Jamie at Home
by Jamie Oliver
Discover the art of cooking simply and naturally with Jamie Oliver's bestselling Jamie at Home
'This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavours all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly... my vegetable patch!
I came to realise last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground.' - Jamie
Jamie at Home has a seasonal piece of veg as the star of each chapter and shares Jamie's favourite recipes for fresh ingredients you can grow in your own back garden. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift for a friend (why not try Jamie's beautiful chutneys, pickled veg or homemade ketchup) or a healthy meal the whole family will enjoy like creamy Courgette Carbonara followed by Rhubarb and Custard Soufflé, Jamie at Home has something for everyone.
Inside Jamie at Home you'll find over 100 new recipes from Jamie Oliver, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well!
