Cook with Jamie

Went down to Borders yesterday to pick up Kevin's birthday present The Dangerous Book for Boys which I am sure that he will enjoy himself plus his 4 rather dangerous boys. Yup, boys just love a little rough handling, and I was pretty much bitten by Ian who was probably pretending to be a dinosaur or something other.

Also bought Cook with Jamie. I had laid my eyes on this book a couple of months ago, but never had the heart to buy it. (Too expensive!) However, Laura gave me a 30% voucher which I used to buy the book. The book is so handsomely illustrated with techniques, descriptions, pictures... and so invitingly, casually written. Its the kind of book that so inspiring that it just makes you want to get out of your armchair on experiment with his concoctions. I also like how patiently he explains things that other cooks just assume that you know. Currently exploring his website now... www.jamieoliver.com/
