I have a mixed opinion. I've read several of his earlier cookbooks and didn't care for them very much--the recipes just weren't very good.

On the other hand, I am a big fan of his book "Jamie's Food Revolution". It's an ideal beginner cookbook in my opinion. I cannot recommend it enough (for beginners). It has step-by-step color photos of every recipe. All of the recipes are from scratch, yet they are simple, well explained, and call for only basic ingredients that you should have little trouble finding anywhere. It covers basic techniques and kitchen supplies. Perfect all-around cookbook for beginners!

I haven't read any of his later cookbooks or seen his current TV programs so I can't comment on that (though I hear he has developed a thing for olive oil?). I like the fact that he is interested in restoring a more wholesome public school diet.

>>5585942
Dat Deville though

>>5585961
>>5585971
He uses olive oil a lot in his earlier tv shows (still recent though) but in his latest (?) book, SAve with Jamie (Student!), he uses about 5-6 different oils. Olive oil is his most used in it, but thats because he's an advocate of healthy eating, and damn olice oil is good? At least I thought

I am a true beginner so I will have a look at that book thanks

Jamies '15 minute meals' really pisses me off. Sure its 15 mintues if you really really rush it, but in reality the average home chef doesnt cook like that. And also, that 15 minutes doesnt include a lot of preperation time which clearly is part of the cooking. Additionally his desperate desire to present the food 'rustically' just turns in to chucking it on a board and it all looking like shit.

And then the use of a gallon of oil per dish also pisses me off

>>5585942
>liking Jamie oliveoil

>>5586029
It's 15 minutes if you spend 1 hour preparing the shit

>>5585942
I don't hate him, I just don't care about him or his "celebrity" opinions. His taste isn't better than mine, and I trust myself more than some made up celebrity.

Don't mix up hate with not giving a shit about so called "celebrites.

>>5585942
i've met this cunt when he did jamie olivers great britain. my dad was on telly with him. really tempted to call him bernard matthews

>>5587209

Good morning, defeated by marketing guy

i don't. i'm not necessarily the kind of person he's supposed to appeal to but i still think he's an excellent tv chef. the 30/15 minute meals are brilliantly devised - if you take issue with the fact that it's fairly hard to get them done in the stated time, you are autistic, as the whole point is to show how an organised cook who is fluent in the use of their kitchen and timesaving methods of cooking can get things done very quickly whilst still using fresh, from scratch ingredients.

all the bitching about his use of olive oil is just memetastic shitposting. it's not like his way of cooking things in it and finishing things with it is anything new. take issue with the whole fucking mediterranean.

>>5585942
I hate him because everyone who likes him is a pretentious brick

My gf's mom gave us like 6 of his books. I've tried maybe 5-6 of his recipes and all but one turned out good.

I've made this one quite a few times. It takes a while to prepare, but is worth it. I eat the leftovers in tortillas:

add a little bit of olive oil

>>5585942
Used to like watching his show when I was younger, not neccessarily for recipes, but for techniques and ideas. Didn't watch anything by him for awhile, but then he partnered with Sobeys(chain grocery store) for that "food revolution" thing. Oh yeah Jamie, a shelf by the meat department that sells $30 sets of sundae glasses and cutting boards. Changing lives for sure. Congrats on the cash grab I guess, people will probably buy that junk.

>>5585942

>Alright, today we are making pizza, no mucking about right , cheap ,delicious ,but dead ,dead simple yeah... Take some garlic , i won't even bother peeling the garlic just drizzle some olive ohl on there , take the tomatas don't bother washing them just drown them in this olive ohl and add a whole head of garlic we prepared earlier , now take some flour and add olive ohl... and 15 minutes later a delicious pizza with fresh tomato sauce and a little drizzle of olive ohl on top , DELICIOUS!

>>5587439

>now we're going to be making some nice choriSo and some nice steamed VEG!!! It might look intimidating at first but i assure you it's not , my kids love VEG and choriSSSSo... Take the carrot and don't peel it just roll it around your cutting board and wack it against the side of the closest kitchen appliance... Now take the chorissso and wiggle dump it in a pan and a little olive ohl , now take some lemons and limes and roll it on your board and squeeze it on the board you just cut raw meat on , put your veg on the board and douse it with olive ohl and add some baby basil and coriander to make it look like i know what i'm doing , serve it with microwaved sweet potato olive ohl mash , DELICIOUS!

