review 1: Was bought this book for Christmas and was incredibly doubtful about it. Was put off at first because whilst I cook an awful lot, half the ingredients needed are not what I would normally stock.Less than two months later and I am a total convert. I love this book! The meals are interesting, unusual and have us eating things we had never tried before. The short amount of time needed to make them means that they're perfect for week night meals after work, even if shopping requires slightly more preparation!The washing up, though, often leaves something to be desired!
review 2: I loved this cookbook. Not only are the recipes easy to follow and economical but they're so healthy. I've had it for a week and eaten out of it at least once a day every day since I go... moret it. The 15 minute mindset can be a bit tricky to grasp but within two recipes I was cooking these meals in 15 minutes (or under for the breakfast, smoothie and sandwich sections). Also the side dishes are wonderful and you can create your own menus by mixing and matching quite easily. To make this easier you'll notice that many of the recipes use the same ingredients so you're not buying something you'll only use once or twice. I have a kitchen garden which has helped heaps but I'm also adding a wider variety of things to my pantry (which is also encouraging me to decrease my processed food consumption so the cost is being offset by that and not costing me much more in food shopping). You do need a food processor for these recipes but thanks to Jamie my one has gone from being something that sat on the shelf most days to being one of the most useful tools in my kitchen.Also useful is the information available for each recipe. One the recipe page you can find a calorie count per serve and in the back pages there is a breakdown of calories, saturated fat, salt and sugar for each recipe. This is quite useful. Be aware that just because a recipe is low in calories it doesn't mean it isn't filling. These are meals with realistic healthy portions (not excessive portions but not minimal ones either) that will fill you up. Finally, these recipes balance vege, protein, good fats and oils and carbs. In the week I've been eating out of it I have notice my hair is shiner, my skin is clearer and I'm making smarter food choices when I go out just because I love the fresh vegetables in Jamie's recipes. I'm eating more fruit and vege without really considering it and making the choice to eat more fruit and vege when I'm not eating Jamie's meals.This is easily the best cookbook of 2012 and I'm excited to see what Jamies's 2013 offering is. less
