In the final episode of Jamie Cooks Spring, Jamie Oliver concludes his culinary journey through the seasons, showcasing sustainable and seasonal produce. This episode, airing on Channel 4 on Sunday, May 13, 2024, at 8:00 pm, celebrates the freshest ingredients of spring and anticipates the upcoming summer harvest.
Jamie begins by planting potatoes for the summer, a fitting start to an episode filled with springtime delights. He then prepares a mouthwatering dish of Jersey Royal potatoes, expertly dressed with wild garlic pesto and accompanied by a beautifully stuffed salmon—a true celebration of the season’s offerings.
The culinary adventure continues with a super-simple broad bean mezze, a testament to Jamie’s ability to create delicious meals from the simplest ingredients.

For the main course, Jamie prepares a spatchcocked roast chicken, a technique that ensures juicy, flavourful meat. And to conclude this springtime feast, he presents a spectacular rhubarb and custard tart. This dessert is a true showstopper, with almond pastry and almond brittle adding that extra crunch and flavour.
