For my daughter love it
by Catherine Gordon
Perfect for healthy cooking, recipes that I’ve tried so far are full of taste and contain loads of veggies. It’s very nice that there are a lot of different types of dishes (not just starters, mains or components that can be prepared in advance, but from British classics to Asian dishes, pastas, risottos, etc), though it isn’t easy sometimes to find everything on the list and there are a few too many salads for my taste. It would be helpful to have some information on alternatives when you e.g. can’t find sherry vinegar. That being said I’ve loved every recipe I’ve made so far and the information in the back of the book proves to be a good read – all about healthy eating, why it’s important, what different types of food or drinks do to your body etc. I bought the last Super Food book and (hopefully) looking forward to the next one! Hoping a next book will have a section on healthy puds

Hmmm, Super Food Family Classics is not quite what I was expecting, hence the missing *.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Jamie and have all his books. I’ve been excitedly waiting for this one (being mum of two – a very picky 8yr old and a pretty adventurous 4yr old), but on reading it cover to cover upon arrival yesterday, I’m a bit little disappointed.
I should add that I’ve not cooked from it as yet, and have sticky-noted lots of recipes to try – but from the title, I was expecting far more of the healthy twists on familiar family and child/husband(!) friendly classics rather than just a few of those alongside an extension to those seen in Everyday Superfood book (there are no repeats, just the same vein).
The book itself though, is gorgeous both inside and out. Under the slip cover shown is a neon orange matte cover with black typeface that will stand out amongst the largest of cookbook collections. Beautiful photography and superbly laid out, in the same style as Everyday Superfood. You also have nutritional advice for each recipe and the dishes have been calorie counted (breakfasts 400cal, others 600) and tons of other advice at the back.
I’m really hoping time will show this to become a favourite.

To start my review with a summary, this is a great book for Jamie Oliver fans and also for those who want some fairly fuss free recipes that are a bit more health conscious than your regular books (note Jamie says the word ‘family’ to him means food that’s “cosy, comforting and made for sharing”).
If looking to quickly understand if this book is for you or not, I would recommend glancing at the RECIPE LIST at the end of my review, the book for me is a great combination of classic recipes as well as new and different dishes, which I personally like but I appreciate these may not appeal to everyone.
I own Jamie’s other ‘Everyday Super Food’ book and this one is a great addition to my cook book collection, the meals are all relatively easy to make, and the large majority of recipes contain foods / flavour combinations that my family and I love.
So to start with a few basic points about the book:
– It’s excellent quality (as regular JO readers most likely come to expect) – the pages, recipe layouts, photos are all great
– Every recipe has a photo – big bonus points from me, and the fact Jamie has taken the photos himself adds to that feeling you know these recipes are tried and tested
– Every recipe has nutritional information of: calories, fat, sat far, protein, carbs, sugar, salt, fibre and “fruit / veg” portion
– There are almost no sweet / dessert recipes in the book (just fruit ice lollies and some sweet breakfast treats)
– Every recipe gives serving sizes clearly and time to make (again so useful)
– Some recipes have a “get ahead” tip for parts of the recipe you can make ahead
– All recipes in the ‘breakfast’ section are under 400 calories, all others are 600 or less per serving.
– Each meal contains at least 2 portions of fruit and veg
The book has 9 main recipe sections (for a full recipe list please see the end of my review):
Breakfast
Quick fixes
Healthy Classics
Salads
Curries and stews
Traybakes (all savoury)
Pasta and risotto
Soups
Kitchen Hacks
There is one additional section of the book called “Health and Happiness” which contains Jamie’s advice on things such as ‘how to nutritionally balance your plate and other life tips such as ‘why fibre is cool’ and ‘the genius of chewing’. I have yet to get through all these tips but this is something I always feels adds to Jamie’s books, and you can always ignore this section if you’re just after the recipes.
So how do the recipes fare in practice? Well both of the recipes we have tried so far were super tasty but one was a little more time consuming than the other (but still very easy to do). At the time of writing there are three recipes available to trial online, again I would recommend you do this if still unsure if the food is for you (I can’t link from my review but if you do a quick search you will find them!).
The first recipe we tried was the Mango teriyaki salmon (with brown rice & chilli cucumber pickle). The ingredients were all things we had in or were all easy to come by, the recipe advised 50 minutes to prep and me and my wife prepping together took around 35 minutes (so longer than advertised if working alone) – but I know the next time we do it will be quicker. But the dish tasted wonderful, and was very different to anything we’d ever have been able to improvise with ourselves.
The other much easier recipe ‘proper chicken nuggets’ went down so well with everyone and these will be added to the family ‘usuals’ – just sweet paprika, wholemeal bread, garlic and a few other bits, coat some chicken and pop them in the oven. Very nice indeed.
So as per usual I am really pleased to own another Jamie Oliver book, I feel his recipes never fail and he is up there with Delia for me in terms of reliable recipes. This book is jam packed full of tasty healthy recipes, and as I work my way through them I will update this review. What me (and family) would love next is a Super Foods book for those with a sweet tooth… or perhaps that defeats the point – and maybe that’s what his book ‘Comfort Food’ is for?
All in all very highly recommended for Jamie fans and those that want to eat right with uncomplicated recipes. Thoroughly recommended.

I have been following Jamie Oliver for a while and wanted this cookbook. I saw that it was available and noticed this seller was selling for such a cheap price in comparison. It arrived extremely promptly and I would say although it stated it was used and in good condition I thought it looked grand new. Thank you for making my day. The price was brilliant and no delivery charge either. Will defo be considering this seller again.
