Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life (Hardcover)

Great TV series, great book I think Mr.Oliver has hit on a real winning combination in his new TV series - great recipes combined with handy beginner-gardener hints, and THANK GOD nice calm camera work that doesn't leave you feeling seasick and smacking the channel-change button after two minutes! This book is a great companion to the series, even if you don't have endless supplies of your own line of (expensive!) pans, olive oil delivered to your door by the tanker-load, and your own wood-fired blast furnace in the garden :-) I never dreamed anyone would convince me to try making my own pasta, or to squeeze the meat out of sausages to make meatballs, but he has... and yes, it was fun!

A Cross between Gardners' World & Egon Rone I like this book. The information on how to grow veg is brilliant and makes me want to have a go, and I'm not a green fingered person at all. I made the Eggy Breakfast Crumpets for my husband one lunchtime (It's the only Piece of "crumpet" he's allowed at home!), and it's one of the quickest, easiest and economical things to make and can be used as a meal for any time of the day. My three year old twins took an interest to it and I made a total of eight crumpets for breakfast the following morning, omitting the chilli, using bacon and sausage and my daughter polished off nearly three of them! What a successfull recipe. We are looking forward to trying some more recipes very soon.

A great buy, and good fun. I bought this book as I had been watching the TV series. The recipes are great and very easy and if you don't have any of the ingredients, I have missed a few things out and it still tasted great. The book itself is a lovely thing to have too, great graphics and Jamie has written about all of the veg he grows too, which has encouraged me to start my own patch. And that is quite something as I am not good as growing things!! He's made it really easy to understand and not too off putting!. A great book.

Jamie at Home: Cook your way to the Good Life. FANTASTIC - get this book and the dvd set and it is all you will ever need. Good healthy food - everyday ingredients - readily available if you cannot manage to grow your own - do try it is worth it - FANTASTIC - 12 stars.

A book to treasure Jamie Oliver has excelled himself in this beautiful book. It's more than just recipes and photographs of the finished dishes, I was totally immersed in Jamie's world from start to finish. As a cookery book it's first class, but it's so much more besides.
