Jamie Olivers most recent cookbook Cook with Jamie was probably one of the most popular gifts under the Christmas tree in 2006. In my family alone we had three copies between ten of us.
The reason I love the book so much is because of its simplicity and explanations on basic food knowledge. Before picking up the book I had no idea what part of the cow different pieces of beef came from but the simple diagrams show this in a way that even young children can understand. Similar drawings of lamb, a pig, a chicken and a duck are also included to help you get a better understanding of what youre eating.
My favourite recipe from the book is mini roast potatoes with rosemary, garlic, onions and mushrooms. I try to cook this at least once a week with a nice piece of meat and some veggies, this goes down an absolute treat with the family.
A quote from Jamie Oliver: I cant tell you how long Ive dreamt about writing this book. Its the biggest book Ive ever done, and Ive really tried to make it a timeless, modern-day classic.
