YUMMMM. Jamie Oliver presents more authentic Italian cuisine (a relieving departure from Americanized ethnic cookbooks) without pretension to being the authoritative "last word" in Italian food. The recipes are a mix of the simple and the complex, providing a range of meal possibilities that can actually be used in daily cooking.
Like Jamie Oliver's take on food - usually simple and tasty. These recipes, although very authentic Italian, may be a little more labour intensive. But definitely delicious! http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/1...
How can you not love Jamie Oliver? From his pinchable cheeks to his amazing food to his food politics - he's got it all. I really admire what Jamie has done for the sustainable food movement: he focuses on local, sustainable food without hitting you over the head with his politics. The food and the photography in Jamie's Italy is something special. I just can't say enough good things about this guy. Jamie, are you listening?
I really love all Jamie's books, the egg-free tiramisu recipe is the main reason I love this book (which I've made countless times). Some of the other recipes are a little too rustic for my personal taste.
