Book Reviews of Cook with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook

Book Review: Don't Waist Your Time and Money on This Jamie
Summary: 1 Stars

My wife bought this book for its appealing pictures. However, since then we have tried a couple of dishes and all of them were an utter disappointment. Dishes are quite labor intensive and do not come out well. Jamie tends to add "twists" to the recipes that may sound like European sophistication to the uninitiated reader but that in reality are just plainly inappropriate. Who in his/her right mind would ever drawn mashed potatoes in olive oil, overload pasta sauce with cr?me fra?che, or add orange zest to a meat marinade? But then, who in his/her right mind would ever think of an English chef as an authority in matters of fine dining?

Summary of Cook with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook

My guide to making you a better cook.

I can't tell you how long I've dreamed about writing this book. It's the biggest book I've ever done, and I've really tried to make it a timeless, modern-day classic. Whether you're a student, a young couple, an established cook, or a novice, I'll take you through a whole load of simple and accessible recipes that will blow the socks off your family and any guests you might have round for dinner. There's information on the equipment that I think you should have in your kitchen, advice on how to recognize and cook loads of different cuts of meat, as well as on how to get the best value and quality when you're out shopping. With all of us consuming more processed food than ever, it's a sad fact that most people just aren't confident enough to cook anymore. With this in mind, now is the time for you to get stuck in and reclaim your fantastic cooking heritage!

You know what . . . if you're going to eat three times a day for the rest of your life, you might as well learn to cook properly and enjoy it! So roll up your sleeves and let me help you.

P.S.: By the way, you should feel good about buying this book because every single penny I make from it will go toward training and inspiring young kids from tough backgrounds all over the world to have a career in food through the Fifteen Foundation. So on behalf of them, thank you.
