Book review: Jamie’s Italy
July 1st, 2006 | Written by jfolkmann | Topic: Book review
The book, based on the Channel 4 TV show “Jamie’s great escape“, traces Jamie’s travels through Italy and gives recipes from the various regions he visited. So far the recipes I’ve tried have been easy to make, and tasty…typically Oliver. Recipes aside, I find myself reading the stories about the people he met, and their passion for the food they make, making this a bit more than a cookbook (and a good thing as there aren’t that many recipes).
The photography is lovely, and they’ve managed to capture the personality of people passionate about food.
Most of all, he’s made me very envious. Every food lovers dream would be to get paid to travel and write about food.
Overall, it’s a pretty good book…worth buying.

Definitely a great book and I’ve bought one for each of my family members. The pictures really motivate you to try cooking the dishes and I think they make you a better cook because you try to make your turn out looking the same!
