Product Description
Home is where the heart is . . . This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavors all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly . . . my vegetable patch! I came to realize last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground. Inside you'll find over one hundred new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well!

I was disappointed in this cookbook. In fact, it arrived in bad condition due to poor packaging and rather than have it exchanged for another one, I chose to return it and get my money back. The book seemed to ramble on and on rather than having a clear, concise segment for recipes. A lot of it is show casing jamie's garden and there is a lot written on how/when he gardens and what to plant. I really didn't expect that and for those who are looking that type of book, this book will be great. The photos are beautiful and and there's a lot of text. If this is the sort of book you're looking for you will enjoy it. I personally was hoping for a lot more recipes and less verbage. I don't consider this a "cookbook". I consider it more of a lifestyle book.

I pre-appologize....
You are an absolute IDIOT for not thinking that Jamie is one of Chef out there, TODAY. Listen, please, I work for Wolfgang Puck for over 5 year, and that's a sham... SHAM! As in LIE. But as a chef, an artist, a REALIST... this man, JAMIE OLIVER, IS THE TRUE + LIFE + COOK = highly skillfull, highly ORGANIC, highly ARTISTIC, CHEF that he deserves to be. Anyone in disagreeance, plz, email me....
THIS book is chok full of images, how to's, recipes, and insiration on every fkn page. SO... unless your an idiot. Please, I urge you, pick it up... LOOK, read, SEE.
Then u be the judge

In Jamie At Home, Jamie Oliver has collected a wonderful selection of fun, tasty, easy-to-make recipes. If you get a chance to watch his Food Network show of the same name he usually bangs together two or three of the recipes per show, giving a good overview of his techniques. I've learned some simple time-saving shortcuts from him that make my experience in the kitchen even more enjoyable.

This is the most beautiful, inspiring cook book I've seen recently. Particular attention is given to photography throughout the book and to the paper stock it's printed on. The cover has a canvas feel while the interior pages are printed on matt paper. It gives an intended earthy quality and resembles a family album/diary which the lucky reader is privy to. They say don't judge a book by it's cover! Luckily the content is just as good as the delivery. Back to basics tasty recipes using in-season produce which Jamie encourages us to grow in our own vegetable patch. Divided into seasons the flow of the book is well organized, again supporting the grow your own approach.

Saying "Yes" to Seasonal Cooking! December 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If the world were perfect, there would be a bountiful seasonal kitchen garden of infinite variety outside every kitchen door. In the spring we would find sweet spring onions and in autumn tart-sweet apples. The leaf lettuce would always taste like butter and the asparagus would always be snapping fresh. Every day our kitchen table would reflect the warmth of the day and the season. That must be what Jamie Oliver had in mind when he set out to write JAMIE AT HOME: COOK YOUR WAY TO THE GOOD LIFE. I've tended my kitchen garden--it's just 4 feet by 4 feet--for many years--spring through autumn and I have never been disappointed by the flavor of just-ripe summer picked tomatoes and sweet corn or the sweetness of frost-tipped kale or beets. A garden as small as mine produces enough vegetables, herbs, and small fruits to even put some away for the winter. Every time I find a cookbook that helps me enjoy my garden that much more, I grab it. JAMIE AT HOME is a welcome addition to my library of seasonal cookbooks. Mollie Katzen's The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without and Deborah Madison's Local Flavors: Cooking and Eating from America's Farmers' Markets and Andrea Chesman's Serving Up the Harvest: Celebrating the Goodness of Fresh Vegetables are three that I use all of the time. Now, I can add JAMIE AT HOME. Jamie's recipes are sometimes a challenge but never too difficult. The book is fun to hold and read; it's eye-tasty. The recipes are presented seasonally and the garden instructions to make the ingredient vegetables and fruits happen are spot on. Good cooks should garden and good gardeners should cook. This book is filled with new old ways to grow, harvest, and prepare our food. It's a five-star treat. And for detailed growing directions for more than 80 vegetables and herbs check out The Kitchen Garden Grower's Guide: A practical vegetable and herb garden encyclopedia.
