I love this guy!

This was my breakthrough in learning to cook.

Pork with Pear & Potatoes and Risotto with Prawns, Peas & Lemon Juice are still amongst my favourite staple recipes.

From the days when he wasn't a multi millionaire !
I think one of his appealing points was he made cooking look like fun, not a serious business.
Rather like Keith Floyd did as an older version.

Ate adaptations of most of these recipes when I had a vegan roommate who also cooked everyday.

A book with rather basic recipes for kitchen newbies. Being an avid food fan, I prefer Oliver's later books as there is much more for me to explore.

It's an OK cookbook. Nothing made from it is going to be bad. Nothing is likely to be spectacular either.
Jamie Oliver just sort of works my last nerve, so it's hard for me to like his books.

A great cookbook. Jamie's the best.

A cook book that reads like a biography - this is a must for anyone who loves to cook looking for new inspiration. Everything in the book is simple but amazing food. Oliver removed my fear of - and gave me my love of - making home made breads and pastas in this book... and my friends and I will forever be greatfull.

Sustained me from 2001 onwards. With his wacky videos aired on free tv in SG too! Learned everything i know on how to cook from this guy. He is fab.

Boring.

We have this in our monster collection of cookbooks. I skimmed it when we first recieved it and haven't looked in it since. I mostly just use the same 4 cookbooks all the time. Last year, we had an online subscription to 'Cooks Illustrated' and used that some. Hopefully one day we'll actually get around to it.
