Jamie's America: Easy Twists on Great American Classics, and More

by Jamie Oliver

Book Overview

The incredible diversity in American cooking was a real revelation to me. So although I went looking for "quintessential American food," my conclusion is that there is no such thing; instead there's a huge wealth of seriously exciting dishes. Many of us outside of America may think we already know all there is to know about it from movies or the occasional holiday, but the truth is that this doesn't even scratch the surface.

Customer Reviews

Love the recipes!

I really love this book! There are so many great recipe's, and Jamie's writing of food just gets you excited to cook! Beautiful images and descriptive recipes. I have been truly inspired by this recipe book, and have made several things with great success so far. Highly recommended!

Brilliant

I was shocked to see how few stars this has, but then noticed most of the bad reviews are about order problems rather than the book! Let me put in my five stars vote. The stories in here are great, the photos are wonderful, and the recipes look awesome. He does a good coverage of different parts of the U.S., and I thought the section on the Navajo was particularly interesting and inspiring. Don't hesitate -- it's great.

Unlikely American Cookbook

I received this as a present and I absolutely LOVE it! It's such an unlikely collection of American foods. Important to note that, at least my version, is in metric cooking units and not American as this was a cookbook made for other countries to experience American foods. I love Jamie's stories about the places he visits and the art in the cookbook really make it stand out. I've already made a few recipes as well and they are delicious!

OK

Too bad I could not add wrapping paper or any congratulatory message for the recipient.
