This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavors all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly . . . my vegetable patch!
I came to realize last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground.
Inside you'll find over one hundred new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well!

Jamie at Home:
I was disappointed in this cookbook. In fact, it arrived in bad condition due to poor packaging and rather than have it exchanged for another one, I chose to return it and get my money back.

Great companion to the show:
In Jamie At Home, Jamie Oliver has collected a wonderful selection of fun, tasty, easy-to-make recipes. If you get a chance to watch his Food Network show of the same name he usually bangs together two or three of the recipes per show, giving a good overview of his techniques. I've learned some simple time-saving shortcuts from him that make my experience in the kitchen even more enjoyable.
A tribute to food:
This is the most beautiful, inspiring cook book I've seen recently. Particular attention is given to photography throughout the book and to the paper stock it's printed on. The cover has a canvas feel while the interior pages are printed on matt paper. It gives an intended earthy quality and resembles a family album/diary which the lucky reader is privy to. They say don't judge a book by it's cover! Luckily the content is just as good as the delivery. Back to basics tasty recipes using in-season produce... more info
