Disappointing - By: Sea Breeze, 17 Nov 2008 
I have tried four recipes from this book so far. The recipes are easy to follow, but the results don't taste very good. All have been disappointing & one was horrible.
I am a Jamie fan & have enjoyed some of his other books, but these recipes just aren't up to his usual standard.
Fantastic - By: Kendo, 17 Nov 2008 easy to follow
well written
recipes that are easy & work (and taste great)
exactly what a recipe book should be- hope the other prima donnas take note.
"Who are you, and what have you done with our Mum?" - By: Pod4, 14 Nov 2008 I must own about 100 recipie books easily, maybe more. They cause me troublein storing them & strife everytime we move...but no more ...I'm about to ditch most of them! I've had The Ministry for 3 weeks & have used more recipes from this than I have out of the other books combined!
I love the one recipe per left hand page & pictures showing stages & finished item on right side of pages, no flicking pages here, or pictures of tempting dishes & endless frustration trying to match recipe to correct picture 30 pages apart! Every recipe is pictured, so you know what it's supposed to look like!
There's not even lists of difficult to source ingredients, & there are many ideas of how to tweak recipies to make them into something else. I've never used so many fresh herbsin cooking, & they really do lift the quality & flavour of the meals. It's inspired me to start a herb garden of my own!
My family have particularly loved the Roast chicken - moist meltin the mouth & totally flavour packed - as is the consistantly good gravy - Bisto have lost me forever. I actually had no idea how easy it is & how good gravy could taste. Parmesan chicken & posh ham chicken great - although 2nd time used smoked bacon instead - just as good really. Salmon fishcakes gorgeous. The sauce with the meatloaf is fantastic, & have used this as a veggie main meal with couscous on its own (without bacon!)
Trouble is I'm being pestered to remake so many things...particularly Mega Chocolate Fudge Cake...heavenly.
I'm quite a confident & good home cook anyway, but have been guilty of getting stuckin a rut with old favourite meals cooked hundreds of times. I usually only dabblein recipe books at Xmas time. However we are all loving the Ministry.
I highly recommend this easy to follow, attractive & no nonsense book as the only one you needin the kitchen - except for Xmas stuff!
A book for the credit crunch? - By: aberal, 13 Nov 2008 I've always enjoyed his TV programmes & I've had a long hard look at Jamie's books over the last 2-3 years since teaching myself to cook - & to be honest, never fancied them at all. They seemed a bit too fussy & his recipes simply didn't appeal. This one is different. Simple, straight forward & concise. the recipes tend to be orientated more towards an easy meal at the end of the day than the full blown dinner, which too many cookbooks tend to aspire to. Andin this credit crunch era it's a bit of a brainwave to hark back to (even darker) dark days & good simple, plain, easy to cook, tasty & nutritional fare. This for the last two weeks has become a bit of a bible for me & I can see my love affair with it lasting a lot longer than that. His best book yet - by far.
