I love pasta. I can eat it everyday and be happy. This book is full of great pasta recipes. I have now prepared all of them and they are all winners! I also made the roasted beets this summer and it was to die for. Even those who think they don't like beets would probably love Jamie's recipe.
I'm now starting on some of the starters and snacks.
My favorite and only cookbook. I love the ravioli with ricotta cheese and pine nuts and basil. Also I've made the pot roast with peaches and sunchokes, which taste like really savory potatoes. Its delicious slathered in peach juice. Yummy.
Easy to prepare recipes that taste great. Fresh, simple cuisine with Mediterranean influences. Casual elegance and healthy food that is purely delicious. I used to cook from this book all the time in the early 2000s; really enjoying rediscovering it now.
Although Jamie is adorable and his recipes are lovely/easy, I found it somehow obnoxious that all receipes imitated his actual way of speaking - casual, choppy, a little too cute.
