Janet Miller 1 year agoDoes Tamasin have a website of her own. I've looked and can't find one. It would be good if she could get one were people can go and get her recipes and have discussion forums. Swap recipes etc. I think Tamasins recipes are great., got Tamasins Bible. Please consider getting website.

Anton 1 year agoI was excited to find out Tamasin likes the La Garde Freinet cuisine of Jean-Jacques Martini and wine of Herve Sauvage. I am proud to call myself an acquaintance of both respected monsieurs and can tell that the Martini Lasagna is the best pasta dish I ever had. With a great Var wine picked by Mr. Wild )). -

Tracey115 8 months agoI have also been looking for a website. if anyone finds one please let us all know. Has anyone found Tamasin's newest book in any Australian bookstores? I want to buy it, I have heard it is as good as all the other books, which is to say great practical information. -

robyn pearse 6 months agoI like watching this lady, but would prefer if she tied her hair up whilst cooking.-
Muffy Peddersen 3 months agoI so agree Robyn! Her hair drives me to distraction while she is cooking. -
jill 3 months agoI totally agree. Watching her trying to keep her hair away from her face distracts me from what she's actually cooking. I'm pleased that she has moved out of her grotty little dark kitchen with the old electric cooker into a new kitchen with something reasonable to cook on. How does anyone cook on an electric hob? -
Popsicle 2 months agoOMG... I thought I was the only one... it gets me wondering if she's going to get hair in the food etc... Tamasin please please do something with your hair... a nice modern style and cut would be a nice change... -

Andreas Flench'e 5 months agoWhat a honey!.... love her naturalness in the show and the cooking itself.... made my day!
thanks Tamasins (cute name too!).... catchya Andreas -
like to cook 4 months agoi enjoy your show, but find it very unruly when your hair gets in the way... DO YOU THINK YOU COULD TIE YOUR HAIR BACK, I always think that a hair will pop out at some stage -
preu 4 months agoTasmin, your food is *** and you look like mutton dressed up as lamb... excuse the cooking pun :) Honestly you are in no way attractive to the male population... also the female. I agree with 'like to cook's' comment's above. Could you tie your hair back... A. it is a MAJOR food health and safety hazard and B. it makes me wonder what the rest of your pubic area looks like if that's how you like your hair. I am normally not one to 'write letters' but you have managed to offend me with not only your cooking but also your strange relationship with your son's friend (episode when you taught your son and friend to cook) that was more than uncomfortable. Also your lack of bra in the same episode was more than scaring and today's episonde that I was again un-willingly subjected to was the 'Apple Sider' one where you chose to wear the slashed/cut out black cardigan number which literally made male friends of mine sick... in the stomach. Yours From Australia. Get another day job-
debra 3 months agoHey, you know it's not compulsory for you an your mates to watch this programme which you evidently dislike so much! As regards Ms Day-Lewis' food, when cooking, I regularly take inspiration from her TV shows and books and find the results excellent. You appear to make somewhat more than a healthy amount of sexual referencing in your comments and therefore I suggest you either focus on the cookery element of the show, change channel and/or get some therapy for your anger problem !

cookie 4 months agoI am afraid I have to agree with a few of the writers except for leanne who said you had no flash kitchen -I would give my right arm for your kitchen. However, the hair drives me insane and I scream at the TV the whole time you are on to tie it back and miss what you are doing. I was also mortified when you entertained that very conservative family with your cider/pork in your skimpy outfit. I felt it was completely unnecessary. I watched this show for the food but not sure if I could stand to go through that again.-
leanne 4 months agoi think cookie must have missed the earlier episodes before the new kitchen was put in,the new kitchen is absolutely a dream and i wish it were mine however i love the fact that tamasin kept her old scales and some other old faves and is comfortable within herself to wear what she likes in her own home.
she's obviously a woman comfortable in her own skin and how refreshing that is in this day and age!

shelley o'grady 4 months agoAgree! Love the kitchen- very solid and expensive and am beginning to enjoy Tamasin, she's a bit of a character. The hair though- and the see through top! I am waiting to see what she will wear this week as well as what she will cook. By the way, wouldn't mind her house either!

Cassandra 4 months agoI think it's pretty lame that people feel they can be rude and mean to others. I watched Tamasin today on Seven Two in AUS and I thought her recipies were great. They were wholesome and had interesting combinations. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. whether you think she is good or bad, she has the guts to follow a passion and she has managed to get somewhere with it. Her hair is trivial in comparisson to that. Good work Tamasin. -
Kathy 4 months agoI think it's a reasonable request to ask that hair be tied back when cooking - can you imagine one of those long hairs in your soup!! It seems to annoy her too as she is always flicking it out of the way and this is irritating to watch and can take the attention from what she is doing. Her speech pattern too seems a bit abrupt as if she's always in a hurry. That said she does show recipes that are simple and easy to replicate. Her version of Creme Caramel looked really easy though it looked as if the caramel was a bit overdone. I like the way she is also getting used to her new appliances just as anyone does when they have a new kitchen. Maybe that's why the caramel looked a bit dark, not used to the new stove. -
Debra69 3 months agoI love the show...NEVER miss it if I can help it - LOve the recipes and have decided to join and share some old recipes from the home land...I left South Africa in 1984 and have been in Australia ever since then.

Debra69 3 months agoI find comment( from a typical Aussie male)regarding Tamasin food and her mode of dress really offensive. We watch the show to learn about cooking..not to" nit pick" - I agree with the comments made by various people that she should tie her hair back as that is the done thing whilst cooking expecially on television...and in commercial kitchens. But I think she is great and has a lot to offer..

SuzyQ 3 months agoThanks to Channel 72 in Australia we have been introduced to the wonderful Tamasin with her passion for food, yes the hair is a bit annoying but who cares when it comes to those mouth-watering dishes she produces, and I've learned so much by just tuning in every Friday. The best cooking show on TV by far!-
Susan Snell 2 months agoYes - I agree - I have only just found her only watched on episode and I am hooked. I am trying to find her recipe for the coq a vin that she cooked. Simply delicious SuzyQ2 -

maurice 3 months agohi i live in Australia,it seems the hygiene laws in the uk are so relaxed as to be non existant when it come to chefs who think its cool to not wear head covering whilst preparing and cooking food.in a lot of countries that is a foremost law as people do not want the chefs hair in the food.please someone get them up to the rest of the worlds standards and show some concern for good food.tamasin day lewis and georgio are the worst.

Jude 2 months agoYes I agree with SuzyQ many thanks to channel 72 for showing the program here in Australia....I am amazed how so many people here are focusing on her hair! I am so in awe of her cooking lifestyle and the "realness" of her the hair simply doesn't matter....fantastic show.
