The Jaime Oliver Flavour Shaker
We all know and love JamieOliver, the award winning Naked Chef, star of Jamie's school dinners and successful restaurants, books and cookery programmes.
I am going to review today his Flavour Shaker. If you are not familiar with the Jaime Flavour Shaker it is actually one of his inventions. He modelled it on the process of a traditional pestle and mortar. A pestle and mortar grind ingredients together to make a nice paste or marinade but it a very labour intensive way of mixing, requires quite a bit of strength and makes a lot of mess. The flavour shaker looks quite like a salt and pepper shaker and allows you to put in lots of different ingredients, shake it up with the help of a ceramic ball, and then turns it into a sauce. It has a lid on the top so no mess.
My husband and I received one ...

Advantages: Likeable lad Disadvantages: Pseudo working - class thing
I'm back in love with JamieOliver! We kind of fell out over 'Jamie's Ministry of Food', the TV series tackling obesity in Rotherham, mostly spent patronising fat working-class people in a Northern town because they preferred their chips over tapas, a rather cheap shot from Britain's favourite chef. I'm sure he didn't mean it that way but the people that put the show together probably did.
The whole exercise, at the time, seemed less about helping the people of Britain's fattest city lose weight through healthy eating but more about selling copies of his preceding recipe book for fat people from northern towns. It was a good idea in practice, teaching a small group of people how to cook healthier recipes and then pass it on to more people and hope it balloons up to impressive numbers of healthy eaters across the country. But once ...

Advantages: Great recipes, photos of the food, lots of choice Disadvantages: None
We seem to have a liking for JamieOliver in our house because this is another cookbook from his series that we have and one that we use pretty much all the time. The book is called Jamie's Dinners and it is billed as the essential family cookbook. It was published in 2004 by the Penguin Group and follows his series that was shown on Channel 4.
The book has a photo of Jamie on the front looking rather pensive I think. (Maybe he is thinking about all the money he is making with his little empire!) The book is £14.99 but I believe you can now get it cheaper in a lot of places as it is a few years old.
Jamie describes the book as this: I'm really proud of this book because it's full of recipes for great family dinners, and I want to get you all cooking and enjoying them together. As a taster, we've created some menus based around ...
