Good book and usually pick just the main as opposed to two courses.

I'd recommend as straightforward and clearly some good recipes..

I haven't seen it for years but you could always add at least £10 to every meal for the amount of extra virgin olive oil and extras he used.

I like his cooking as it's always easy to follow and tasty. Never timed myself cooking it.

Have the kettle ready ? The recipes jamie uses call for all your equipment to be ready and ingredients before starting anything else.

They are NOT 30 min recipes.

Still, inspiring a lazy generation (me included) to cook is a good thing.

He suffers with ADHD and other learning difficulties I think his speech steams from that.

I'm not sure about the AD bit, but he certainly still seems to suffer from the hyperactivity bit

They don't take 30 mins to cook but saying that, we've tried most of them and there are some great recipes ( never times it but most of the time they are done within ¾ hour )

Part of who he is I suppose I quite like him but he is not everyone's cup of tea I think he has done a lot to bring certain topic into the media some worthwhile causes.

I think he may have been born with a cleft palate too.

I like his enthusiasm and don't think he's holier than thou the crap some people feed their kids is unreal!

I'm shocked at how few cooking skills and confidence a lot of people 5+ years younger than me are. It's a shame. Soup, roasts, stews/casseroles, even stir Fry's, pasta dishes are so easy to do pretty much from scratch even sauces (shock horror) and a lot cheaper and healthier too (says I as a fatty, I eat good food just too much of it )

I know of one family who literally only eat ready meals and takeaways. The salt alone they are consuming is frightening.

Agree, cooking isn't difficult, basic food can be made really tasty with just a few skills x

I started out as a waitress and picked up some tips but mostly it came from my mum teaching me (not being afraid to let us use knives, hot water, cooker etc as a lot of parents now seem to be. In other countries there can be 5 year olds preparing the main daily meal we're too risk averse here).

She cooks without recipes. She judges amounts by eye, smell and taste. Did loads of baking with us as kids. Not so much now she's older n just her and dad.

I bought it in a remainder shop in 1982 after my parents threw me out. Other people have bought me cook books as presents but Marguerite Patten covers everything. She was an inspiration and never got all poncy, always calling herself a home economist.

Woman's Hour replayed the interview they did with her a couple of years ago - fantastic!

If you prep everything, boil the kettle, then start the stop watch once everything is chopped and prepared then 'yes' its 30 minute meals

I've cooked a fair few of them over the years. If you can cook efficiently, they are 30minute meals.

If you're a beginner they'll take longer - like any new hobby.
