What do you think of Jamie Oliver and the recipes he makes ?
-
Solid recipes that tend toward being simple and easy to make, but still taste great. I have several of his books in my cookbook collection. With that said, I don't reach for them nearly as much as some others. For reference cooking is a full on hobby for me. I have multiple bookshelves full of cookbooks.
His "Kinda Spaghetti Bolognese" is a family favorite and I make it several times a year.
As to what I think of Jamie himself? Honestly, I don't know anything about him, other than he's British. Entertainment celebrities is not a subject that holds any interest for me.
In the pantheon of cooks, whose recipes I've made:
He's a LOT better than Rachael Ray (but who isn't?).
But not quite as good as a Julia Child, Ina Garten, Charlie Trotter (RIP), or Jonathan Best.
-
His black bean soup recipe is delicious
-
He made a lot of cheap cuts popular, like trotters, pork shanks, oxtail, shin of beef or brisket
and they are now really expensive, and I hate that he did that. But his recipes are ok, simple
and mostly tasty. -
Let's just say that the celebrity chefs in the UK, and probably all around the world, are more due to their personality and quirks than cooking prowess.
Uncle Roger making a career out of making fun of Jamie oliver videos is not a coincidence lol, same goes for Gordon ramsay to a lesser extent. Watching ramsay infamous grilled cheese video and trying to gaslight the viewer should make everyone reconsider their other work.

I find the way he presents himself to be fairly grating, but his recipes can be good. His corner shop curry method is now my preferred way of making curry at home.

Me too nephew, me too

Agreed. I've tried Ramsay and Oliver's recipes and they always end up just a bit bland. Their technique is great and all and is a valuable learning resource for technique and some general principles, but the flavour is not all there.
-
Like 15 years ago I was big on a meatball and sauce recipe from him. Loved it, but stopped eating it years ago and can’t find it again.
-
He can go fuck himself with a lot soldering iron after that stunt he pulled with the chick.
"He wa just trying to raise awareness !!" Well he had a chance to make a difference in a single life and chose to murder it live on fucking tv. Fuck him.

I haven't heard about this, got a link or some search terms for me?
-

-
the thick tongued removed likes to drown things in olive oil
-
His pukka pies sell for 1.50 each and are delicious

Pretty much sums up my opinion.
