Jamie's Kitchen - Jamie Oliver

WHAT IS IT? Jamie's Kitchen is the cookery book written to accompany the Channel 4 TV Series of the same name. The series was broadcast last year and followed the trials and tribulations of Jamie Oliver training 15 unemployed young people to become chefs and open and run a restaurant.

This book was scanned and sent to me via email - I know, I know copyright and all that! Brilliant is how I would describe it - impressed many people at dinner parties and the cooking is so easy!
