Those of you who are devoted fans of the Food Network have probably seen the exuberant, fast-talking English chef, Jamie Oliver on TV. His latest book, just arrived at the library, is a companion to the series
Jamie At Home, and is filled with pictures of his own garden. This garden is the centerpiece of his shift to home-grown, seasonal, and local ingredients with an emphasis on simplicity and clean, fresh flavors. Needless to say, this is essentially a vegetable cookbook, but vegetables cooked Jamie's way are usually so good, you could eat a big plate just by themselves! Healthy and waistline-friendly cooking that is easy and delicious-now isn't that the good life.
