jamie oliver "grow your way to the good life"
i got a lovely suprise today, jane bought me jamie olivers book "cook your way to the good life" i know that people get aggravated by his cockney patter, but i have to say that this book is well written, informative, and very easy to follow, and to top it all it only cost £13 at T***o, jane and i have already earmarked recipies to try.
the good thing about this book is that it uses every thing that we grow in the garden and most other people do anyway, its just basic cooking jazzed up a bit.
so in my opinion give it a go you will be plesantly suprised
all the best

I'm under strict orders never to buy anything from jamie oliver
I'm married to a james oliver and he hates jamie with a passion for "stealing his name" and causing him to be the butt of many a cooking joke at work.

does the book have many veggie recipes in it? i tend not to buy cookbooks as neither of us eat much meat (im veggie and he will only have it once a week usually in the form of bacon)
