Jamie's Ministry of Food: Anyone Can Learn to Cook in 24 Hours Book

I'd lost the plot with cooking in recent years and found myself in a rut, churning out the same old things!

This book has changed things completely. Every recipe is easy and quick to follow. Lots of the meals can be created in 20 minutes!!! Great when you've come home late after a long day at work!!

Every recipe I've tried so far has been really lovely.

Jamie Oliver has got a great philosophy!

I would definately recommend this book!!

'The aim of this book is to completely inspire people who have no interest in food to have a go' - Jamie Oliver. Sixty years ago food was in short supply and malnutrition rates were high. "The Ministry of Food" was set up to teach the public how to make the best use of the food available to them. Fast forward to the present day where we have unlimited choices and plenty of food yet we're living in a world of junk food additives and preservatives. Our war is now against obesity as most people have little or no idea about how to cook and what makes a balanced diet. We need to learn from the past. We need to look back at the way our grandmothers and great-grandmothers cooked - wholesome tasty food that was simple and quick to prepare. If you're a complete beginner in the kitchen Jamie's promise to you is that you'll be making some great dinners within hours of reading his book. A little knowledge and a few basic tools can go a long way and this book is your first step ...
