Is Jamie's 5 ingredient Mediterranean cook book any good?

[MademoiselleFrenglish]

Considering adding it to my Christmas list but not sure how useful it would be to me. I loved his 30 minute meals, but didn't like the 15 minute meals one at all.

Are the recipes reasonable and don't involve going to 3 different shops to track down all the ingredients?
Are all the recipes going to cost an arm and a leg?

Oh have seen that there's a non-Med one too, is that one better?

I got it for my birthday but I wasn't inspired.

I have it. I like it because the recipes are short and straightforward (so not lots of complicated steps) and the ingredients are easy to obtain. DP will add extra ingredients (mainly herbs, spices and stock) to boost the flavour though, as he thinks it’s lacking otherwise.

There was a 4-part series on Channel 4 with some of the recipes. You could check that out to see if you like the look of anything.

Thank you! Will have a look for the series and take it from there 🙂

It's the only book of his I've had and been uninspired by.
