Is just another cookbook.

I flipped throught the pages in WHS the other day and I'm so disappointed. He really has lost touch. The recipes are again using expensive ingredients for the average family, and the techniques are not basic!

I admire all he's done for helping kids eat better at school, but families are not going to want to cook the meals suggested in this book. They are just not simple enough.


Pass me the remote love.....

....and another thing while I'm on my soapbox.

I'm sick of the celebrity chef's self-promoting food products! When the go on to us on TV about cooking with fresh products and making things from scratch....and then fill the shopping aisles with pre-packaged and over-priced foods.

All these products say to me is 'I'm a chef and I want to be a lot richer that I already am'. Please help people make the good food choices that you preach about so much. Not rip thm off and fill your pockets.

This isn't just aimed at Jamie, but all of them

I disagree. The new book is great! Im a student and i got it for christmas, fair enough, a few of the things in it are expensive but its helped me learn about food more. It tells you a lot about different foods like salads, meats, herbs, spices, pastas etc. I enjoyed making the food in it, and will make most of it again!

It has taught me a lot and i think it is a very good book for reference and also for some really nice meals!
