A Scotsman through and through, Jimmy discovered his inner Anglophile on Come Dine With Me Dundee
Jimmy might not look like he spends much time in the kitchen, but the feisty Scot is in no doubt that he's the best cook in the competition.
"My level of confidence that I'm going to win is... there are no words to describe it."
A burly man like Jimmy is no expert in aesthetics, so he's roped in his daughter to take care of the girly things like setting the table - and lighting the big rusty fire pit in the garden. Ah! There's nothing like a woman's touch.
Jimmy started the week with a bold statement that he doesn't think English people should move to Scotland, so imagine his surprise to find a new best friend in posho Adam, a man who couldn't get more English if he rode in on a dragon. In fact, the two have grown so close, Adam's brought his host a very special present - underwear.
"They're so cute," says Jimmy, holding up his new pants.
In these tricky economic times, canny cook Jimmy has some bargain ingredients up his sleeve, including using cut price chocolate: "They'll never know the difference!"
Other tips from Jimmy's kitchen include using Marmite to make gravy and sticking Angel Delight in the pudding mix. For extra impact, he's sculpting his main course into the shape of a set of bagpipes, threading green beans through carrots for the pipes and wrapping haggis in steak to make the bag.
It's a Scottish delicacy to start, Arbroath smokies and homemade soup.
Meat becomes a feast with Jimmy's minute steak, haggis white pudding and vegetables.
Unfortunately we can’t bring you Jimmy’s recipe for copyright reasons, but try this grilled black pudding recipe.
Say hello to calories with Jimmy's Scotch Delight (with Irish cream).
