So i need a cookbook please any recommendations??? I wanted to try Jamie Olives 30 minute meals but on the tv programmes the food he makes looks quite fancy, and i'm a useless cook lol so i need something easyish x

I wanted to get the 30 minute Jamie book but had a look through it at sainsburys last week and it looks quite difficult??!! I want something basic like one meal to a page haha. I usually use websites rather than actual books.

This is one of my faves:

I use websites and have a couple of cookbooks that are years and years old that my gran gave me some really yummy food in them though!

My problem is usually the ingrediants I never have half of them in my cupboards so I give up on "that particular idea"

I use the Jamie Oliver book x Its the best book I have & its so easy to use because he literally gives you a step by step guide x I only cook one thing at a time rather than his menu but his chicken pie is amazing & is always a winner in our house x

Thanks for the website! Reedy, is it the 30 minute meals one you use? x

u could try his other book, ministry of food. my son has tried a few of these recipes and hes only 13. very easy to do. homey food, soups, pastas, roasts etc.

I always google recipes, then if they work out well I then save them in my favs. I got a brilliant prawn stir fry recipe, homemade burgers, sausage rolls, chcken and leek pie, and they are all very straight forward

^^ yeah Jamie's Ministry of Food one is good if you're not experienced at all, that's the kind of thing he was aiming at with that book I picked up a copy from a charity shop and although we do cook there're still some good ideas but it's really back to basics so great for beginner cooks

 

[Reedy]

Yeah its the 30 minute meals one x I cant do them in 30 minutes lol but its still good x
Might get the ministry of food one myself sounds good x
