2:40Boneless chicken thighs cook in a hot pan, with sliced ginger added under a lid.
6:33Briefly rehydrated rice noodles fry over sesame seeds to form a crispy disc.
8:24Grated cucumber, carrot and radish become a quick pickle with salt and lime juice.
25:18Frozen fish mix and microwaved spinach shorten preparation for the fish pie pasta bake.
36:24Partially cooked macaroni joins the fish sauce before extra cheese and a hot-grill finish.
38:22Watercress and endive get a dressing of lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil and honey.

Rice noodles go into a sesame-lined frying pan and come out as a crisp disc: Jamie Oliver's edible frisbee is the centrepiece of Channel 4 Food's new cooking upload. Alongside it are spiced chicken thighs, grated vegetable pickle and a mustard-and-lemon dipping sauce, all prepared against a running clock.

"Jamie Oliver's 20-Minute Fakeaway Masterclass | Jamie's 20 Minute Meals" is the channel's sole upload this week, drawing roughly 3,800 views. The continuous-take cooking leaves room for practical details: ginger steams alongside the chicken under a lid, curry paste supplies a shortcut, and coriander leaves get an iced-water refresh while the stems go into the sauce.

Then comes a second dinner, fish pie crossed with macaroni cheese. Frozen fish and spinach save preparation time; a shallow pan and a hot grill provide the browned top. It's less about elaborate shopping than getting familiar ingredients working together quickly.

The archive remains busier than the new arrival. Gordon Ramsay's Fish & Anchor visit, first shown in 2007, is the channel's strongest daily draw, followed by the Glass House restaurant episode. Channel-wide daily views are almost twice their usual level, although subscribers were unchanged over the week.

Among nearby-sized television channels, Battlestar Galactica had a particularly busy week, while Channel 9 and Glambot Official were quieter. Channel 4 Food drew more weekly views than most of that group, with Ramsay's restaurant troubles supplying the momentum and Oliver supplying the dinner ideas.