Because he took away turkey twizzlers!!!!

>>5585942
He's the embodiment of the typical effeminate brit male. I pity more than hate him.

He taught me that ice cream isn't ice cream until you put a little olive oil on it.

>>5587457
>Take the carrot and don't peel it just roll it around your cutting board and wack it against the side of the closest kitchen appliance

>>5585942
I do not hate him. He knows how to cook, and has taken it as his mission to encourage people who don't even know what good food is to eat better. Not a bad use of one's celebrity.

I can't stand his American TV show, however. That kind of weepy Richard Simmons/Biggest Loser shit disgusts me. I agree it's sad if you don't know better than to eat yourself to death like a fucking goldfish, but I don't find watching people cry about it very entertaining.

>>5585942
Literally who?

>>5587439
>>5587457
my sides

>>5587427
i burst the fuck out laughing when he put the olive oil in the clams

>>5587439
>>5587457
this pretty much summs it up. and the olive oil pizza clip is hillarious. however i still like some of his recipes. the 15 minute meals are pretty nice, granted, it takes more than that, but whatever i made was decent enough.
what i can't stand are those shows where he chooses a kid to be a chef at his restaurant or something, and the one where he goes to schools to "change the cooking system". he comes across like a real prick in them.

>>5587427
Jesus fuck man I'm too high for this shit

>>5587427
>a drizzle of olive oil, around your eggs, around everything actually

Been a really long time since i watched anything related to him. I just remember one episode of i think it was the naked chef where he had one of his buddies who was an elvis impersonator over. So he made "real, authentic, elvis impersonator approved american" hamburgers. Elvis guy insisted that a real burger has nothing but ketchup on it. No onions, no cheese, no pickles, no mustard, just loads and loads of ketchup. Fucking disgusting.
Or when he made "real, authentic, rustic, italian" pizza with more olive oil and green shit like spinach on it than sauce or cheese.
I hate it when celebrity chefs try to sell you their shitty creations as authentic.

>>5585942
I don't hate Jamie Oliver. He's a little annoying, but he has the right idea about food, most of the time. At least he's actually passionate about good food, and not just slinging out garbage like a lot of other tv "chefs".

>>5585942
He really looks like a homosexual, look at him sashaying against a wall, he's a fucking cakeboy.

>>5585942
I don't hate him at all.

I think a group of people here (murrka) were offended by his "unveiling" episodes of the show about the situation with our school's foods. I agreed with him though. That school food is more abusive than a rapist step father.

I came here for Jamie Oliveoil jokes.

>>5589581
What's a jamie oliver and why would I waste a minute of my life to spend time to make jokes about someone that's useless and I don't care about nor have heard of.

Just sayin'.

>>5589598
>Just sayin'.
Wow. That was a lame thing to say 20 years ago, IIRC.

>>5587439
>>5587457
i read all that in his voice.

goddammit.

Because Marco Pierre hates him and so must I.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEbYfuF6IiM

How much disgusting of a child would jamie and rachel ray create? Would it come out covered in evoo?

>>5589717
It'd just turn out to be a rat.

Then Jamie would get pissed and take her to divorce court because he though she cheated on him.

Dude writes cookbooks but doesn't read?

>Olive oil is his most used in it, but thats because he's an advocate of healthy eating

Olive oil is the healthier choice when you're replacing other fats with it, but when you drizzle a pint of olive oil on every dish it stops being a healthy choice

My opinion is neutral.

I've looked up some of his recipes before but I don't recall the meal/s.

I normally follow recipes based on whatever ingredients are closest to their expiry date (or whatever term is relevant to fresh produce). The author of the recipe is not particularly relevant.

Pic is a recent snack I made with oats and coconut oil, don't have any actual meal phtots on this device.

>>5587255
this.
He has a hard-on for Italian cooking. And Italians cook everything in extravirgin olive oil.
EVERYTHING.

