In the Kitchen: Jamie's Food Revolution

I stopped in at the grocery over the weekend and somehow ended up in the cookbook section.  I normally stay away from these things since I have so many collecting dust in a cupboard and usually rely on recipes from the "Google" cookbook (i.e. Google the recipe and see what comes up).  But I ended up leaving with one of the books (on sale!).  Here's what I came home with:

 

Our goal: start cooking!  We vowed that once we were in our new house, we would start cooking more.  But we've been eating out a lot more than when we were in the condo and our wallets (and waistlines) are starting to suffer.

The recipes look fairly simple: they don't seem to require a lot of ingredients and they don't seem to take a lot of time to make.  Plus, I'm a baker, not a chef.  I live for precise measurements and little prep work (I let the oven do its thing).  I prefer straightforward recipes that are simple, delicious and affordable and that's what the book's cover claims to contain within its pages.  I also know that we can't eat out (or live on "student" diets) forever.  It's time to put on our aprons and get domestic!

{ PS: I realize that I could also just Google the recipes from his website, but this book fits so nicely in my Elisa bag, so I just had to have it. }
