This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavours all year round.
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.

Italy has inspired Jamie Oliver throughout his career. His ambition has always been to travel across the country on a quest to capture the very essence of Italian cooking – and to produce the best and simplest Italian cookbook for everybody anywhere to enjoy.
Jamie's Italy is a result of that journey – and it's a land of plenty. As well as more than 120 brand new recipes for everything from risotto to roasts and spaghetti to stews, structured like a traditional trattoria menu, Jamie takes you all over Italy to cook with and learn from the real masters of Italian cuisine: the locals. Far from the standard ‘lemons and olives' version of Italian cooking, Jamie's Italy is a cookbook by the people for the people. From Sicily to Tuscany, it's about the local fishermen, family bakers and of course, the ‘Mamas', sharing their recipes and the tips that have gone into their cooking for generations. But it's not only mouth-watering food that Jamie brings back home: it's also the spirit that makes cooking and eating absolutely central to family life whichever part of Italy you're in.
Bursting with the warmth and hospitality of real family life, this is both a superbly accessible cookbook and a unique travelogue and diary, in which you'll find the authentic flavour of Italy and the people who live there. If you love quality food prepared with genuine passion – you'll never want to leave Jamie's Italy.

This book isn't about creating restaurant food. It's about giving you quality options for the way you and your family live now. Most of the recipes use ingredients you can buy in any high street, and you'll find accessible, affordable new ideas for all the old favourites: soups, salads, pasta, meat, fish, desserts, and creative veg; alongside some truly groundbreaking stuff. For example, there's a whole chapter on the not-so humble sarnie. There's a genius section called Family Tree, showing you how, by mastering one core principal, you can expand your repertoire as a cook and start thinking about food in a whole new way. There's also The Top Ten: the best recipes for the ten favourite meals in the whole world, as voted for by thousands of people globally on Jamie's website. You'll also find a list of producers and suppliers, and tips on the best way to lay out your kitchen.
Jamie's Dinners is the people's cookbook. Everything you'll ever need to know to feed yourself and your family properly for life. What could be more important than that?

Accompanying Jamie Oliver's the TV series - where he sets up a restaurant which is also a school for young chefs - Jamie's Kitchen is the ultimate guide for people who love great food and want to cook. It's packed with clear, no-nonsense advice and inspiration, as well as over 100 brand-new recipes from the cookery course and the restaurant.

Jamie guides you through different cooking methods - from poaching and boiling, to char-grilling and pot-roasting. He encourages you to have confidence, a sense of independence, a laugh and - importantly - to be the boss in your own kitchen. Check out the hints and tips on how to take recipes in different directions and on how to be inspired when shopping - spotting what's good, what's in season and what's good value.
It's like having Jamie in the kitchen with you, helping out with great advice and shortcuts to fantastic cooking, remembering all the tough stuff, so you don't have to. In no time at all, he'll have you trying loads of new ideas as well as cooking up a storm with old favourites.
