Jamie at Home (4)

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

jamie at home Jamie Oliver’s new book, Jamie at Home, was waiting for me when I got home last night.  And after a quick flip through, I know it’s going to become one of my favourite cookbooks.  Part gardening manual and part recipe book - Jamie shows how satisfying it can be to not only cook for yourself, but to grow your own veggies.

I’m also starting to like his recipe style  too - no calorie counts or breakdowns, just quality ingredients.  He lets you decide if you should splurge on that apple crumble or not.

And the photos.  Swoon.  The whole book is printed on this lovely matte paper which gives the whole book a sort of wholesome feel.  (Much like Super Natural Cooking.)  The cover too is oddly reminiscent of a cookbook your grandmother probably had.  The whole thing is just lovely from cover to cover.   Now, to start cooking…
