I brought the Jamie Oliver - Ministery of Food book today........................ it's fab!

[Charlee]

Kebab mum is in there apparently she has a veggie plot now! oh er!

It really is a good book though some nice recipes in there as always.

[WhirlingStirling]

There isn't a book to go with the series is there??? How unusual!

Only joking - I like Jamies' books - I shall look out for it

[Charlee]

Tesco £10 (rrp £25)

[Divvy]

bump

Does it have the chicken bashing recipe in it? The pass it on one?

[sagacious]

I've ordered it

Amazon £10

I do like JO. food.

Though his jokey jokey fuck a duck cock er knee act is very wearing.

[I am an akchewall cock er knee]

[Nemoandthefishes]

ohh what type of recipes are in it..only just got back from tescos

[pinkblossom]

Yes it does have the chicken bashing recipe in!! Made it last week - totally scrummy!

I really like the book. Very easy, simple recipes.

[Divvy]

I will have to buy it then!

[bundle]

you need a recipe to bash chicken?

[RGPargy]

ooo sounds interesting!

[bundle]

fio JO always does a book, with every series

[JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump]

tbh, bundle, it's not just JO - all cooks do a book to go with any tv series, I suspect.

[SpandexIsMyEnemy]

are the recipes quick n easy?

[wotnopulling]

what's in it? i assumed all pass it on recipes on website as that's kind of the point isn't it?

but maybe i'm being optimistic. quite fancied the stir fry they did last night.

[JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump]

On his website, there's a recipes section, which says that the following recipes are similar to the ones featured in my upcoming Ministry of Food cookbook (similar to?)

[JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump]

Ah recipes here, I think

[wotnopulling]

"pass it on recipes www.jamiesministryoffood.com/content/jo/recipes.html"

[bundle]

yesss jackie, but people often talk about him like he's some kind of saint. which he's not

[JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump]

True, bundle (sorry - my comment to you sounded a bit harsh, and it wasn't meant that way: I think I actually meant to type 'to be fair', but it came out as tbh, because my fingers just took over).

[bundle]

jackie

i agree, the book is prob part of the deal their agents do
i wonder if jamie is donating the proceeds of his to setting up the ministries of food/training courses? (like i think he did with Fifteen)

my favourite cookery books atm are sarah raven's garden cookbook and tamasin day lewis' kitchen bible - neither v tv-ish

also bought ottolenghi - must try something

[wotnopulling]

he is clearly a workaholic and ruthless in his pursuit of success (and money) but i think he is genuine in his desire to change things for the better. what are other chefs doing? (tho hugh f-w has a conscience i think)
so too complicated and irritating to be a saint - tho i quite like him for that.
and suspect most saints pretty annoying to be around...

[Blackduck]

Oh LOVE Sarah Raven....When I'm staring at my veg box in dismay I reach for her for inspiration! Kale and Chickpea curry anyone??

[Divvy]

Those links dont have the bashing chicken recipe though I really feel like bashing a chicken right now too!

[JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump]

Isn't this the bashing chicken one?

[wotnopulling]

it's on link i posted - parmesan chicken breasts with posh crispy ham.
rather tortured name - bashed chicken better!
