Advantages: Easy to follow

Disadvantages: Will now have to spend forever in the kitchen making his recipes!

Jamie Oliver is someone I have watched on TV with someone intrepidation so I was delighted when I was given this book as a Christmas present. It has proved to be a great bonus in the kitchen!
The book is well presented, the photographs make it easy to see if you are doing what you are meant to be doing (lets face it, the end result doesn't always look like the picture!) and the recipes are easy to follow. I have found that the dishes are incredibly cheap to make - I made the lasagne last weekend for less than £5 and it fed us for 2 days! I did have a disaster with the beef wellington as the pasty gave way in the oven and left me with alot of mess to clean up!
The pasta dishes are quick and easy made, the curries that I have tried (Rogan Josh and Tikka Masala) are better and tastier than any takeaway I have had and the satisfaction of making it yourself... well...
I would recommend this book to anyone, its no nonsense language and instructions make cooking easier - it is inspiring!

Summary: Brilliant - for competent cooks and wannabes alike
