The Graham Kerr Show - Cooking with Kerr

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1966

I can’t think of anything actually worse than cooking an oyster.

– Presenter Graham Kerr

I wish you, as always, good entertaining, and God bless you all.

– Presenter Graham Kerr rounds out the show

Baked potatoes in their jackets, butter, cream and chives in the baked potato. Hmmm! And a tossed green salad, a pint of beer — wonderful.

– Graham Kerr imagines the perfect sirloin steak meal, in part one

I can’t think of anything actually worse than cooking an oyster.

– Presenter Graham Kerr

Can I talk about spaghetti for a moment? Because so many people make an awful mess of spaghetti. Look, sweetie, I would have spaghetti, and I would have a green salad right? A nice, chilled green salad tossed up like this, and some toasted slices of French bread with a little garlic rubbed over the top of them. I think that would be gorgeous with that . . .  You get a long stem of spaghetti, boiling water, and curl it round like this in the boiling water as you go through. And then you allow that to cook for about 14 minutes. It rather depends upon the size of the strands of the spaghetti, and then never, never, never ever put it into a sieve and hold it under cold running water. This is a disgusting, irresponsible thing to do. It is absolutely childish, and they don’t do it in Italy…

– Graham Kerr holds forth on the only acceptable way of preparing spaghetti., in part two

What’s your favourite snack that requires absolutely no cooking?

– Actor Peter Vere-Jones asks a question from the audience ("oysters")
