Making A Meal of Things Has Previously Helped One of Ainsley’s Fans With The Grieving Process. This Helps Highlight The Power of Diversity & Inclusion, Self-Care & Relaxation. And Everyone Finding Their Own Thing That Works For Them.
TO.P: We Loved Ainsley’s Caribbean Kitchen It Was So Good. ITV Are Actually Re-Running It Now. As of Last Week.
AH: People Loved It. I Get So Many Comments About It. From Different People From The Different Caribbean Islands Who Loved Their Particular Homeland Being Featured In A Particular Episode. And Non-Caribbean People Too. It Was A Dream Come True.
We Here At TO.P Have Watched The Series A Number of Times (ITV, ITV 2, The Food Network) And The End of The Series With The Production Company’s Surprise Highlights Gets Us Everytime. It’s A Real Tear Jerker Which You Don’t See Coming From A Cooking Programme.
It Is Literally Some of The Best Television Ever Made In The History of Television. No Exaggeration. One Reason It Was So Well Received Is Because It Was Broadcast During Lockdown When There Was Not A Lot of Joy Around. This Series Is Just Tropical, Joyful, Soulful And Educational. We Utterly Recommend It (Available On ITV Hub).
In Fact The Power of Good Television Was Highlighted By A Young Man Who Attended Ainsley’s Talk In May 2022, At The British Library, Who During The Q & A Session Shared That He Was Recently So Grief Stricken At The Loss of A Loved One He Could Not Function. The Only Thing That Brought Him Back Around Was Watching Ainsley’s Cooking Programmes On The Television. And He Said He Found Humour In A lot of Ainsley’s Idiosyncratic Sayings.
Clearly Ainsley’s Cooking Style Is Not Just A Tonic For The Body But Also A Tonic For The Mind And Mental Health. This Is Clear First Hand Evidence of The Power of Quality Television And Diversity & Inclusion.
The Black & White Photo Above Is Ainsley Takin’ A Moment For The Mental Health Campaign artoflondon (Their Exhibition This Year Is In Association With Piccadilly Lights). May Is Mental Health Awareness Month In The USA & In The UK Mental Awareness Week This Year Was May 10th -16th. The Take A Moment Campaign Exhibited In London’s Piccadilly Circus & At The Piccadilly’s Burlington Arcade For A Month Before That (March – April 2022). Members of The Public Are Still Also Invited To Upload Selfies As They Take A Moment Too.
The Audience Member Also Asked Ainsley To Tell The Story of How His Greeting “Well Hello Jill” Became A Meme, Because He Found It So Funny. It Was When Ainsley Was Doing An Outside Broadcast For ITV’s This Morning A Few Years Ago With Alison Hammond. He Was Trying To Raise The Energy & Enthusiasm Levels of A Senior Viewer Who Was Given A Surprise Visit By The Show And Suffice To Say It Took A While. https://theorator.press/events-dear-boy-events-ainsley-shares-his-chef-journey-as-part-of-the-food-season-at-the-british-library-may-2022/
Recalling The Contribution From This Male Member of The Audience Member Is Pretty Pertinent As Next Month Sees Mental Health Awareness Day, Monday October 1oth Annually, And His Tale Highlights The Importance of Humour, Positivity & Authenticity. All of Which He Found By The Simple Act of Watch Ainsley Cooking & Being Himself.
And We Had To Ask, How The Big Man Manages To Look So Good On The Outside At 65 As Well As Keeping A Positive Mind. The Answer Was Good Food And Good Moisturisation – Including The Help of Good Old Vaseline. Amen!
