Disappointing, recipes differ fr TV series - By: Wildredpoppies, 29 Nov 2008 
I don't grow my own veg, so this review applies only to the recipe portion of the book.
I watched the series on TV & was really excited to try the recipes from the book. To my disappointment, compared to the TV show, the (book) recipes turned out to be dumbed down somewhat & missing (in my opinion) some crucial steps/explanations. Also some recipes were really too much trouble for the results. For example "Humble home-cooked beans" uses a long list of ingredients (incl.5 types of herbs, expensive & leftovers difficult to use up) but the end result is just rather boring boiled beans!
Excellent - By: Foxylock, 24 Nov 2008 
Jamie Oliver does it again more fantastic recipes to try out. There's some good honest down to earth cooking here unlike some other cookbooks which are filled to bursting point with poncey recipes we can only gawp at.
My personal favourites here are the chapters on strawberries & feathered game & also the tips on growing your own fruit & veg.Oh & the homemade barbecue sauce is too die for. Keep em coming Jamie
easy, great food - By: Alison, 19 Nov 2008 
This is a lovely book with not only amazing, easy recipes but information on how to grow the ingredients. It is the book of recipes done on the T.V show which I also really enjoyed.
I recently made the steak, guinness & chedder pie & it was out of this world!
Such a good book, we're buying extras as gifts for friends - By: Lazy Lee, 04 Sep 2008 We've got a pretty complete collection of Jamie Oliver books so you would think there is a possibility he gets repetitive. Pleased to say however that he has come up with a big book (I think his heaviest to date) of fresh new ideas. Again, they are imaginative & appealing, while still being straightforward to reproduce. A sensible book to have.
