I checked this cookbook out from my library and I LOVED it. I personally love Jamie Oliver's cookbooks and think he is one of the best celebrity chef's around. This cookbook was great because the recipes were something I could see myself making and my family eating. The book is riddled with tons of great photos (I love photos to recipes) and lots of tips and easy instructions. I might have to actually purchase this one now because of how much I loved it.

We, hubby and me, love Jamie Oliver and are trying more and more of his recipes. Have decided as a new years resolution to do more cooking of new recipes together in weekend days... This cookbook is full of elementary great recipes, pastas, chicken, beef, soups, fish, etc. etc. We are actually trying his "Ultimate onion soup" this evening. Last week we tried his rib-eye stir fry & dan dan noodles, which was an adventure in itself! I love it that he uses so much fresh herbs, learnt a lot about that, and lost my fear of chillies which he uses a lot as well. Now overcome my anchovis fear. As Jamie says ... 'And Bob's your uncle'! :-)

I think this is his earlier work. It was okay, but didn't really inspire me.

OK, it's not a real book, per se. But it's a wonderful cookbook. Great ideas. That chopped salad is great and his story is interesting too.

Another fab Jamie Oliver cookbook. A tad more basic that his newer books but I love it because my kids love looking through and straight away are attracted by the photography and I get many 'I want that one' or ' can we have this for dinner tonight'. I am always cooking with my teenagers so the imagery is also very inspiring - although our creations often aren't presented anywhere near as good as what we see, but they don't care as they made it.

Recipes as always are easy to follow and understand and with a decent store cupboard many of them are very affordable.

Everything I've made from this book turns out well. More than that, I want to make pretty much everything in it. Great simple tasty food.

This is probably my most frequented cookbook - my husband is British, so he likes most of the recipe styles... but there are many international dishes. Tons of great recipes. I still haven't tried everything I'd like to... but there are plenty that I make over and over.
