Jamie Oliver has already been tipped as the new Delia Smith, only this guy has a heck of a lot more style. He isnt one of these frilly kinds of chefs! He enjoys cooking and presenting good food, and you dont have to have a degree in cookery to follow his recipes, just a bit of time and patience, oh and the ingredients of course!

The thing I really like about this book, is that the recipes are not too difficult, and you dont have to go out and find some wierd ingredients you have never heard of.At the beggining of this book Jamie suggests a few things you might want to have in your store cupboard before you start cooking, these are:

oils: extra virgin olive,olive,sunflower
vinegars: red wine,white wine,balsamic,rice wine
mustards: dijon,wholegrain,english
salt: maldon sea,table,cooking
sugar: brown,white,icing
flour: plain,s.f,strong pasta,tipo'oo',corn
baking powder,bicarb soda
semolina,couscous
dried pasta: spaghetti,linguine,tagliatelli,penne
pulses: borlotti,cannellini,butter beans
rice: long grain pilaf,basmati,risotto
anchovies in olive oil or salt
capers: salted
olives: black,green
soy sauce,fish sauce,oyster sauce
tinned whole tomatoes
dried mushrooms
chocolate,cocoa powder

Of course you need fresh and dairy produce but these are some of your basic needs.

After an introduction about this book, the recipes are spread into different sections which are:

1. breakfasts
2. tapas,munchies and snacks
3. simple salads and dressings
4. soups and broths
5. pasta and risotto
6. fish and shellfish
7. meat poultry and game
8. vegetables
9. bread
10. desserts
11. bevvies
12. stocks sauces, bits and bobs

There are a wide range of different meals etc to try ranging from normal everday foods for families, to something extra special to serve for those times when you want to impress!
I particuly liked the section which had several different sauces in, as they can always turn a regular dish into something spectacular!

I have just bought this book for my father who has recently become a bachelor, and wont use traditional cookery books, but has found this book to be a god send,as it comes across in such a new fresh way that cooking dosent seem to be a chore anymore only a pleasure!!
