This cookbook had everything I look for in a cookbook and more! I love to cook and I won't buy a cookbook unless it is easy to read, easy to understand and most of all, easy to bring the recipes to life. When I got Jamie's book I couldn't wait to try out each and every one of the recipe's because he made them so that even the "cooking challenged" could figure them out and make a beautiful dish.

Excellent cookbook. Jamie is very detailed and gives very clear instructions. He goes into detail (in his rather humerous way) regarding what kind of meat to purchase, what supplies you'll need, type of knives and why one is better than another, cookware, etc. It will make you a better cook, for sure. And the recipes are excellent.
