review 1: The first recipe that I have tried from this book the the fresh tomato soup (pg.46). I havent made this with the croutons, just made the soup on its own for lunch. The combination of tomatos, basil and garlic brings a lovely smell to the kitchen. I used frozen basil rather than fresh basil as this was all i had, but this meant that when i blended it it just crumbled rather than ending up stewed. The idea of blending the ingredients whilst uncooked was a little odd and I found doing the carrots particularly difficult to blend. But it smells nice and tastes ok too!
review 2: I have to say it, I probably won't cook many items from this one. But I've been a Jamie Oliver fan for a while, so I had to check it out. I've only cooked one item: the cauliflower chee
... morese soup - it turned out all right but, as with most Jamie recipes, you need to have many skills before making. And honestly, putting the soup in a casserole dish in the oven, after cooking on the stove seemed unnecessary. The thing this one has going for it though, is it has the crispy duck salad and the ice cream bombe from his Christmas television specials. We've made both before, to great success. Having them in the book is worth it. less
