I swear, all those "30 minute meals" (or even worse, 20 minute meals) are the equivalent of running a marathon. So much rushing, lol! That being said, I love Jamie's recipes and most of them turn out really well (but best to ignore the clock)!
Agree. I've cooked from this book, but never been able to deliver the full meal in 30 minutes... well, not without aggravating my hypertension that is. He says it can be done if you use every kitchen gadget you own (blender, processor, a dozen pots and pans), but then you have to factor in the 3 hours it takes to do the dishes after. Great food though.
Yeah, I already have a vegetable peeler. Now I need a speed peeler? At the start of 15 Minute Meals he's like "I'm not gonna lie, if you don't have this equiptment you're not going to make quick meals."
My friend loves his books but she doesn't own a food processor. She was like "@*&#*!&#$^# YOU JAMIE!!"
I love this! What a hugely entertaining way to blog :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks so much *blush blush* :P

ReplyDeleteThey're still quick, even if you don't do it within 30 minutes. And they were definitely DELICIOUS!
