I got this cookbook for Christmas (thanks darling, but I know your cunning plan to never have to cook again). It's quite amazing. I had filed it away but just started watching his programme on TV and hauled it out the other day. Thai Red Curry Prawns on the menu tonight. He says if you get yourself organised with all your utensils and ingredients etc, it's easy to get a meal on the table in 30 minutes. I have made quite a few recipes in it already - really good and quite simple for the most part!

I watched it on TV last night, and cant get over how much oil he uses!

Jamie Oliver is the king of extra virgin olive oil, he literally adds it to everything he cooks - no matter what it is!! It is a bit off putting the amount he uses.

Even the 'pinch' of salt is huge to what I'd do!

Yep - that had to be one of the nicest Thai Red Currys I have ever made! I didn't have coconut milk, so used lite coconut cream instead, and substituted green beans for snowpeas. The gravy was really rich and spicy and authentic. I agree Jamie tends to use very generous serves of olive oil - "lugs", as he calls them, but it's all down to personal taste.

Love Jamie's recipes, and he seems fantastic too.His recipe book and series when he goes to Morocco, Spain, France etc is fantastic too.Most of the meals I cook come from Jamie Does or Jamie's 30 Minute Meals. Yum yum yum!

Yes & did you know the Italians don't heat Olive oil, it has a very low burn temp & heating it makes it lose it's health giving properties.
