5 Ingredients - Quick & Easy Food

As advertised! I things come out great which is really surprising that its just 5 main ingredients. Can't wait to try it all.

Perfect

Interesting recipes

This book had literally changed my life. After living on ready made meals most of my life the idea of eating better appealed to me. Then Jamie came along with the fantastic idea of putting this collection of recipes together all with just 5 ingredients. Game changer for me cooking fresh every single day. No ready meals, no takeaways. Losing weight, feeling better and enjoying cooking. My son has loved everything I have cooked so far. Brilliant idea! Brilliant book!

I'm torn by this book.I really like Jamie Oliver and a lot of his books and series and his social media content in general is great and a lot of the recipes in this book are good.The premise of this book is good but I feel it is also what let's it down the whole 5 ingredient thing holds it back. Some of the recipes just seem like the are missing something and others seem like a bit of filler for the book.Overall some good recipes and some not so great.

So easy to follow. Perfect for midweek meals. So quick and easy. A picture with every recipe which I really love in any cook book. Nothing too fancy the store cupboard ingredients are really that mostly just oil and red wine vinegar. As a family of 4 with 2 young children 6 and 8 we eat from this book most days. By far the best Jamie Oliver book.

As a mad keen home cook I have loads of cook books from all the well and not so well known chefs. I have quite a few of Jamie's and was eager to get my hands on this one!It's a typical Jamie Oliver Cookbook - nicely put together - very easy to understand - dead easy to follow the well written recipes and he provides us with a nice colour photograph of how the finished dish should look. Not that it always does in my case!Each left hand page shows you the 5 ingredients down the left side and has the nutritional info along the bottom. The right hand page is a full colour photograph of the finished dish. Really plain and easy to follow.I have already made the Asian Fried eggs which were delicious and I'm making the Nutty Kale Salad for my dinner in work tonight.If you want to see what's inside before you buy - here's a list of the dishes/recipes in order as they are presented in the book. . . .SALADSHoisin Chicken Lettuce CupsCarrot and Grain SaladSorta Salmon NicoiseHarissa Squash SaladBroad Bean SaladSmoked Salmon PlatesDuck and Orange SaladTuna Butter Bean SaladBeef Beets and HorseradishCherry Chard Wild RiceCrispy Smoked MackerelTasty Warm Lentil SaladTahini Carrot SlawWatermelon Radish and Feta SaladProscittu Celeriac SaladSweet Potato SaladNutty Kale SaladPASTASuper Green SpaghettiEasy Sausage CarbonaraCrab Fennel SpaghettiAubergine Penne ArrabiataHot Smoked Salmon PastaSicilian Tuna PastaLemony Courgette LinguineGarlic Mushroom PastaSpicy 'Nduja VongolePork Porcini PastaPear and Gorgonzola FarfalleRose Pesto Prawn PastaEGGSScrambled Egg OmeletteEgg and Mango Chutney FlatbreadsKorean Eggs and RiceAsian Fried EggsChilli Crab Silky OmeletteHot Smoked Salmon FritattaAll Day Mexican BreakfastEgg Ribbon SaladSmoky Mushroom FrittataCHICKENSticky Kickin WingsRoast Tikka ChickenChicken Noodle Stir FryChicken Pot PieGnarly Peanut ChickenHarissa Chicken TraybakeCrispy Garlicky ChickenThai Red Chicken SoupSweet Cicken SurpriseFlaky Pastry Pesto ChickenCreamy Mustard ChickenSticky Hoisin ChickenHerby Chicken TraybakeFISHSmoky Chorizo SalmonCrazy Simple Fish PieSizzling Seared ScallopsQuick Asian FishcakesCrispy Squid and Smashed AvoSeared Sesame TunaSo Easy Fish CurryCrispy Skin Lemon SoleCreamy Cornish MusselsSmoky Pancetta CodAsian Tuna Steak SaladSticky Mango PrawnsOne Pan Fabulous FishThai Style Crispy Sea BassSpeedy Spiced Prawn SoupVEGPotato and Artichoke Al FornoGnarly Garlic BrusselsSpiced Whole Roast CauliSpeedy Spinach CurryAsparagus Eggs and French DressingBaked Garlicky MushroomsEasy Rustic GnocciAmazing Dressed BeetsPapa Al Pomdoro SoupCajun Sweet PotatoPeas Beans Chilli And MintSticky Terriyaki AubegineBEEFEpic Rib Eye SteakGinger Shakin BeefSizzling SirloinItalian Seared BeefMessy Meatball BunsSteak SandwichBangin Beef StewDukkah Beef CarpaccioMeltin Mustardy BeefLiver Bacon OnionsRendang Beef and Cauli RicePORKCrazy Good Pork BurgerSausage and Apple BakePork and Mash GratinGolden Pork EscalopePeachy Pork ChopsChickpea Chard PorkSticky Pork StirfryComforting Sausage BakeLAMBTender Lamb ShoulderLamb Kofta FlatbreadsLovely Lamb HotpotsAromatic Lamb CurryAle Barley Lamb ShanksSpring LambSucculent Lamb StewSticky Lamb ChopsRICE AND NOODLESEgg Fried RiceSweet&Sour Chicken NoodlesBaked Saffron RiceBlack Tahini NoodlesSpiced Lentils and RiceSesame Shiitake Egg NoodlesItalian Baked RiceHam & Egg Curried NoodlesHoisin Pak Choi RiceSWEET TREATSCherry Chocolate MousseAlmond Pastry PuffApple Crumble CookiesOrange Polenta CakeChocolate Rye CookiesSpeedy Steamed Pudding PotsFlaming Rum N RaisinChocolate Orange ShortbreadPeach and Almond AlaskaPlum Tarte TatinPineapple CarpaccioFrozen Banoffee ChesecakeWatermelon GranitaBoozy Pears and ChocolateMango Rice PuddingHoney Berry Filo SmashBuddy's Flapjack BiscuitsWalnut Whip AffogatoSt Clements Polents BiscuitsBerry Meringue RippleThere's nutritional notes at the back of this book in regards to how to balance your plate with Veg and Fruit - carbs - Proteins - Dairy - fats and Oils.I really like this one from Jamie. It's clear, concise and very easy to follow. As somebody who grows theIr own veg I found there's loads of good veggie options in here too. Loving the egg dishes in here as well. I think I'll be buying a few for christmas for foodie freinds.Recommended.

If you buy one cookbook this year, make it this one. Such fantastic variety of recipes broken into sections like pasta, fish, chicken etc No “weird” ingredients, so easy to prepare and yet so tasty. We have a very busy week with school, clubs and work but since having got this book we have had such tasty meals without any stress whatsoever to cook. It has become a family favourite to refer to. Get it! You will not regret it at all.
