Cook with Jamie

by Jamie Oliver

I can't tell you how long I've dreamt about writing this book. It's the biggest book I've ever done, and I've really tried to make it a timeless, modern-day classic. Whether you're a student, a young couple, an established cook or a novice, I'll take you through a whole load of simple and accessible recipes that will blow the socks off your family and any guests you might have round for dinner. There's information on the equipment that I think you should have in your kitchen, advice on how to recognize and cook loads of different cuts of meat, as well as on how to get the best value and quality when youre out shopping. With Britain consuming more processed food than the rest of Europe put together, it's a sad fact that most people just aren't confident enough to cook any more. With this in mind, now is the time for you to get stuck in and reclaim your fantastic cooking heritage! You know what . . . if you're going to eat three times a day for the rest of your life, you might as well learn to cook properly and enjoy it! So, roll up your sleeves and let me help you.
