 The best book for family dinners ( am15 )
This is my ultimate favorite in recipe books. The recipes are easy and the instructions perfect. Jamie is one of the best chef's of his day. He just keeps surprising us with everything he does. These days he's gone organic and is gardening is own vegetables and fruit...excellent. I have other books by him too but this one I really like because the recipes are soooo easy and there are so many ideas for variation. Well done Jamie (once again)!

 This cookbook rocks!
This is a great, fun book. It really captures Jamies love of cooking, and presents it in a way that isnt hard to understand or intimidating at all for the novice cook. The recipes are very relaxed, the presentations are real looking in the photos. and there are photos of everything in the book..I sat down and read through the whole book like it was a novel. The only reason i gave four stars is that i tend to agree with another reviewer who said some of the ingredients arent readily available to us here in the US. I personally dont live in a town with a fresh food market, although i wish i did! All told, i was certainly inspired to try serveral of the recipes right away..yum! It gave me a new perspective on what i buy in the grocery store-fresh is best!

great all around cookbook
i got this book a few years ago when i first wanted to cook professionally. i am now a dinner chef at a cafe, and this is my go-to cookbook when i cant think of the last dinner special or salad for the night. everything is presented in an easy to follow, throw together style, and you rarely have need for a mesuring device other than your hands. i dont think ive made any recipe in this book that i havent liked. i have bought this book as a present on a few occassions for cooks of all levels. i definately recommend this book to anyone.

A must-have! ( catiw )
I just love this book! I'm an experienced cook and have tried tons of different recipes from books, cooking magazines, etc. but Jamie's Dinner still gave me new inspiration and great, healthy, esay-to-follow recipes. Best of all, his recipes are also designed for frugal chefs and emphasize seasonal ingredients. It's an awesome book for beginning cooks (think: your kid in college) and a beautiful gift for even the experienced cook. Two thumbs up!
