Customer Reviews

A great family kitchen basic
Having already owned two previous Jamie books I thought I'd try this to inspire some family mealtimes. This one is great! Far better in my opinion than some other family recipe books as nearly every page has a great idea, and unusally something I think the whole family will be happy with, as I often think that my 3 and 4 year old won't go for some of the more grown up style recipes in other family cookbooks.

Jamie works his kitchen magic once again. A great buy!

Jamie's best
Considering I have yet to read his latest book, I rate this book to be Jamie's best. It' comprehensible and easy to follow, it's full of tempting, healthy, colorful meals that you'll love to serve to your family or friends. It's written in Jamie's characteristic style of writing, which makes reading about a dish funny even if you end up actually cooking something else.

Many of the recipes, like the tomato sauce, have become classics in my kitchen. I use this book every week - hands down. Highly recommended!

Good but not fab
Got this as a present and was really looking forward to getting stuck in, but I just can't find anything I want to cook, it all takes so much time, I'm opting for Nigella's express book next- hopefully that will have something you can realistically cook after a long day at work!!
