Book Reviews of Jamie's America
Book Review: Not as well done as Food Revolution, but still an amazing book!
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been spoiled by Jamie's Food Revolution cookbook here at the house. So, when I saw Jamie's America, I paged through it, and then immediately ran to the cashier to buy it. I feel that this book actually has more volume as far as storytelling and gorgeous photography than the Food Revolution. While some folks may turn up their nose at what could be considered filler, I found the it only added to the experience of reading, and cooking from this book. To me, the difference between Food Revolution and Jamie's America is simple: one is more of a traditional style cookbook, while Jamie's America focuses on the journey across the US to discover the quintessential recipes (with Jamie's touch) that define each region.
Jamie's America covers from the West to East Coast, and everything in between. Thus far, we've made two recipes out of the book (we've only had it a week) and they were both delicious and relatively easy to make (though we do consider ourselves intermediate to expert level cooks for a household of four). I think what I most appreciated about this book was the diversity of recipes. From delicious Dan Dan Noodles to traditional Navajo breakfasts, you'll find a wide spectrum of dishes.
From an aesthetic perspective, the book is well bound and designed, grouping recipes together by location rather than dish, and sprinkled with lots of love and charm that make Jamie one of our favorite cooks of all time.
If you loved Food Revolution, this is definitely a great addition.
Summary of Jamie's America
America - A country of many contrasts. For me, it presented the ultimate food trip to explore places, ingredients, food culture & traditions. I wanted to get to the heart of great American food, to get past the junk and super-sized portions. I set off on what I knew would be a completely inspiring trip. I wasn't wrong...from New York to New Orleans, the energy of Los Angeles to the big skies of Wyoming, I found what I was looking for: some of the most diverse and delicious recipes I've ever come across! And with 120 of them in this book, I'll show you the quick and easy way to put a little slice of America on your dinner table. What a trip!U.S. Regional Books
