TV chef extraordinaire. He seems to be leaping between ever greater peaks of admiration and disgrace, but I really can’t see how he can rebound from the frankly disgraceful “flavour shaker” that he is relentlessly advertising on the TV.

Did they get you to sign a confidentiality contract? Because if not, there is a newspaper out there that would pay for a behind-the-scenes expose. The Daily Mail or The Evening Standard. But note that this one was not Jamie’s idea. It had been beautifully constructed by a professional production team to act as a vehicle for him. He also didn’t make the same mistake, as with 15, of putting his own money into it.I sealed it tight but not tight enough to do that level of damage and shook it less violently that Jamie does on TV! I think it’s a shame that fame and fortune has corrupted Jamie Oliver but he’s not the first and he won’t be the last. The recipe below is based on using a large (2.4 litre, 10 cup) Bundt pan as I love the appearance of the finished cake. Bundt pans are available from good kitchen shops and online.

How will the “flavour shaker” fail? Who knows, the grip will come off, the plastic connection will fail – most obviously – people will simply lose the “magic ball”.Cardamom cake would feature in most Swedes’ top 10 classic fika treats. It can be baked in a round or an oblong tin or, as in this version adapted from Mat Magasinet (The Food Magazine), in a Bundt pan.
