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…
I love that man.
I really liked the Jamie at home series as well - very casual, simple recipes.
OMG! I looove this cookbook. When his book came out last year, I bought it from Amazon.uk. I can’t wait for Spring to start my garden. I’m planting lots veggies for all the yummy recipes.
I feel so out of the loop without the Food Network! I really liked the look of the ‘beans 3 ways’… must be the snow outside telling me to hunker down with some beans.
This is my favorite book of his and my favorite series. I agree with your on the look of the book, isn’t it great? Love the feel and look of it.
