This book is simple and makes stunningly tasty meals. It takes away the "what should I make" blues and with brilliant efficiency produces an amazing spread for family +/- friends in exactly 30 minutes.
The ingredients are pretty standard for a modern pantry but pick up fresh herbs and lots of lime!
I cannot praise this practical everyday cookbook enough!

I have read through, tried and been given countless cook books. I haven't looked at any others since I got this one!! I also have the show set on my pvr and will watch an episode and then try the recipe. There isn't a single one I have tried that we don't like. I have started an herb garden as well because of the recipes. He shows you how to use fresh ingredients to give you amazing flavour instead of sauces, salt and garbage. And these meals CAN be done in less than 30 minutes. Maybe not the first attempt (may need to add 5-10 first time) but it will be no problem the second time. It's nice to feel chef like when you have company. Buying "Food Revolution" today and purchasing this one as a gift. My husband is also aware he would be replaced by Mr Oliver as well :). Great book!!

Great book stocked full of great meal plans!! I've used this book along with the show and cooked some fab meals. Recommend to everyone. Great when you're pinched for time and want something healthy and great tasting!!!

I bought this book two weeks ago and can't stop making the meals in it. I have read other reviews that say there is no way you can make these meals in 30 minutes but I think that would only be true if you are a fairly novice cook. I have made about 10 of the meals in the book now and have not had any take more than 30 minutes and I did all of this while taking care of my six month-old baby and 2 year-old toddler! If you have decent kitchen skills and enjoy cooking, I think you'll love this book and its meals. My husband can't stop raving about dinner and guests from a few nights ago asked me if I had thought about opening a restaurant! Yes, I do cook a fair bit but these compliments are from meals made from this cookbook. I wish Jamie would write a few more books in this style - I would buy them all.

I love this cookbook. I have cooked over half the recipes so far and every recipe has been fantastic. They are quick and easy to do but prepare for your kitchen to look like a bomb has hit it if you are doing it quickly!!

Gorgeous recipes - from ethnic to comfort, and everything in between. Lots of variety! And there are pictures for everything - which is pretty hard to find in a recipe book nowadays! Each meal's page also has a complimenting dessert recipe. Very easy to follow and simple/quick to prepare. If you like Jamie's other books then this one is a must-have.
