Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Jamie's Kitchen — the television show — began as an experiment and turned into a phenomenon. It started when Jamie took in 15 unemployed, enthusiastic kids, trained them to be chefs, and helped them open a restaurant, Fifteen, that has become the hottest dining spot in London. When England's Channel 4 launched a tie-in series, more than four million people tuned in. The show premiers this fall in the U.S.

Jamie's Kitchen — the book — is laid out as a cooking course and will inspire readers of all levels. Some of the cooking techniques included are making salads, cooking without heat, poaching and boiling, steaming, stewing and braising, roasting, grilling, and baking. In the process, Jamie shares one-of-a-kind, delicious recipes, such as prosciutto and pecorino, citrus-seared tuna with crispy noodles, herbs, and chili; smoked haddock risotto; and baked chocolate pudding.

Jamie includes tips on how to take recipes in new directions and how to be an inspired grocery shopper — spotting what's good, what's in season, and what's a good value. Most important, Jamie encourages budding cooks to have confidence and a sense of independence, and to be master of the kitchen!

Jamie?s kitchen; is a superb book of flavor combinations, stirring the senses to shear happiness. Smooth recipes fill the pages with sophisticated thinking and yet, simple beautiful thoughts from the culinary heart. Improvisational measurements encourage creativity by showing cooks in this book; that they can add a little more or less of an item. A great cook needs to feel their measurements with some instinct and leeway. I truly enjoy the book for it?s recipes, photo?s and dedication to a group of young chefs in the making. This is the first book by Oliver I have every looked at.
