Since we last wrote on Jan. 28th, Ion Life has taken, The Urban Peasant off the air. It has been three weeks but it seems like months because we miss watching James Barber. We hope his DVD comes out soon…

Mark n I were great fan of Urban Peasent. We watched his show everyday together. He will be missed just tonight i thought of him when i waz cooking dinner. He said you have to love what your cookig; watched him enjoy is cooking how careful he cut the meat and veggies and how well he was with cooking and baking. I will always remember him and his kitchen. I miss him but know he is at a real good place. missed by Mark n Darlene Chehalis, BC

We just started watching, The Urban Peasant the last couple of months. at 1:30 a.m pacific time, on Ion Life 30.3 in the USA. We just love James Barber, he has his own way of cooking that we enjoy so much. His tips that he gave, we have tried and they have always worked…like the cutting of a cucumber to make it look pretty, as he says. We get one new show once a week, and it reruns everyday during that week. He makes us laugh that we can watch the reruns over and over…we just love James Barber. We are daughter and mother and love to cook together and thanks to James Barber we are having more fun when we cook because we try his ways.

James Barber lives on in my kitchen. I have taken many of his wonderful quirky sayings and use them regularly, like, “Never apologize for your cooking.” and “Bung it in the oven.” I am delighted to learn that James is being aired on ION and record him to watch when I can. When someone asks, “Where did you learn to cook?”, I always tell them, from James Barber.

Para manuel canul: Acabo de conocer a James Barber a través de su programa de cocina en la tele… Me pareció muy talentoso y con mucho sentido del humor. Pero, leyendo la información de este website, me enteré que él falleció en el 2007. Pero como todo gran talento, su contribución continua influyendo nuevas generaciones, como a mí. Ojalá que continuen mostrando su programa en la TV. Gracias, James Barber.

hi!
i watched james’ show last sunday and wanted to try his recipe that included apricots, spinach and red peppers over pasta.
i only just learned that he is no longer with us.
my prayers to his family.
i love to cook and he inspired me.
