Dagmar: It's probably his best one so far (in my opinion), and worth the purchase! Simonetta: His attitude to food for kids is inspiring, and should encourage many more people to do the same. Andrew: I'll agree with you on Nigel Slater - he's a great cook with a unique style. Lil: He's great, but his problem of late is appearing on our TVs more in adverts then on cooking programmes!

He comes in for a lot of stick but he has done a lot of good. For one, his was the first cookbook I was ever bought and although I never use it now, it had an important effect on me. However, I wasn't impressed with this book. First, because there are better books doing the same thing, notably The Cook's Book, where you can learn from some of the world's best chefs. Second, because Jamie has been a bit naughty in his product placement. Somewhere early in this book he goes into great detail about what every kitchen needs. One of the things he mentions is a 'flavour shaker'. Which just happens to be some bizarre new age pepper grinder that is branded by him. He forgets to make any mention of his involvement in the book.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('258','Silverbrow'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('258','Silverbrow','I\'m not fussed about Jamie.

It looks like a good practical cookbook. Very cheap at Sainsbury's too, FYI - I think I saw it for £12.99?
