Review:

We here at FabulousFoods.com have long been fans of Jamie Oliver’s engaging and inspiring laid back style. His previous books have made fine food fun and accessible to average cooks.

With this humongous guide, he takes the concept further than ever before, giving readers a complete cooking tutorial a la Oliver. Whether you are brand new to cooking, or an experienced cook looking to add new skills to your repertoire, you’ll find lots of inspiration in these pages.

Of course there are lots of great Jamie Oliver recipes in this book – 160 in all from his famous Fifteen restaurants, but it’s about much more than that. Within the text and tons of photos in these pages, Jamie is giving you the secrets to becoming a better cook, no matter what you are preparing. You’ll learn tips, tricks, and techniques that you will carry through life, transforming ordinary meals into extraordinary feasts that will wow anyone lucky enough to consume them.

Jamie Oliver has said he considers the book a prequel to his 6 other wildly successful titles. He hopes to get readers to think about shopping and cooking in ways they might not have considered before. Jamie, who is known for intermixing his enthusiasm for food with his commitment “to give something back” to the industry, is donating every cent earned from the sale of Cook with Jamie to the Fifteen Foundation, which he started with the goal of helping and inspiring disadvantaged young people to start a career for themselves in the restaurant and catering industries.

Chapters Include: Salads; Pasta, Gnocci and Risotto; Meat; Fish; Vegetables; Desserts; Some Bits and Bobs.
