A pleasure to watch
This is Jamie Oliver at his best; zooming around the UK on his scooter andknocking up some great dishes on a tight budget. There are some nice extrafeatures on this DVD and each recipe is quickly accessable from the mainmenu which is handy. Overal a very entertaining watch, with some goodpractical tips and lots of mouthwatering recipe ideas. Oh and one rathercute chef!

Good recipes shame about the presentation
I can only imagine that Jamie Oliver wrote the script for this himself. Provided you dont get irritated by the continual "take the old saucepan and chuck in the old wine and give it a stir with yer old wooden spoon etc etc" this is ok.

I bought it as it was so cheap. There are a couple of decent recipes and a couple of reasonable hints. Overall I was disappointed with this as it failed to meet my expectations being overly simplistic and (have I mentioned this already) having a very annoying presentation style.

Overall worth it for under a fiver but only just!

Jamie's worse
I think this DVD was produced in the period when Jamie Oliver was the hottest thing, and anything bearing his name sold. The DVD is short, not very exciting, and the food very simple and uninspiring...As much as I liked other ones by JO, I found this one a waste of time and money.
