Miguel
i can't wait to see this show in India. in bbc entertainment .. god knows how long i have to wait to see miguel!!
Bring back tropical kitchen...nothing like it on T.V, a really joy to watch!!!
I met Miguel on Saturday at The Maitland Taste Food and Wine Festival. He was very friendly, and dispite what people above have said, he was neiter "over the top" or "full of himself". He was a genuinely nice guy who has a passion for cooking, and took the time to stop and speak to us and even pose for a happy snap. If people don't like him, simple, don't watch. I don't see the need to write comments on a public forum simply to put someone down.
eres un puto crack nene...me alegro que te vaya de lujo y lleves el nombre de murcia con orgullo me cagon la puta!!!sigue asi...EduNortes
Eres un figura y en Murcia presumimos mucho de tÃ. Un abrazo pichica. You are a crack. In Murcia ( Spain ), people talks good things about you. You are a lucky man,
I would love that mussel recipe you made on the beach, it looked so yummy & simple.
Wow, this show looks great! Those poor camera men having to swelter in the heat salivating over all that food... Hmmmm, tropical food....
lol i love this show its my faourite
He is HOT! And Sarah is stunning.
A fantastic funny chef and filmed in my home town to boot! cant ask for more!

best cooking show EVER!!!!! Its the perfect show, hot spaniard, amazing food, beautiful scenery :) god i adore miguel!!!!!!!
the best cooking show.keep up the good work bro.all you haters get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
miguel is the best!funny guy at least hes not boring nice food we always watch him.
Very mixed reactions from this show, but at the end of the day I somehow managed to enjoy it! I think the setting really helps, you just get that laid back feel from watching the show, even if Miguel is over the top!! I think Sarah Clare was great with the drinks, I think she should have her own show!! Now that would be something different, a show focusing on cocktails and the like!!!
miguel is HOT HOT HOT He can cook for me anyday of the week YUM YUM
Im health nut and he can cook for me anyday. Lovely smile :)
I hate his hysterical style an awful grating voice
last few epsiodes were a couple 'o bewties.
I could watch Miguel boil water all day long...he`s smokin` HOT...
what a show what a crazy bull
Oh this guy is the complete package... HOT, with an accent to sweep any lady off her feet and he cooks as well... OMG my husband thinks I watch for the recipes he he he
Ibudd you are a ***.
Truely appalling! this would have to be THE worst cooking show on TV at the moment! MM is a lunatic who cooks rubbish and try to lech onto his co star! get off you loser!
jealousy is a curse
after reading all the reviews I went there for lunch today...OMG! Amazing. Jugs of sangria are the best I have ever had. The calamari was my fave on the tapas menu. And the terrine, something i would never have tried but was so good!! This place is rockin!! Great atmosphere, great service and great location!
TS - maybe if you aren't busy we could go there together some time
Miguel is amazing I dont care if you are over the top that is how I am when I cook with a few of the delicous cocktails also featured in the show. We live in the tropics and this is how we want to cook simple and with ingredients so bountiful in our wonderful part of Australia.
I watched this for the first time yesterday and I have to say Miguel's enthusiasm is infectious! Haven't enjoyed a cooking show this much for ages - thanks for 'putting a smile on my dial' Miguel and you've won another fan!!!
THE BEST COOKING SHOW EVER
I was wondering if anyone has the recipe where Miguel made a prawn dumpling a few weeks ago. I got the tail end of the show unfortunately and by the time I got a get a pen, it had gone. It was definitely a whole prawn, and I think it was coriander, chilli, pine nuts. If anyone could help would be great.
Hi Jo-Anne, if you click the "more recipes" link above you will find the prawn ravioli is in there ... enjoy!
I love the show and find the recipes have a tropical twist to an old favourite. I only wish that the cocktail receipies were listed on the site also!
OMG! What would my last meal be....? Strawberries, vanilla, caramel, chocolate and Miguel!!!! If all Spaniards are like him I'm moving to Spain!!!!
He's pretty entertaining but the recipes are really simple and hardly tv quality. Plus, he claimed that "papillote" is French for butterfly, when it actually means "paper or tinfoil for cooking" and butterfly in French is actually "papillon". Don't mean to nitpick but the producers should get something so basic correct. He does present with panache, which is (essentially) the show's only saving grace. P.S. are the sexual innuendos really necessary? A particular example that stands out is the episode when he gets women at the races to taste some white, sticky meringue-y concoction, then proceeds to cajole them into trying his "skewer". o.o
Yummy, yummy.... apart from what a few of you have said, I still think he is very sexy and prepares great food... I would love for him to cook for me!!!!!
Love his passion and although a little on the annoying side it is addictive and I am a follower. Great food ideas!!
What an ego! Unpleasant personality. Full of himself. After watching 2 episodes I have turned off! Cant anyone else do tropical food?
Recorded the show and watched it last night with my children, aged 20 & 14. Both commented Miguel was completely over the top and put on, the 14yo said if he doesn't wake up and tone down nobody will watch after the next episode. The 20yo simply said he was a ... and would prefer Boys Weekend. Me, he was trying way too hard first time around and nervous. Let's see what the next episode delivers as he relaxes.
Best show - Best Chef on TV! He makes everything look fresh, tasty and fun to eat! Juicy!!!!!
who was the woman making cocktails??
Sarah Clare, IIRC.
choppy choppy choppy...he's a hottie!!
Wow! Blew me away. He's funny, cute, the setting is amazing and best of all... his recipes are terrific. I loved the tuna caparcio and the wonton fruit dessert. More of Miguel please... much more!
Never seen him before but have been looking forward to the show. He is very entertaining and I am looking forward to making the Chicken Cabbage Rolls as I already have the ingredients in the fridge.
This guy is hilarious. Maybe a bit OTT but you have to admit he's pretty entertaining and his food looks great
<3 Miguel!
any food with an accent of great along with a man with a great accent sounds good to me look forward to all his goodies.
hot spanish man, great food, great scenery..sounds like my perfect programme!
Bring it on - this looks fantastic. What amazing footage - love the look of the food, the view and the host aint bad either. Makes you want to pack your bags and head up north for a holiday to enjoy the tropical food and ambience. Here's hoping Miquel is a fun as he was in Boys Weekend...I'm sure he'll be 'funtastic'.
I can't wait for this show! Wow, Miguel is sooooooo hot, I just want to spend the rest of my life in the tropics with him! And I love his accent... and it looks like he's trimmed down a bit since Boy's Weekend... Mmmm, I just want to devour him... with a twist of something exotic of course!
