review 1: I was surprised to read that other accomplished home cooks were frustrated with this cookbook's formatting. I guess 'different strokes for different folks', because I LOVED it. I went out and bought it after drooling over it at a friend's house in Ireland. As a home cook, I sometimes get in a rut of 'side dishes' and desserts. I love that he offers a complete meal suggestion. And I have made individual recipes from his book as well. I wasn't put off by the 'prep notes' as they were. I still found it simple to use for individual recipes, and loved the breakdown for making an entire meal at once. We have made several of the meals, and several of the individual recipes from this book, and we have loved them all.
review 2: This is Jamie Oliver's 11th book and the f... moreirst book I've read by him. It's also the first book I've looked at by a Food Network "chef." I got this book from the library and I initially thought it would be filled with great tips about how to cook meals in minutes, but like the title says "Meals in Minutes: A Revolutionary Approach to Cooking Good Food Fast," means entire meal plans, not recipes. The book is divided into actual meals--for example--smoked salmon, potato salad, beets and cottage cheese and homemade butter. Each meal has a list of ingredients to have on hand and steps for preparing the meal. But what if I wanted the potato salad recipe? Sadly, the font is too small to rbe functional while cooking and one has to ferret out the recipes, making this book useless in my kitchen. I wondered who Jamie imagined his readers were for this book? Not people who already cook, I guess. I liked some of the recipes but I'm an experienced cook, looking for time cutting ideas not whole meal plans. Another irritation was the over-the-top photography which includes plenty of photos of Jamie Oliver. In the first 50 pages I counted over 100 color food photos. Who needs this many photos for recipes? I guess this book is inteneded for the die hard Jamie Oliver fans. I'm glad I didn't buy this. Please Jamie, stop with the annual cookbook it's a waste of trees. less
