5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy, child-friendly meals,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jamie's Dinners (Hardcover)
I saw the last two episodes of the television series with my children and then bought this book. We were horrified to discover what was actually served in their school dinners - especially the chicken nuggets. Aged 12 and 7, they have enjoyed reading the book and choosing recipes for meals. So far we have tried five of the fish recipes, three pasta recipes and the roast chicken. They have all been hugely successful and easy to prepare. The book contains a great section on 5 minute meals - ideal for busy families when you still want to serve something healthy. The kids loved the Pasta Bianco and roast chicken, and, to my surprise, thoroughly enjoyed the fish ratatouille and salmon and couscous. I have substituted some of the ingredients with low fat alternatives, and they still taste great. This is a lovely, encouraging book, great for families and cooks who are not overly-confident. I think Jamie Oliver deserves a medal for bringing the appalling content of school dinners to the nation's attention and for showing a workable, healthy alternative. This book has helped make my children more interested in the food they eat at school and at home. Thank you Jamie Oliver!

I love this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jamie's Dinners (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book. It is probably the only cook book I have come across where I have actually cooked the vast majority of recipes in it and I love them all! Highlights include the Lasagne (a twist on the classic), burger and chips, tray baked salmon and the chicken tikka masala is amazing. Even the salads are fab and there are so many recipes in this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cooking simple meals with lots of fresh ingredients. I love this book!

Nice and simple,

This review is from: Jamie's Dinners (Hardcover)
This was the first cook book I'd ever bought for myself, usually I'd have used an old one that was lying around the house, or one of my girlfriends or a recipe of the net, but I decided it was about time I got one for myself. For me, as a novice cook I found the book easy to follow and easy to understand. He uses ingredients and terminology that I've heard of and that I could easily pick up in a local supermarket. I've only had the book a while and I've already tried quite a few of the recipes with quite a lot of success! The book itself is split up into several sections, including salads, soups, vegetables, five minute wonders, (meal for one) pasta, meat, fish and desserts. Jamie also outlines recipes for his top ten, which includes roast chicken, fish and chips and apple pie. I felt the book was very useful, helpful and gave me confidence to try some variations on what was written in it. I'd recommend it for first timers like myself and I'm sure more experienced cooks might gain something from his approach and style to cooking.
