Hi Deb – I really like Jamie’s new show too. I love the way they managed to make all of the dishes look so beautiful but rustic – it looks low key but I imagine it all took some food stylist aaaages!
Kate – I’m impressed that you managed to get hold of a copy! I must admit I haven’t made any of the recipes, it was more the tips that grabbed my attention. I think I’ll try the avocado salad sometime though (and maybe the chicken with tarragon)
Hi Antonia – glad you liked them. I wouldn’t normally pass these kinds of tips on (they’re usually a bit dull) but these definitely seemed a bit different
Maninas – funnily I just answered your comment on the UK food bloggers blog thingummy before I read this! You’ll see what I wrote over there but in brief I like Delicious and BBC good food Mag best (Sainsburys Magazine often has nice recipes too!)

Thanks for sharing these!
When we’re on the subject of Jamie, I’ve been watching the show, too, and I love it! I’ve tried a few things, too, and they turned out well. He is a good teacher. The only thing that’s a bit of a minus, is that he looks so tense, and also serious, that it’s not quite in accordance with the setting and the idea of the programme.
Also,
HEY EVERYONE,
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD MAGAZINE? I’m very curious to see what you think!
Cheers! :)

Thank you for sharing these great tips – I usually get cross with the New Year magazine supplements on healthy eating but these tips are actually useful and inventive!

Great suggestions! Sounds like a good magazine. I will have to see if it available here in the States. I have been watching Jamie’s new show on the Food Network here, and in fact made one of his dishes a couple of weeks ago. Very good! I like his show as the setting is pretty neat and the recipes are down to earth with no fancy ingredients. I can even manage them! I have not bought his book yet, but want to check out next time I am at the bookstore!

What a nice friend you have Wendy! There are a few good recipes tucked away in the supplement I thought – that salad with the avocado dressing look particularly nice.
Jamie at Home is a lovely book – a friend who knows me well bought it me for Christmas. That said, I haven’t made much from it yet because the recipes are arranged by season and many of the Winter recipes are pudding/meat focused which is not how I’ve been eating recently. Nik is doing a duathlon at the weekend so I’m going to make him something nice from the book for afterwards. I reckon if you like Jamie’s books normally then this one is definitely worth having. I love it for the photography/styling which is all beautiful and rustic like on the TV programme. There are also has some good tips in it if you are into growing your own veg.
Hi Zoe – I wondered if the UK and Oz versions share recipes too! There are some aussie contributors in this issue (Bill Granger and Jill Dupleix) and I imagine the mix of Australian and English works well for both audiences. It’s a shame our seasons are completely opposite otherwise we would have been able to compare notes!
Hello Andreaa, it’s lovely to hear from you back from your holiday. I hope you had a wonderful time in Brazil!

PS What are your thoughts on “Jamie At Home”? Notice you are reading it and I haven’t bought it yet. Love all his other books.

My best friend bought me a year’s subscription to Delicious for Christmas. How well does she know me? :)
This was the first issue I got from it and I almost threw the supplement away because I thought it’d be so very obvious, but there were quite a few nice ideas in there.