>>5585942
>pukka innit bruv
>rearl fresh mate, rearl rustic innit mate
>just slap it on
>a good glob of me old mate olive oil

Also he cashed in on every fucking thing he could and he appeases every single shit home cook, women especially.

He comes off as a little fruity. Like he 's pretty young, but acts like a 60 year old guy trying to act hip.

Fucking hell.

>>5585942
because my mum divorced me dad after being on take home chef.

>>5585942
Did Gordon Ramsay and Jeremy Renner fuck and have a kid? That's all I see when I look at him.

Mark Bittman uses more EVOO you idiots

>>5585942
He kind of looks like a retarded person.

>>5593572

>he fucking mixes it into the food

are you kidding me

is /ck/ really this pleb to be squeamish about putting oil in food

fuck off you cunt

Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo taught him everything he knows. Check them out, ignore this hack.

"I know this is supposed to be a vanilla pudding, but just to give it some extra personality we're going to add some delicious chicken stock and coriander to it" fuck this crap.

I don't hate him but I hate his friends.

>DJ BBQ
>That hideous fat white girl Kerry

>>5593550
Olive Oil is way healthy. If you don't use a fuckload of it.

I'm currently halfway through making his BBQ Ribs. The dry rub seems ok but the barbecue sauce could be better.

>>5594472

>"I know this is supposed to be a vanilla pudding, but just to give it some extra personality we're going to add some delicious chicken stock and coriander to it"

what a lame way to try and make him look bad

>>5585942
I don't hate him but I'm not sure how he has made it as a celebrity chef. He's not a great chef and he's annoying.

>>5585942
I like him a lot. Two of the best dishes I have ever made are his recipes. I made his cypriot chicken one time, as well as his steak and guinness pie. I trust his recipes. I know they'll be good.

The real question should be, why do you love Ainsley Harriot?

>>5595187
Because he's fucking great.

>>5587438
Changing lives, what? Some cunt celebrity changed your life, that's pretty sad.

You might as well go stand in line at starbucks and live your life through hollywood.

Personally I don't have a need to have my life changed by some celebrity, not that my life is great or anything, but I have no need for celebrity made up bullshit around me.

>>5595187
I don't know who that woman is, but she totally wants his BBC. She probably got it too, and Ainsley was probably dancing like this the entire time.

>>5595204
i like how he always has fun, and genuinely seems to have a passion for the craft

>>5595209
stop posting

>>5593223
I guess this I true because I'm Italian and I didn't know that cooking things in extra virgin WASN'T the norm until I read your post

>>5594476
But DJ BBQ is awesome.

As someone who's pretty new to cooking I don't hate him I like his videos quite a lot, made some roast potatoes following his recipe the other day and they came out great. If I'm following a JO recipe I just cut out most of the unnecessary olive oil.

He's a bit annoying though no doubt about it.

>>5587574
i shed a tear every time i am reminded of this

>>5587427
fucking lost it at the clams

>>5585942
>mum starts watching 15 min meals in the morning
every fucking recipe includes him saying "whazz it up" in the blender ,saying chicken is gnarly and speaking of chicken he without tells us because it is 15 min meals he will hammer it out flat between 2 sheets of grease proof paper every fucking time without fail.
even his hand movements and hunchback posture is infuriating.
his mockney fake bullshit accent.
his chubby baby face.

Fuck Jamie Oliver.

I have mixed feelings towards the guy. I mean sometimes he seems genuine and cool, other times he comes cross as a huge sellout douche.

He did inspire me to use more veg when I cook so there's that.

Also, Woolworths partnership is a thing.

>>5598523
This, fucking this right here. Everything he does just infuriates me.

>>5585942

Because most of /ck/ are Britons and Jaimie came to their schools, took away their fish and chips, and gave them a green salad bar and restaurant quality healthy tasty food.

>>5598998
why can't all women have bodies like this

goddammit woman you had ONE JOB

>>5599043
because you don't look like the male counterpart of that

>>5599051

That's true, I have much larger muscles because I am a man.

Stop assuming everyone is an unhealthy out of shape ugly NEET like you. Some of us take care of ourselves and expect the same in a partner.

