I have all of this dudes books and I’m impressed with this one I’ve raved to everyone about it really easy to follow and yes you only need 5 ingredients!! I mean you obviously need salt and pepper and butter etc but this is saying only 5 ingredients for the meal. So yeah would recommend for a Xmas gift to anyone you know is a foodie like me x

Great book for beginners. It will be good for students and people on a small food budget.
If you’re an expert it’s a good base to get some inspiration and you can then remix it to your liking.
Also great if you like cooking but don’t have time for lengthy recipes .

…‘with the added va-va-voom of basing it on my lifelong experiences travelling around the Mediterranean…
…holding your hand and guiding you to make everyday cooking super-exciting, but with minimal fuss…’
n.b. With 5 key ingredients (‘key’ being the word) for each recipe, it is naturally assumed, even if a beginner, that you have other basic ‘everyday ingredients’ to hand, i.e.:
~ OLIVE OIL
~ EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
~ RED WINE VINEGAR
~ SEA SALT
~ BLACK PEPPER
The cheering colour of orange (more neon-like in hand) will always draw my eye to a cookbook, although for me, the food on the plate on the front cover is not the best choice it could have been.
But, it’s only the cover!
Inside, it is a logically presented, colourful volume packed with, IMO, generally achievable recipes, if a Med. influence is your choice.
If in doubt, I am sure that the encouragement & enthusiasm in the TV series of the same name will keep Mr Oliver at the top of the game, when it comes to air.
~ ‘It is so good; so simple.’
The current LOOK INSIDE facility above gives an idea of the layout.

~ 2023 (August 31st)
???? From the back cover (image below refers):
~ ‘A celebration of hero Mediterranean flavours and ingredients
~ Quick and easy recipes for exciting everyday cooking’
Measuring roughly 19.5 cm x 25 cm, the hardback book, with raised main titling on the front cover, includes handy hints & tips.
The 320 page book is divided into 10 main SECTIONS, namely:
~ SALADS
~ SOUPS & SARNIES
~ PASTA
~ VEG
~ PIES & PARCELS
~ SEAFOOD
~ FISH
~ CHICKEN & DUCK
~ MEAT
~ SWEET THINGS
Uniform in the presentation, the recipe is on the left-hand page, with a picture of the completed dish on the right-hand side, together with 5 smaller pictures of the key ingredients.
Montages of on-location pictures are also included, across double-page spreads.
The book starts with a dedication, followed by the usual chatty introduction and winds up with a comprehensive alphabetical index that follows ‘Helpful Kitchen Notes’, further ‘Nutritional’ notes, etc. + the usual acknowledgements.

Bought this book after watching the recent TV series. I love the simple concept of only five ingredients to make a quick and easy meal with a minimum of washing up. Most of the ingredients are easily available in any supermarket even though Tesco has a lot of product placement going on. Except that I can’t find fresh oregano (or marjoram) anywhere at the moment.

Another good book from Jamie, well worth buying
by poetess
I wish Jamie would for once produce a set of recipes that didn’t depend so consistently on carbs. For families with teenagers I guess they have to be there, but there is life after starch

My friend lives this programme so I bought as gift. Hope she likes!
