This book is spoiled by a mad excess of artwork all over most pages which obscures the text and in many places makes reading impossible. Trying to use this book is very frustrating...whoever was responsible for this design mess should go back to Art School for a refresher course I expect the recipes are OK , but how would I get to know?

An older book of Jamie's that I've been wanting for ages after seeing TV repeats of the programme that accompanies this book. Full of handy & interesting facts about different vegetables, how to grow, harvest & store them in your garden/balcony/potting bucket, plus many good, simple, lovely recipes using them. I've already tried three recipes and had good success with them. And, as always with Jamie recipes, it's totally fine to tweak them yourself to suit your needs and your current store cupboard ingredients. I picked this up on eBay second-hand for 2 quid and consider myself rather lucky as it is a great buy!!!

I bought this book mainly because i have started to grow my own fruit and veg and i wanted some tips. I remember seeing the "Jamie at Home" series on the T.V and i was curious to see if the book lived up to the T.V series. I have to admit i was a little disappointed that is wasn't as "scrapbook" as i had expected. I wanted it to be more like what the programme suggested it might be but thats really just cosmetic. The book is divided into recipes based around the different things you can grow. For example there is a chapter on strawberries with some great strawberry recipes. Then at the end of the chapter there are some detailed tips and advice about how to grow your own strawberries. This is the part i was most interested in as i have fantasies about living the good life and trundling outside to pick my own fruit and veg. I found the advice very helpful and was really pleased. The recipes are what you would expect from Jamie Oliver, very easy to do with an excellent selection and some original twists on everyday meals. I'm glad i bought this book, it's a lovely addition to my kitchen and i'm enjoying using the produce i have grown myself to cook some varied dishes. I would recommend this book and certainly buy it again.Read full review
Amazing book, I can't wait to grow my veggies in my new garden. We've grown them last year, but with tips and tricks from the book it'll be just perfect- The recipes are really good. I absolutely love this book!

My mum has been watching this on catch up. As her birthday was coming up I found a second hand copy and the content is amazing. Not only the usual recipes featured in the series but how and when to plant the vegetables and even ideas on where to buy the seeds. Lovely lay out and easy to read. A great book.
