Advantages: Easy to follow recipes, with pictures!

Disadvantages: Fiddly ingredients at times

I've never been what you would call a "good" cook so when I saw this book I had to buy it. I watched the series on television and thought it was fantastic - the food is somewhat basic but with a typical Jamie Oliver twist.

The book teaches you everything from a basic casserole to chicken with posh ham, curries to pies. It takes you right back to basics with how to chop ingredients and how to mix. Right through to how to create curry pastes. I have made the sizzlying chilli beef many times with great success.

The recipes are easy to follow and the pictures are fantastic to show you what your creation is meant to look like.

Jamie Oliver's recipes do tend to contain a lot of "fiddly" ingredients that you are supposed to contain in your store cupboard, but somehow I never do. However, this does not put me off attempting them.

I would definitely recommend this book for beginners and more experienced cooks alike as it contains something for everyone.

Summary: Great book for anybody who burns toast
