Review of Jaime’s Food Revolution

I am not that familiar with Jamie Oliver, I am more of a Betty Crocker kind of girl, but this book has won me over and I am a big fan now! Jaime’s goal is that you rediscover how to cook simple, delicious, affordable meals. I love that! This book teaches you how to make things from scratch, and they aren’t over the top meals, they are real meals even my kids will eat. I guess I judged this book by the cover, I thought this book was going to be filled with lots of “foo foo” meals that I would never use.

Here are some things I love about this book:

• The photos are gorgeous! There are lots of them too.
• It’s filled with recipes I can see myself cooking on a daily basis
• It has not just recipes, but tips and tricks too.
• I just love the whole “feel” of this book, just reading the book makes me feel like a smart cook. Makes me feel like I am doing something healthy for my family.

Here are some recipes I am looking forward to trying:

Chicken Chow Mein – We love Chow Mein, and now we have a great recipe that we can make our own.

Chopped Pesto – The photos in this book really make you want to try everything, but the pesto looks so yummy and it is so easy.

Mexican Style Corn – Again, the photo makes this looks yummy! This is corn on the cob with some Parmesan cheese and Fresh Red Chile. What a fun new way to eat corn on the cob. I can’t wait until summer to try this.

This really is one amazing cookbook and I am thrilled to have it added to my collection. This is a must have book for anyone that loves to cook. I definitely give this book 5 stars! You can pick up Jamie’s Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals at Amazon for $26.25 (retail price is $35.00).
