4 out of 5 stars Ministry of Food   November 26, 2008
Jamie's Ministry of Food is a book teaching you how to cook. I really enjoyed it and have started to cook by myself as well. It changed me a lot, especially for the one who rarely cook by herself. and it is easy to learn too, I never thought cooking could be that easy and enjoyable. Now I love cooking, and by watching all the dishes I finished, I'm so proud.

I have this book with a couple of months now and felt it unreasonable to post a review until I had tried some of the recipes.Well the time has come so here goes.

I'm delighted to own this book and I feel I will be using it on a regular basis for years to come. This book goes into detail with many of the questions I would be embarrassed to ask and the other cookbooks presume we know. Jamie takes us from the simple how to boil an egg to some exquisite stews,roasts and pies and for the more adventurous among us some paellas and curry dishes. Jamie makes it look easy and with this book for guidance it is easy. Well done Jamie Oliver and thank you.

I got this book with the aim of getting my 14 year old to cook, however my husband hasn't put it down yet and he has made nearly every recipe in the book. We needed to change the way we ate and this book has given loads of ways to do that. (In fact it was exactly the kick up the bum we needed to get away from ready made meals etc.)
Jamie, I want to thank you for writing this book!
Oh and I have given it away as a present... does that count for the pass it on???



2 out of 5 stars Nice Idea, some of the recipes are very bland.   November 21, 2008

I enjoyed the TV programme and as I'm somewhat of a basic cook I decided to try the book. The book is well written and the recipes are very easy to follow, only problem is the taste! I've tried about six of the main courses and in there original state without adding extras, they're extremely bland. Would recommend "Can't Cook Want to Learn" if your a beginner and its much cheaper.


5 out of 5 stars This is one I'll buy for friends   November 20, 2008

I hesitated for a while over buying this because I'm actually quite a decent cook and I own a lot of cook books already. I eventually bought it in the hopes that it would give me some good ideas for routine day to day meals and I was not disappointed. I particularly enjoyed the section on salads where the principle of salad construction and dressings are explained and the section on curries as these are something I've only bought as ready meals or take-aways before.

I'm definitely going to buy more copies of this book for friends who are less able cooks than I am as I'm confident they can pick up lots of basics from this.
