My new favorite book!



I've been a fan of Jamie Oliver for a few years. I've checked out his cook books from the library and made a few dishes here and there. At Christmastime my cool Mom gave me a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble and so the adventure begins(actually it took me a few months to finally convince myself I could buy the book even though it was not on sale). Fine so mid- June the adventure began. I know it's silly to love a cook book so much but I want to try almost everything in it. I've made 15 recipes so far. Some are better than others but all are delicious! Tonight I'm making two more. Gnocchi with mushrooms and sage (gnocchi from scratch) and for dessert Eton mess (meringue with strawberries and vanilla cream).

I think I've written before about how much I love to cook dinner. I don't. I'm having a lot of fun trying out all these recipes though. The book is only about 400 pages so it shouldn't take me long to whip ( get it, whip?) through it.
Check out Jamie Oliver's site for more fabulousness.

Will your kids eat what you cook?

Was it that you did not like to cook dinner, or that your kids very just a tad bitt too picky about it?

I need to put this on my to buy list... someday when I have a kitchen to cook in.... I still dream...
