review 1: I usually love his books, and his recipes are great. This book is also beautifully photographed, and I love his style. While I agree with his point (that it's generally quicker, healthier and less expensive to cook than to order in/take out), I don't like the way the recipes are set up here. It was tough to isolate a dish if you don't want the whole meal, and it's 30 minutes active cooking time - not chasing kids, answering the phone, etc. Unfortunately, that's not something I have a lot of. This works almost like a Rachel Ray cookbook, and that's not something I'm into. So, if you're looking to try one of Jamie's books, I'd pick something different.
review 2: Love this cookbook. The ideas alone that come from this are great! Have used it countless ways, f
... moreor entertaining and for just us. Never follow the recipe and method. I tried one once as written and while the end result in terms of food was great, my tiny worker's cottage kitchen looked like the fridge, pantry and cupboards had exploded all at once....but I snag a meal idea, tweak it, mess about with it and the environmental impact is not so ruinous. It's full of inspiration for those of us who like our food but don't have the time, skills or inclination for the fiddly stuff. less

The same old stuff re-gurgitated. Nothing new or interesting, designed to sell books.
