Jamie Does...

No issues

Great book with tasty recipes and great images

This cookbook is a follow up to Jamie Olives series "Jamie Does" The series follows Jamie on a series of mini breaks that he takes.As much as I appreciate the series and wanted the recipes from the series. These are authentic recipes that Jamie has JAMIEIZED. So if you are expecting authentic recipes that remind you of your trips to Spain, France, Italy, Morocco ETC. Just get the cookbook that reaches you how to cook authentic regional recipes.The recipes are good for the westernized palettes. Flavorful and to Jamies credit he tries to keep it light with the use of Olive oil.All in all the recipes are good and tasty and usually easy to make. The book itself is well laid out and has some well written stories as the precursor to the recipes. The photography of the book is great. Sometimes I wonder what the food would look like if they did not modify the color hues to make greens greener ETC.Not a bad book and I would recommend it to friends or to people that like Jamie Oliver.

I love this book of Jamie Oliver. It has many good recipes and they are easy to prepare too. I would recommend it to others.

Highly recommended. Another beauty from Jamie Oliver. Easy to understand recipes and lots of fabulous pictures of food and locations.

GReat recipes.Can't wait to try them!

I love Jamies recipes, but this is not his best collection. It is slimmer than most, and it doesn't seem to hang together like his other books. It's a bit of this and a bit of that. There is a lot of padding between the recipes, and quite a few of the recipes look vaguely familiar with a few tweaks. If you loved the TV series and want a reminder, then it's perfect. If you want a good cookbook full of quality recipes to last you quite a few years try a different Jamie book.

I actually saw this book at MacDario's in Panzano (Chianti Region) in Italy this past July 2012. I met Dario and he showed me this book that Jamie Oliver actually personally autographed for him. It specifically showed Dario in his famous butcher shop. I ordered this booked because it contained an article about Dario, as well as his carpaccio recipe. I was very disappointed when my book arrived and there was no photograph or article about Dario. WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!
