Something for the Weekend: Pocket Penguins
£2.60
Every book tells a story… And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth of quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935, and that continues to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin.
No.43 Jamie Oliver- Something for the Weekend Jamie Oliver was a relative unknown when he became a Penguin author in 1999. Six TV series and worldwide sales of more than eight million copies of his five books later, he is one of the UK’s favourite chefs and an international celebrity who has changed the face of the cookbook. In Something for the Weekend, Jamie pulls together a selection of crowd-pleasers to liven up anybody’s Sunday dinner, whether you’re partial to traditional fare or you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous.

This is really good as a small, postable pressie: good recipes, no pics but you don’t really need them with his recipes.

I was bought this as an xmas present, and have already made some of the recipes. Some seem quite complicated, but I am sure they will be worth it!! A very good book. highly recommend it.

this is a great little book thats small enough to take on holiday caravanning and camping for a few extra food ideas and great things to make with the kids

This book has good recipes but there are not that many of then and no pictures! You would be better of paying more for a full-size book.

Love the little gem.

It should be noted that these little books are short & sweet ~ simply ‘tastes’ of the authors, from Pocket Penguin ~ hence the cover price! A thin card cover, matte finish paper for the 64 pages, with a fairly small print and NO illustrations.
~ Pocket Penguin 43: ‘Something for the Weekend’, by Jamie Oliver.
Jamie pulls together a selection of recipes to liven up Sunday dinner for the traditional cook, or someone a little more ambitious.
‘The book is called this because the weekend is when I get an opportunity to cook at home and have a wicked time with my family and friends. And now I’ve got kids, the weekends are so important for cooking with them ~ I find it really grounding and always have such a laugh with them.
Remember ~ cooking is supposed to be fun and not a chore.
So here is a collection of some of my favourite recipes from the books I’ve written over the past few years.
I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun with them, so roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.
This collection of recipes couldn’t be more apt ~ it really is ‘something for the weekend’, whether you’re looking for breakfast ideas, snacks, lazy lunches, proper dinner parties or whether you’re after a really good party cake recipe.
Have a great weekend cooking.
And, Happy Birthday Penguin.’
