Cucina smart con Jamie Oliver

(I think this is a good companion book to the Jamie's Ministry Of Food/Food Revolution-book; for us who want simple and towards-cheaper-end food, the two are essential, though MoF/FR is what I'd get first.) The focus of this book is on quality, tasty food on a budget (not the leanest budget, but p... Leggi tutto

Recipes are ok, the saving part? Well, not so much. I have a very comfortable income and this is about my Level of cooking and ingredients - to be more creative with your leftovers, yeah. Saving, as in, you're-living-on-the-breadling-saving? Hear me laugh.

Yet another addition to Jamie's cookery empire. Bought this for Mummy for her birthday as she asked for it, even though she often says that she doesn't have time to try out new recipes. So there's a fair few recipes that I'll try on her behalf... The concept of this book is quite good and sensible... Leggi tutto

I have a few cookbooks by Jamie Oliver. He's definitely my favourite chef, and I love watching all his cooking shows on TV. This book has some great recipes and interesting ideas. Definitely one I'd recommend if you're trying to cook on a budget, and especially if you want ideas for making takeaw... Leggi tutto

I think this is week three of 'Save with Jamie'. We started with the Mothership Roast Pork for week one, then the Roast Chicken and this week the Brisket of Beef, and really, it has helped streamline the shopping budget. One of his key tenets is that you cook a roast on the Sunday and then use le... Leggi tutto

I love Jamie, he can do no wrong and I'll buy pretty much anything he writes. We've already used the Roast Chicken recipe and one of the leftover recipes that go with it. The whole idea is very useful, especially as we're a family that have been stuck in the rut of using its leftovers in their or... Leggi tutto

Not good. Out of all the Jamie books I felt cheated when this title arrived from Amazon. If you can cook or have even the slightest ideas about recipes and food in general, stay away from this one (Jamie Oliver has plenty good cookbooks better than this one). Not a good moment in my Jamie fan exp... Leggi tutto

Is it weird to sit down and read a cook book? I'm not sure, but either way this volume contains great tips for eating well on a low budget (and obviously gives some great recipes, as well - all of my family are huge Jamie Oliver fans, the food is always so good). I also loved how this book contai... Leggi tutto

Al twintig jaar let ik op de kleintjes. Niet dat dit erg is, ik hou van het leven en geniet elke dag weer van lekker eten. Ondertussen ben ik er achter dat je met kruiden en oliën best lang doet. Ook kun je veel dingen als ze goedkoop zijn blancheren en in de diepvries bewaren, of chutney's van m... Leggi tutto

I drooled over the recipes, and copied out more than a few (particularly some creative vegetarian or otherwise vegetable-based recipes), but the book does not accomplish its goal: saving me money. First, there are very few tips beyond the obvious - actually, there were very few tips, period. Seco... Leggi tutto
