We already have Jamie's America book and whilst the food is indeed great, my girlfriend does most of it as I wouldn't know where to begin! So whilst food shopping the other day I took a look at this. It's great for beginners, explaining each step well whilst keeping a certain degree of simplicity to the methods.
Last night I made chicken chow mein, it was epic if I do say so myself.
There are huge differences between Jamie Oliver and my favorite, Alton Brown.
Jamie: To make this dish you must follow A, B, C. And THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!
Alton: Anytime you cook anything like this you must follow these rules because SCIENCE! Follow the science and make whatever you want without a recipe. Get creative.
Nothing against Jamie Oliver. I just like to know why I am doing something, rather than get a lecture on how not doing it will kill kids.
