review 1: Perfect. The matte, full color pages were not irritating and glossy. The book was beautifully detailed and photographed. Oliver's commentary is priceless and so appreciated. I don't buy cookbooks that are simply lists of ingredients and step by step instructions anymore. I am more than willing to pay $30+ for books that are well-written and thoughtful with lots of insight and backstory. This was very enjoyable.
review 2: I was in the mood for a beautifully presented and not too high falutin' cookbook and that's what I got. It is pretty readable as a book and I found some interesting ideas. It seemed tremendously heavy on the flesh foods even for a book celebrating British cooking although the helpful 'v's next to veggie recipes in the index are in suffici... moreent quantity to suggest that was only an impression.I'm not sure it was really organised in the right way nor British enough to live up to its title but treated as a nice general cookbook for good food it works fine. I was a bit surprised by where the links to how to videos were and weren't. Like Jamie, I struggle with poached eggs and I would have liked to be able to watch the clingfilm pouch technique in action.I was reading it when there were reports in the media that Jamie Oliver's recipes were worse nutritionally than supermarket ready meals. Like most 'show' cooks and chefs in my experience he relies a great deal on salt and understands the place of fat in an all-round satisfying experience. There are numerous references in the book to sociable weekend eating, occasional treats and so on. less
