Summary: jamie's kitchen
Comment: I have over 300 cookbooks and this is a welcome addition. I love his simplicity and refusal to give in to specific measurements. I think the recipes are simple and easy to use. I recommend this book to a beginner as well as an experienced chef.

Summary: Delicious food and a great looking book
Comment: This book is not only beautiful, it really has great recipes. I've cooked the roast duck, and the pot roasted shoulder of lamb, and the baked chocolate pudding -- and all of them turned out brilliantly, and looked just like the pictures which I can't say for very many of the cookbooks I own. I like the way the recipes are divided by technique -- that's why it works well as a cooking course. But it also just has great recipes so it's good even for people who really know how to cook. .

Summary: I love Jamie but not this cookbook
Comment: I am a huge fan of Jamie Oliver's television shows, books, and "easy peasy" approach to cooking/life.
Naturally, then, I was thrilled to read at Amazon that Jamie published a cookbook to accompany "Jamie's Kitchen" (a televised and laudable effort to train young and unemployed Londoners in both the culinary arts and restaurant business).
Unfortunately, I was quite unexpectedly disappointed.
The failure, I think, lies with an expectation set by the cookbook's sub-title..."A Cooking Course for Everyone".
Jamie tells us up front that this isn't meant to be an overly technical culinary textbook, but I wondered if we couldn't have been enriched by a cooking term or technique more complex than "to boil".
At the other extreme, Jamie's recipes lack the inspired (refreshing and yet warmly hearty) attributes we've come to love, and seemed rather inaccessible to the sort of reader who may need or want a "cooking course".
Although I enjoyed the kitchen tools list and invitation to use fresh herbs, these are nothing new; overall, I was struck by the irony that this cookbook, having its genesis in Jamie's openhearted effort to help others, seems to lack just that...heart.