>>5598998
I think most of /ck/ might be too old to have had their school dinners affected by JO

I'd have loved to have had actual food in school lunch, personally

>>5599043
if everyones body were like that it'd no longer be as desirable. Not saying I don't wish for the same however.

>>5599053
Can't you just choose to date someone with the body you want then?

>>5599064

I do, I just hate to turn down a chick with a good personality because I am not physically attracted to her. It hasn't happened many times because truly fat people don't have a good personality, but there are borderline cases where the girl is pretty cool and has a great face but you know it's going to be a huge turnoff when she takes off her shirt. so there we are.

>>5599051
I actually do. twink master race

>>5599067
I know what you mean, it sucks that some of the most attractive women I know personality wise just aren't physically attractive. I can overlook certain it to an extent, but yeah there's only so far a personality can cover for physical inadequacy.

Above a certain level of attractiveness any personality can become attractive enough too IMO.

>>5599071
I don't care much how people look, but a fat person's lifestyle is incompatible with my own, so neither of us would have a good time.

I don't hate him, but I can't stand that stupid affected cockney accent.

>'me old mates salt and pepper'
>'chuck them into the pot roight'
>'d'you know wot I mean'
>'let's 'ave a little taste yeh'

At least he stopped saying 'pukkah'.

>>5599060
I enjoyed when my school served pumpernickel because I could watch all the kids being disappointed it wasn't chocolate.

>>5585942
he isn't pretentious enough, i once saw him admit that he used premade pastry sheets because it's too hard and time consuming to make pastry, what a pleb!

>>5599043

I have a better body than that but a horrible face

any guy is going to be more attracted to a chubby chick with an attractive face

>exercise 20 hours a week
>still ugly

there is no god

>>5600895

IKTF

People say they just want a woman who takes care of themselves, but they want a woman who takes care of themselves who also has a pretty face. Nothing matters more. And I understand why that's the case, but it's a shame to be a very ugly girl who puts a great deal of effort into maintaining her body, only to still be considered ugly.

>>5598998
thank you hungry skeleton

>>5598998
>>5599043

No tits, No ass, No hips or thighs.

That's not fit that's Auschwitz mode. A pretty face can't hide the fact that her body looks like a HIV positive rent-boy.

>>5600923
>>5601236

fucking this

I'm not a chubby chaser but she's just scrawny, she doesn't have a good figure or anything

it's like when I hear someone irl say that a girl is "in shape" just because she isn't fat, even if she's essentially never exercised a day in her life

>>5599043

because women come in different shapes and sizes you fucking retard

no i'm not defending obesity, so don't even start

>>5599067

you watch too much porn and/or have unrealistic expectations about sexuality and the human body, dude...

I hate him because he lacks FREEDOM.

Because he sells fake "italian" EV olive oil

>>5601693

citation needed

>>5601696
Notice how the product description says "directly from [no 'italian'] olives" instead of a PDO certification? That oil is imported to Italy, perhaps coloured, bottled, then exported to wherever you buy it. You're not going to get the real thing for £5

>>5601711
Well yes you can, but not that big of a bottle.

>>5601723
The one pictured is at least 500ml

>>5601693

they don't have this in america, no wonder britbongs are suspicious of him. I guess he's kind of like rachel ray but for britain?

>>5587427
Eh, at least he's not putting chili in everything like most people here.

>>5602069

ITT: /ck/ hates olive oil for some reason.

Is this an American thing?

>>5602694
No it is not an america thing.

The thirteen year olds on this board prefer thier moms use real butter because they dont have to worry about cvd yet.

Those of us with a refined grown up palate are perfectly happy with all the healthy oils out there.

Im a huge fan of safflower, but i finish a lot of my italian dishes with some kirklands signature organic evoo.

>>5602702
> but i finish a lot of my italian dishes with some kirklands signature organic evoo.
i use that oil. but for finishing....

>>5602716
It was rated higher than a lot of brands recently in a taste test. I think it came in second behind something that cost about 7 times as much. It blew the other common grocery chain glass bottles out of the water.

120 posts and this is the only mention of Gennaro. I'm disappointed /ck/. I really am. Gennaro was the best part of Jamie's ICA episode.
