Book Reviews of Cook with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook
Book Review: The best, simplist book of Jamie Oliver so far
Summary: 5 Stars
All though all of Jamie's books are good, there were all complicated to follow. There were to many this and that's and the ingredients were expensive. But now, as the book says; this helps you become a better cook. The ingredients are easy to get; they are simple things like common vegetables and meats that are not too expensive. The book is easy to follow, the foods are simple yet different in their own little ways, and still lovely.
Maybe some people that have loved Jamie's past books will be slightly disappointed with this one, but I wouldn't have thought so. This book is for new coming cooks that want to prepare a meal for any number of people. Jamie concentrates on everything in this book, loads of different food types: meaty main courses, desserts, veggie meals and even how to make simple fruit and veg better to eat.
I am now third of the way through this book (I haven't cooked everything) and all of the meals that I have followed in this book so far are excellent. The really important thing is that the recipes turn out just like the pictures provided, they are that simple to follow that they are always just like what they are supposed to look and taste like.
I would recommend this book to ANY inexperienced cook, or even a experienced one. This book is fantastic, even though the recipes are simple, and the food is not expensive, the meals are brilliant. This is to improve your everyday food, and there are even some tips on the techniques of making the food. This book is one of my best cooking guides. A must buy.
9.5/10
Book Review: Jamie the king Oliver
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally a cook book that you can relate too, it's good for imaginative everyday cooking. With not too much hassle you can whip together some very tasty eating for the whole family.
Not only this but it also allows you to be creative in your own way as the recipes are flexible, you can integrate your own ideas and become your own naked chef.
HATS OFF TO JAMIE ONCE AGAIN, Thanks for making me a great cook!!!
xxxxxxxxxx
Book Review: Simply fantastic........
Summary: 5 Stars
I do not own one book by Jamie Oliver as I have never found them interesting........until now.
If you want to know how to cook then this book is a must, if you can cook then this book is a must!
The recipes are so simple yet fun to make and a pleasure to eat.
Wound through the recipe pages are tips on how to cook various food items, how to choose you meat and vegetables and most impotantly how to marry foods together.
This is a fantastic book that now sits proudly alongside my Tessa Kiros and Nigella books, another that not only looks good and reads like a novel but also has dishes that are simply inspiring and taste fantastic!!
Book Review: Excellent BUT it is to do with the FIFTEEN TV show!
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with all the 5 * reviews but think that it is very important to emphasise that this book is Oliver's FIFTEEN restaurant tie in and the TV show of the same name!Book Review: Top Nosh
Summary: 5 Stars
Love him or loathe him, Jamie's seventh book is a real treat in that it goes back to basics without being patronising or too basic for more experienced cooks. It covers all the basics, from salads to main courses and deserts; explaining how best to shop and prepare ingredients in a clear, no-nonsense manner. The recipes tried so far look like the pictures and taste great. I defy anyone not to read this book without feeling inspired!!!!!!!
