Recipes for the weekly rhythm

The variety of recipes inspires us - be it the “Batch-It-Up” Bolognese, which is ideal for using up leftovers, the Gochujang chicken noodle casserole or the epic Sticky Toffee Pudding. Jamie impressively demonstrates that delicious cooking doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Thanks to the clear instructions and easily accessible ingredients, the dishes are effortless even for beginners.

We particularly like the well thought-out structure of the book. The recipes adapt perfectly to our weekly rhythms: spontaneous 20-minute dishes for hectic days, simple ideas for stocking up when there's no time to go shopping and festive meals for the weekend. Jamie's suggestions for using up leftovers are also inspiring - practical and sustainable at the same time.

Our conclusion

“Simply Jamie” is a cookbook that no household should be without. The recipes are suitable for everyday use, creative and versatile. Jamie Oliver proves once again that cooking can be fun and uncomplicated at the same time. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants more inspiration and variety in the kitchen!

Communal catering is facing major challenges: Due to the increase in home office days, less food is being consumed in company canteens.
