Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Book

Five Ingredients – Quick and Easy Food, the latest book and TV series from Jamie Oliver, is set to reaffirm him as our best friend in the kitchen as he proves, yet again, that cooking for our friends and family doesn’t have to be complicated.

Tried, tested, tasted and tested again, every one of the 130+ recipes is a no-fuss, budget-friendly dish that can be rustled up easily, any day of the week. Ideal for busy families, students who love to entertain, and time-poor working couples, there’s plenty of inspiration to help you get the most flavour from any ingredient. From plates of food that can be on the table super-fast, to dishes that let the oven do the hard work for you after a little hands-on prep – Jamie’s talking quality over quantity, in return for massive flavour.

All about making the journey to good food super-simple – each recipe uses just five key ingredients, making every dish fast and simple to prepare with just a little diligence – yet they’re all packed with flavour and easy to achieve. Like Roast Tikka Chicken, a whole bird rubbed with curry paste, roasted over golden potatoes and tender cauliflower, and finished with fresh coriander – or Crazy Simple Fish Pie, with flaky smoked haddock, spring onions, spinach and melting cheddar topped with golden filo pastry.

In addition to inspiration, every recipe also gives you a visual ingredient guide, serving size, timings, a short, easy-to-follow method, and quick-reference nutritional information.
