I went from Zero to Hero in the Kitchen!
My wife tells me this book has turned me into a gourmet chef overnight. I'm a husband in his 40's and I don't cook anything in the kitchen (my wife does all the cooking). I bought this book and I've cooked my 4th "gourmet" style meal now after having the book for a few weeks. And now my wife says my dishes are better than hers! The recipes are easy to follow. Look, I used to never cook in the kitchen but, with this book, I'm now cooking gourmet "looking" meals! The recipes in this book are easy to follow. Among a few of the recipes I've cooked so far are the Easy Sausage Carbonara, Smoky Chorizo Salmon, and Sticky Pork Stir Fry. Yesterday my wife and I ate an appetizer calamari at a Thai restaurant and had drinks. Afterwards, we went home and I cooked the Asian Tuna Steak Salad and it was better than the calamari we had at the Thai Restaurant! What I will say is there is always one ingredient among the 5 ingredients that may be hard to find. For me, I check Walmart.Com to see if there are any local stores that have the ingredient I need. Also, the local Pavillions Supermarket (here in Southern California) seems to have the ingredients I need a lot of the time. So far, after cooking 4 meals, I haven't had to buy any ingredients from Amazon. There are actually more than 5 ingredients needed per recipe. Salt, Pepper, Oil are always needed but you'll likely be asked to use Red Wine Vinegar. But to me, this is fine because, apparently, every kitchen should have Red Wine Vinegar. I love this book and it was well worth the over $20 we spent to buy it! Hopefully there are more books like this for after I've gone through all most of the recipes over the next few months!

LOVE THIS! Easy recipes- it's teaching me how to add flavor easily
I buy a lot of cookbooks - love reading cookbooks and can usually find a few favorite new recipes in each. I have never posted a cookbook review before - just haven't had such a strong reaction to other books. I have found, by far, the most new recipes that we will continue to eat repeatedly over time from this book than any other I have gotten in the past few years. This is due to the simplicity of prep and what seems like gourmet results. Some reviewers mention unusual ingredients .... Yes, since the recipes use only 5 ingredients, I am finding these ingredients that are new to me, are an EASY way to add great depth of flavor easily - without having to combine tiny bits of many individual seasonings and spices. I am also finding that many of the asian pastes or sauces listed are easy to find at my grocery store and prevent me from needing to spend a lot of time building sauces or marinades. I am enjoying learning how to use these and am amazed at the results I'm getting from the recipes. My family has loved the recipes I have tried so far. The recipes are low carb, healthy and follow my Dr's recommendations for healthy eating AND are delicious. (Let's be honest, healthy and delicious are not always BOTH used to describe the same recipe) I love that these recipes are quick and do-able for dinner on a work night. I would highly recommend this book to people who love food, are open to trying new flavor profiles and are trying to simplify meal prep.

Another great book by Jamie
The recipes are so quick and so easy and taste so good. You can feel even through the book as you can by watching him on the television that this man loves what he does.
