Simple and straightforward recipes, presented in a logical way. No faff ideas , which don’t require loads of time or tricky technique. Practical , real life doable and economical, brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully illustrated, excellent recipes with air fryer cooking options on selected recipes

B. · 27 September 2024

Excellent book in my opinion, great recipes from very easy to more complex but the steps are explained extremely well. Love that some recipes have the air fryer cooking option too. Great inspiration for easy every day meals but very tasty meals from scratch in super quick time. The pasta sauces are brilliant! Equally good are the easy ice cream ideas too, even entertaining becomes so much easier, thrilled with this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jamie simply aiming, as always...

...‘to fit more cooking into your life, with total ease.’And that neatly sums this new book up for me, and I will need a new shelf on my kitchen bookcase to house it, when it is not in use! Of course, these days, so much is online in advance of that chunky hardback hitting the doormat, but I look forward to delivery day, in any case...and today is the day!There are plenty of titles with the hint of ‘fast & simple food’, but there is that laid-back feeling when it is good old J.O., as is seen in his TV presenting style...ever encouraging.IMO, this latest offering is a cleanly presented, colourful volume packed with generally achievable recipes, with some tweaks on old + a fair bit of ‘cheating’, aka ‘short-cutting’, if you have the budget to cope with the various jars & tins.n.b. 5 everyday staple ingredients are assumed, and NOT included in the individual recipe ingredient list, namely:~ OLIVE OIL~ EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL~ RED WINE VINEGAR~ SEA SALT~ BLACK PEPPERThe usual equipment list is covered in the introduction, including some suggested desirables to speed the process up.The current stock image above for ‘Jarred Pepper Pasta’, pages 14 & 15, gives an idea of the layout and I am sure that the ‘READ SAMPLE’ will be along in a while.ooOoo~ Simply Jamie: Fast & Simple Food’~ 'Dedicated to Bill Granger'~ Photography by David Loftus~ Design by James VerityMeasuring around 19.5 cm x 2.75 cm x 25 cm, the front cover is less startling to the eye than last year’s5 IngredientsBuilt to endure life in the kitchen, the simple but fresh looking green, black & white hardback cover, with a shiny silver finish to the fork, opens to 288 good quality pages, split over main chapters: (1) MIDWEEK MEALS (pg 10 - 81) (2) WEEKEND WINS (pg 82 - 149) (3) TRUSTY TRAYBAKES (pg 150 - 185) (4) CUPBOARD LOVE (pg 186 - 231) (5) PERFECT PUDS (pg 232 - 267)A black fabric ribbon is attached to keep your place.The publication can be persuaded to stay open at the chosen pages, in my experience, although that pud section can be more stubborn!Each chapter is simple in the opening with a casual shot of Jamie with one of his ‘finished dishes’ (for the main part), followed by a chatty introduction, such as ‘My Weekly Poached Chicken’ (pages 84 & 85) that fronts several recipes.With bold titles, the text is clear in black throughout, except for the ‘Weekend Wins’ section, which reverses the trend with a handful of recipes in white on a dark background, perhaps a touch more tricky to read if the light is poor.Uniform in the presentation, again for the best part, the recipe with numbered steps is on the left-hand page with a colourful picture of the completed dish on the right-hand page; the latter occasionally a step-by-step, such as ‘Reliable Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’, on pages 260 & 261 & ‘Secret Veg Sauce’, on pages 140 & 141 that encourages batch cooking. There is the occasional montage, e.g. ‘8 Cool Ways with Salmon’, on page 29 and ‘Easiest Ice Cream’ (no-churn) from the puds section including some choc-heavy recipes, dedicated to wife, Jools*!Shorter recipes, such as ‘Chicken Open Sandwich’ & ‘Chicken Bun’, are on one page (102 & 103).'8 Delicious Dressings' are pictured across a double-page spread (pages 40 & 41) with the recipes overleaf.~ Swaps, including ‘Veggie’, are usefully included when appropriate, along with ‘Air Fryer It’, where relevant.The book winds up with Jamie with a cuppa, just after the usual back section, which includes:~ ‘Simply Helpful Kitchen Notes’~ ‘Notes about nutrition, balance,…’~ ‘Simply Thanks’The 11-page alphabetical index is up next, followed by the full list of J.O. cookery titles to date + the publisher detail.To echo what the great chef regularly says on camera~ ‘It is a beautiful thing’I simply love it...and that intriguing shot of the (flourless) ‘Decadent Chocolate Cake’, on page 245, has really caught my eye!*As is mentioned in the chat that is ‘Hero: Chocolate Cake’, on pages 242 & 243, Jools is definitely not the only ‘chocolate-obsessed human’!But...remaining on the sweet side, that 'Hot & Crispy Ice Cream Parcel', from pages 230 & 231, is on my menu tonight, using up the last one of those large tortillas that is indeed lurking at the bottom of my bread basket, as mentioned in 'Saving Tortillas'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Full of good ideas

R.T. · 11 October 2024

Really good ideas and they do not break the bank with ingredients. Easy to follow instructions. I have knocked one star off as I would have liked to see if meals could be frozen as I cook for one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book

M. · 13 October 2024

Have to be honest, I'm not a great fan of JO, I do have a few of his books and most I don't use. But this one is actually one of the better ones. I watched the channel 4 series and liked the recipes so I went on to the internet but then ordered the book. The recipes are good, use store cupboard items and I have made a few dishes from the book. They are well presented with most dishes accompanied by pictures. May be the recipes are to my taste but I think this is one of his best books so a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jamie at his best….again!

Good food that can be prepared quickly and fairly simply. Recipes laid out clearly. Ingredients fairly readily available from the supermarket. Many happy hours of preparing, cooking and eating here!

Not too inspiring, simple but then again cooking for family doesn't need complicated

5.0 out of 5 stars Jamie Oliver simple

j.b. · 12 October 2024

I have about 20 other cookbooks by different chef's but this is the best cookbook I have seen in years the recipes are great it's well laid out and the dishes are just tasty and delicious I would recommend this book for every Cook to have on the shelf it's brilliant

Great, quick recipes. 100% recommend!

s. · 12 October 2024

The recipes are simple, not many ingredients and around 10 min - perfect for weekly dinners! I'm super impressed. The recipes I tried so far were GREAT!

It's simply the best

S.T.B. · 30 September 2024

The book gives you ideas for very simple, quick but at the same time rich meals. You can construct full party or family dinner from there, together with a dessert. Jamie gives a lot of ideas that you can mix and match. You can juggle ingredients however you like. You don't like fish? Exchange salmon with your other favorite protein. Jamie himself said that this book is not s textbook. It's just there to give you ideas and to encourage you to experiment with food. It does that perfectly. It's my third cookbook from Jamie and once again I'm not disappointed.

Great Book

P.N. · 14 October 2024

Shyest read through and put together a shopping list before you start cookingFood is great, some instructions a little vague!

Nothing new

S.I. · 14 October 2024

Nothing interesting in this cookbook.

A simply basic cookbook

S.B. · 20 October 2024

I luv the Jamie Oliver cookbooks. I pretty much thought there would be simple recipes in this latest book, however looking through it I found some recipes are very boring and basic!There are some recipes i will try but most i probably won't. A bit of a disappointment compared to Jamie's other cookbooks.
