Jamie Oliver

I just watched a documentary about Jamie Oliver, and I got to say, I do like him. Sure, he can be silly. Sure, sometimes he feels fairly.. oh, I don't know. Stuck up, perhaps? He certainly has evolved from his early days on TV. But anyway. I really like him. Not so much for his shows - I find them entertaining, especially the earlier years, but they're not that great - but for his cooking. I have all of his books, and I got to say.. his recipes really seem to work for me. His flavor combinations are awesome. I can't think of a single thing I've tried that I didn't like. (And I've tried quite a few things.)

So, for me, Jamie Oliver will continue to be a household name, and I'll definitely keep on cooking his food. And if you haven't tried any of his books, I suggest you start with Jamie's Dinners. It's my favorite of the bunch. Excellent food that's fast to make. And if you don't feel like getting a book, head over to his website. Or just try some of the recipes I've cooked from his books and blogged about! (Hrm - with some adaptions.)
