Cook with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook (2007)Jamie Oliver
You may be familiar with Jamie Oliver from The Naked Chef on TV or his cookbook of the same name. Oliver has put together another cookbook only this time it focuses on teaching you how to cook. Recipes are organized by categories -- salads, pasta, meat, fish, vegetables, and desserts. The emphasis is on fresh and seasonal ingredients and Oliver provides great introductions to each section of the book.
Oliver introduces the book by explaining why he decided to write a cookbook for people learning to cook. It stems from his Fifteen cookery course for students at his restaurants. Throughout the recipes, Oliver gives great tips and advice on how to shop for ingredients as well as how to put the dishes together. Tips on knife skills, wine pairings, herbs and spices provide excellent insight for new and experienced cooks alike.
