Sixty years ago food was in short supply and malnutrition rates were high. The Ministry of Food was set up to teach the public how to make the best use of the food available to them. Fast forward to the present day, where we have unlimited choices and plenty of food, yet we're living in a world of junk food, additives and preservatives. Our war is now against obesity, as most people have little or no idea about how to cook and what makes a balanced diet.

We need to learn from the past. We need to look back at the way our grandmothers and great-grandmothers cooked - wholesome, tasty food that was simple and quick to prepare. If you're a complete beginner in the kitchen, Jamie's promise to you is that you'll be making some great dinners within hours of reading his book. A little knowledge and a few basic tools can go a long way, and this book is your first step . .

About the Author: Jamie Oliver

James Trevor 'Jamie' Oliver, MBE (born 27 May 1975), frequently nicknamed The Naked Chef, is an English chef and media personality well known for his growing list of food-focused television shows, his more recent roles in campaigning against the use of processed foods in national schools, and his campaign to change unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits for the better across the United Kingdom.
On 24th June 2000 Oliver married former model Juliette 'Jools' Norton. The couple met in 1993 and have three daughters: Poppy Honey Rosie (born 9 April 2002), Daisy Boo Pamela (born 10 April 2003), and Petal Blossom Rainbow (born 3 April 2009). Oliver announced Petal's birth via Twitter. They live in Clavering, Essex.
The Naked Chef (1998-1999) was Jamie Oliver's first series. The title was a reference to the simplicity of Oliver's recipes, and has nothing to do with nudity. Oliver has frequently admitted that he wasn't entirely happy with the title, which was devised by producer Patricia Llewellyn. (In the UK edit of the show, the opening titles include a clip of him telling an unseen questioner, "No way! It's not me, it's the food!") The success of the programme led to the books Return of the Naked Chef and Happy Days with the Naked Chef.

Jamie's Ministry of Food
Reviewed by Greg, 09/10/2009

I gave this book as a gift and was soon using it when asked what I wanted for dinner, or indeed what I was going to cook for dinner. This is an excellent book, and his easy to follow and unpretentious style helps you to come up with some gems. There are recipes and instructions on how to do just about everything in the kitchen.
