Rating: - Disappointing
I have tried four recipes from this book so far. The recipes are easy to follow, but the results don't taste very good. All have been disappointing and one was horrible.

I am a Jamie fan and have enjoyed some of his other books, but these recipes just aren't up to his usual standard.

Rating: - "Who are you, and what have you done with our Mum?"
I must own about 100 recipie books easily, maybe more. They cause me trouble in storing them and strife everytime we move...but no more ...I'm about to ditch most of them! I've had The Ministry for 3 weeks and have used more recipes from this than I have out of the other books combined!

Rating: - A book for the credit crunch?
I've always enjoyed his TV programmes and I've had a long hard look at Jamie's books over the last 2-3 years since teaching myself to cook - and to be honest, never fancied them at all.

Simple, straight forward and concise. the recipes tend to be orientated more towards an easy meal at the end of the day than the full blown dinner, which too many cookbooks tend to aspire to. And in this credit crunch era it's a ... Read More

Rating: - Disappointing especially if you're a beginner
I really wanted to like this book and hoped it would inspire me to learn to cook a few passable dishes (I find cooking a real chore and never really got round to learning it properly). But just reading the book put me right off - I found the dishes too fussy, used too many ingredients and not particularly appealing. Don't get me wrong, the recipes are probably ok for the average cook but I have my doubts that it will convert any reluctant cooks, certainly not me!
