5 Ingredients: Quick & Easy Food – Jamie Oliver
The title says it all. Every recipe in Jamie Oliver’s new book uses just five key ingredients (give or take some seasoning that you probably already have in the pantry) so you can make a really quick supermarket run after work and still whip up a beautiful, fuss-free meal. In it, you’ll find a visual ingredient guide, serving size, timings, a short, easy-to-follow method, and quick-reference nutritional information. Think Roast tikka chicken over golden potatoes and tender cauliflower or Crazy simple fish topped off with crisp filo, and ready to devour in less than 30 minutes.
