Jamie Oliver's Recipes

Jamie Oliver recipes are very much in demand right now. After all, Mr. Jamie Oliver was just awarded the TEDPrize for his accomplishments in the realm of cooking and healthy eating advocacy. True enough, he deserves that prestigious award for all the work he's been doing in the United Kingdom and in the United States.

Jamie Oliver's cookbooks may be too expensive for you. Even his DVDs and his movies might not be suitable for your budget. But rest assured that you have some options. Turn to the World Wide Web and you will see some free resources that you can use for your own use and for your family's!

The website of this famous chef teems with recipes. You can pick your own. Are you after main courses? You can easily find some Italian dishes-pizza, pasta, carbonara and lasagna. Just look for these keywords in the website and you'll be amazed at the range of choices that you have.

You can also see some beef, bread, chicken and cheese recipes. There are also some selections from American cuisine. If you want Asian food, you can also go to the section of the website dedicated to that.

To keep track of the recipes that are being added to the website, you can subscribe via RSS. If you have some recipes you'd like to share to other members of the community, you can add them.

How can you maximize this free resource from Jamie Oliver online?

Find out your preference and that of your family's. Sure, kids don't like veggies most of the time but you can train them to eat veggies. Some of the recipes from the website actually taste good and will neutralize some of the hesitation of your kids.

Find out your budget. How much are you willing to pay for home-cooked meals? Just specify how much, look at the ingredients listed in the site, buy those and start cooking. This way, you won't have to pay out of your pocket and you can enjoy the best meal given your budget.

Patiently search for the right recipe. The website will not give you exactly what you need, you will have to determine which ones appeal to you and which ones do not. Just be patient in searching. Sometimes, people feel that searching for the right food is tedious and they give up easily. If you really want good affordable food and a healthy lifestyle, Jamie Oliver's Recipease is the way to go!

Easy Recipes for Lazy Students

Moving away to university is undoubtedly a big step for many young people - perhaps the biggest difference being that mum won't cook for them any more! This invariably means that a lot of new students will live off of take-away foods, pizza, and toasted cheese sandwiches for breakfast everyday. I know, because I was exactly the same. Luckily, I lived in a share house with someone who could actually cook, so even if I ate badly throughout the week there was always the delicious house Sunday Roast to look forward to!

But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're a student now - or going to be in the next few years - then now really is the time to learn how to cook some really basic, healthy meals for yourself. As a male myself, a lot of us actually grew up with the impression that cooking was for girls. My school didn't even teach home-economics classes, because it was a boys only school and clearly boy don't need to cook - do they? But I'll tell you something now lads - the girls absolutely love a man who can cook! You think being the head of the basketball team makes girls like you? Not half as much as if you could cook!

You're not going to be the next Jamie Oliver overnight, but there are some ever so basic meals that anyone should be able to throw together, so I'd like to teach you some today.

First off, the quiche...

Quiches (sometimes known as a Flan) are basically just fluffy egg pies with some random ingredients thrown in for flavour.

Ingredients:

- Some puff pastry or ready-rolled shortcrust pastry for the pie, 375g should do it

- 2 eggs

- 150ml milk

- 4 tablespoons of single or whipping cream, though extra milk will work at a pinch

- 100g of grated cheddar cheese

- Some kind of filling, I suggest 100g ham and 100g mushrooms for your first try!

- A pie baking tin

Instructions:

1. Leave the pastry out at room temperature for about 20 minutes so it'll be easier to roll into the tin. When you've done that, pre-heat your oven to 200?C, or gas mark 6.

2. Use this time to chop up your filling vegetables and meat. Not too small that you won't be able to taste it, but not so big either. It's up to you, so feel free to go all chunky with them if you want.

3. You should be ready to line the pie tin with your pastry now. Use a knife to cut away any overhanging bits, then you'll need to spread a sheet of cooking foil over it and bake it a little first. Why? Well, right now it's a little bit gooey, so we need to toughen it up a little before we put the egg mix in. Put it in the oven for 10 minutes and that should be enough.

4. While that's going on, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cream. If you've never cracked an egg in one hand before, now would be a good time to learn. Hold the egg like your hand is a claw, with your thumb and little finger clasping one half of the egg, and your middle 3 fingers clasping the top half. Tap the egg lightly against the edge of a bowl, then use your "claws" to pry apart the egg and spill the contents out, all in one smooth motion. I'm sure you'll mess it up the first time, so try again! Add a little salt and pepper too.

5. Final preparation step is top get the tin out of the oven, throw your filing meat and mushrooms in it, along with half of the cheese, then pour in the whisked egg mix. Finish the whole thing off with the rest of the cheese sprinkled on top, then bake for 30 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch.

Best served with a simple salad - speaking of which...

Easy Salad Dressing:

I used to really hate salads, because they were always served plain our house. Seriously, without anything on it, just the leaves. Which is a shame, because a tasty and healthy salad dressing is so easy to make and makes salad just so delicious. When I discovered this recipe, I ate salad everyday for two months, I kid you not. I was making up for lost tastiness.

Also, don't think a salad has to be sunny lettuce. There are a lot of other green leaves that are good for you and a lot tastier to boot. You can even grow almost all salad leaves in a one foot square area of your garden, or balcony - but that's another article entirely. For now, get some nice "rocket" and assorted "baby leaves" for your salad, and then on to a nice dressing. Find a small glass jar to mix it up in, and if you make too much you can always use it again tomorrow so don't worry too much about that.

Ingredients:

- Virgin Olive Oil

- Whole grain mustard

- Lemon juice

- White wine vinegar

- Some minced garlic, or powder

- A little sugar, salt, and pepper

Fill about a tenth of the jar with a mixture of white wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a dollop of mustard. Fill a further third of the jar with olive oil, then add a teaspoon of garlic, and sugar. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Shake the jar vigorously, and serve. Don't drown the salad in dressing, though. Personally, I like to mix in some sliced black olives too, but they aren't to everyone's taste so do ask first if you're having guests.

That's it for today, and should at least have you sorted for one decent meal a week. Check out this site when you're ready to tackle another easy recipe.

Italian Easy: Recipes from the London River Cafe

“Easy food doesn’t have to mean unsophisticated food.”

Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers, founders of London’s renowned River Cafe, are famous for their innovative approach to traditional Italian fare. In Italian Easy, their fifth cookbook, they reinvent the Italian kitchen for today’s busy home cook, refuting the notion that elegant food requires hours of preparation. These are visually spectacular, remarkably simple recipes for those who love good food but have little time to prepare it.

Displaying the imagination and panache that are Rose and Ruth’s hallmarks, the nearly 200 recipes in Italian Easy are streamlined for efficiency in the kitchen without compromising either quality or taste. Relying on a well-stocked pantry, just a handful of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and even fewer steps, these sublime recipes summon both familiar and surprising Italian flavors. Bruschetta with tender asparagus and shaved Parmesan, tagliatelle with ripe figs and spicy chiles, slow-roasted chicken with fresh nutmeg and prosciutto, and the restaurant’s popular Chocolate Nemesis cake are all as enticing as they are effortless.

This is not Italian food that’s impossible to pronounce or prepare. At once straightforward and sexy, this is Italian Easy—the cookbook that makes it possible for busy people to eat well every night of the week.
