Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life - Jamie Oliver
While I am yet to buy this book, I'm very excited that it's finally been released. I watched the series and tried to write down recipes as they were displayed onscreen. Of course, it was done in such a way that I'd never quite get all the ingredients and his website forbade any exchanging of recipes online.
When I did open a copy of this book for the first time last weekend, I was really disappointed with its layout. As did a previous reviewer, I really hoped it would have been in a kitchen notebook format, similar to that used on the series.
My first Jamie book was Cook with Jamie. When it was given to me, I was really put off by its font type and colour. Then to see it again in this book... what a horrid blue for the titles and a boring font used throughout. Considering how excited Jamie is about his produce and end product, I thought the book would have been put together with a lot more imagination and be more colourful, for starters.
Despite all that, I'm hoping to get it for Christmas, as I really want to make the tomato ketchup, amongst many other things. As a vegetarian, most of Jamie's other books haven't been of much interest to me, but I think that will change with this one. "Cook" also has some stuff I'm going to try. It's great that Jamie is focussing so much on home grown produce.
My current star rating is 3 points, based on non-ownership and first impressions. I'll review that when I have a copy of my own.
