Jamie and his team are on a mission: convert us to eating 'right'. The popular tone and stunning photography are definitely a valuable tool in the battle. The book accompanies a television show (or the other way around?) and portrays Jamie as a knowledgeable family man - which I have little doubt he is. It also shows him using expensive ingredients and lots of gear not everyone has the money or space for.
But what really gets to me is that I finished this a few days ago and I already don't remember more than three recipes from this!

I received this book as a Christmas gift. If I had the choice, I probably would not have bought this particular Jamie Oliver cookbook. To be honest, some of the dishes that are present in this book do not look like food I could get an entire family to eat; I think it would be rather difficult to find families other than perhaps Jamie's who consider smoked trout salad with potatoes, beets, and soft boiled eggs a "family classic".
All of that being said, the recipe methods appear to be easy to follow and I appreciate the nutritional information being presented at the end of each recipe. The book concludes with a section on food and nutrition information that doesn't scare away the reader with facts that horrify and vilify, but rather encourages the reader to make simple changes to improve their nutrition and relationship with food.

I've always liked Jamie Oliver a great deal and when I saw him making some of the recipes from this book on tv I decided that I had to have this book as they all sounded and looked delicious. I've tried a few of the recipes at home and they've been a huge success. Even my daughter enjoys them very much. In the back of the book there's even a section with various freezer tips for easy heathy food. I would recommend it to everyone.
