Fantastic book From Jamie Oliver!!!! I have been putting his organic farming lessons to good use and am proud to say that I have my first real garden! I love the way he is sooo passionate about his garden and even gives you the dirt on the secret love affair he is having with it behind his wife's back! haha :)I see that another reviewer didn't like the dead rabbit picture or other game pictures in the book which is interesting because it shows just how far removed we are from the food that we eat. Jamie is trying to change this by getting you closer to what you are putting into your body by using the freshest of ingredients in a seasonal way (that includes fresh meat). The book itself is set up in seasons and has a wonderful variety of offerings for each. (However; if you did happed to catch the Jamie at Home show on the Food Network you will already have seen the majority of these recipes).They are fantastic recipes though, and I do use them very often. Some cookbooks I buy and they quickly become dust collectors. This one however; is permanently open!I do highly suggest this book to anyone who cares about good cooking in a fun way and wants to learn a trick or two about organic gardening. It really has helped me reconnect with food in a way that eludes most Americans today. And please...get over the rabbit pics, let me just clue you in to the fact that your fish and chicken don't actually hatch with little Styrofoam containers around them perfectly filleted and ready to cook! Buon Appetito

I read some of the negative reviews so I checked this book out at the library first. This is a great book for people that enjoy cooking, gardening, (regardless of where you live!)and it is fun to just read... I have already tried some of the recipes and loved them. The Roasted peppers stuffed with the tomatoes, capers, etc on sourdough was awesome! and soooooo easy!! My husband who is strictly meat and potatoes actually complimented this dish. The book inspired me to get back to cooking. I am not big on fancy recipes and tend to make variations to almost all recipes anyhow so I really liked the way this was written. When I create something new and write it out for friends I write it the way I cook it. I thoroughly enjoy the "How I grow" sections since he tends to try to grow things just about anywhere including in buckets or soup cans! This inspired me to not be so picky about things being "just right". I really liked the concept of the book being in order of season since I was looking for something new to do with Squash and Zucchini. Great buy but as always depends on what you are looking to do.

When I first came across Jamie Oliver's program on TV years ago, I was a bit put off by what I considered his overly enthusiastic manner. I continued to watch, however, and soon became a huge fan. This guy is one of the treasures of the cooking world.I have all his books and use them all the time. This latest has lots of gardening tips, etc. in it that I don't need. The recipes are great and you can skip the parts about how to grow turnips. The recipe for baked fish with leeks and bacon alone is worth the price of the book, as is the spicy pork and chilli-pepper goulash and the potato and chorizo omelette with a kinda parsley salad. I've only tried one of the desserts - the rhubarb and sticky ginger crumble which is homey and delicious. His desserts are usually a high point for me in any of his books and this looks to be the sameI would recommend that you get all of his books. Immediately! Right this second!As Jacques Pepin would say "Appy Coooking" with Jamie Oliver.

Great book if you are interested in scratch cooking using fresh ingredients throughout the seasons. I have found a number of go to meals for each season that I now know by heart. One thing I love about Jamie's style is his constant sense of encouragement. Basically he says to add more of something if you like it or take something away if you don't but to experiment and excite your palate. The book reads easily and has a lot of asides that Jamie uses to help you grow the ingredients on your own or to find them. For those familiar with Jamie it is like he is reading it to you and you can hear his voice with each recipe and explanation. If you like Jamie I recommend this highly.

What a gorgeous book. Lovely photographs accompany easy, flavorful recipes--recipes that feel like home. I like how Oliver leaves plenty of wiggle room in his measurements so the user can feel free to cater the dishes to his/her taste. And to discuss the various ingredients, complete with information on growing your own vegetables and fruits, makes this book a pleasure pleasure to read. In the vast cookbook industry, one often encounters "food porn" offerings, heavy on production value and lush photography, yet with difficult recipes that involve ingredients one would have to Live in London or New York to find; conversely, many perfectly good cookbooks get lost in the shuffle because of low production value and no pizazz. "Jamie at Home" is a perfect amalgamation of both excellent production and recipes that actually work.

First: I never write product reviews. However, after eating delicious meal after delicious meal thanks to this cookbook, I just had to offer my accolades to the list. My husband and I love to cook. We love to try new recipes at least a couple of times each week. EVERY meal that we have tried from this book has been great. Mushroom risotto? Yum. Italian bread and cabbage soup? Amazing. Essex fried rabbit? Delicious. Indian carrot salad, steak and Guinness pie, rhubarb fool...aaahhh. These are just the recipes that I'm thinking of off of the top of my head -- I know I'm forgetting many other stellar ones that we've tried. This might be the best Christmas gift I've ever received. Also, the gorgeous photography and interesting discussions on gardening and sustainability make it an interesting read as well. I highly recommend this book.
