My autistic son is a major fan of James Barber and has been asking me for DVDs of this wonderful man’s show ever since his show stopped appearing on TV. Does anyone know if DVDs exist and can be purchased? I’d love to surprise my son for Christmas.

Here I am back again. Missing this guy, wish they would air his shows again, so many folks a missing what he had to offer.
Guess we’ll have salmon with mango this weekend thanks to Mr. Barber. Oh James, I still love that loft!

What a great guy! I used to watch his tv show in 1996-1997, when it was aired in my country, Chile. I learned so much about cooking from him then… He showed me how fun it can be, and easy! I am very happy to have this new website, because now that I am newlywed I can cook while I make his recipes and practice his tips in the kitchen.

These videos on the Web are just great. I have been missing James Barber, the Urban Peasant, so much. While I have many of his books, there is just something about seeing him that is so relaxing and soothing…inspiring as well. Thank you so much for making them available.

I miss James! I’ve been watching him since I was a little kid! He got me interested in cooking.

When are you posting the next video?

I get hungry when I think of you, Oh James is what I can still here, God I loved that show the food he cooked and after work I looked forward to watching his show. I miss that type of program and may GOD bless him always.

I really like the new layout of the site. Salmon with Mango will be on my list of dinners to prepare next week. If any of these larger broadcasting stations had any wits about them, they’d pick up the show and air it midday. I know lots of people who just despise the cooks on TV now. I’ve pulled up a couple of clips of The Urban Peasant and voila, you have people smiling and getting energized about cooking for themselves. Again, love the new site and the updated content!

Just started watching James Barber on this new channel from the Dtv conversion, it is called ION Life, he always comes on late at night around midnite or one am. I started searching for his receipes, and discovered he is deceased, what a loss to the cooking world. I just love his talking and presentations. He cooks very healthy foods, I will be buying his cook books. Oh yes I am in the Sacramento area, good luck finding the ION channel. Peace and Love, All the Best!
