Jamie Oliver

I'm back in love with Jamie Oliver! We kind of fell out over 'Jamie's Ministry of Food', the TV series tackling obesity in Rotherham, mostly spent patronising fat working-class people in a Northern town because they preferred their chips over tapas, a rather cheap shot from Britain's favourite chef. I'm sure he didn't mean it that way but the people that put the show together probably did. The whole exercise, at the time, seemed less about helping the people of Britain's fattest city lose weight through healthy eating but more about selling copies of his preceding recipe book for fat people from northern towns. It was a good idea in practice, teaching a small group ...  Read the complete review

I see Jamie Oliver isn't that popular on dooyoo, but I really do like him. I bought his Italian cook book (Jamies Italy, 2005) after a month touring Italy. I had a few recipe book before then but had never been very interested in cooking. But here was a book with recipes that were easy to follow, using ingrediants that you can actually buy at your local supermarket, and that always turned out good results! His pizza dough is perfect, and for months I would only make pasta fresh! I thoroughly recommend his hand made meatballs too. I also bought 'Cook With Jamie' and have used it to cook 2 fantastic Christmas dinners. It's a great guide to cooking ...  Read the complete review

The Jaime Oliver Flavour Shaker We all know and love Jamie Oliver, the award winning Naked Chef, star of Jamie's school dinners and successful restaurants, books and cookery programmes.

A pestle and mortar grind ingredients together to make a nice paste or marinade but it a very labour intensive way of mixing, requires quite a bit of strength and makes a lot of mess. The flavour shaker looks quite like a salt and pepper shaker and allows you to put ...  Read the complete review

I can't stand the man, cannot stand the man!!! I think everyone knows who he is? He's a 30-something blonde headed chef with big lips and bad morals. Who reffers to himself as the naked chef (I wonder why??) My dislike of Jamie stems from that one incident in Italy when he slit a fully concious lambs throat. He was out there filming Jamies Great Escape, he was living with a family who asked him to kill the lamb, at first Oliver was saying 'Oh no govnor, not me I dunno how'ter'. Having said that he still plucked the terrifed lamb from her family, shoved a bag over her head held her upside down by her legs and slit her throat, all while ...  Read the complete review
