His new book promises '15 Minute Meals’, but can a competent cook really rustle them up that fast?
My kitchen is full of smoke. I’m tossing a sizzling wok of vegetables with my
left hand and searing a sirloin steak with my right. Mushrooms are browning
in another pan, and a nest of egg noodles is congealing in a pot of bubbling
salt water. I’m attempting a recipe from Jamie Oliver’s new book, Jamie’s 15
Minute Meals, and rather than the “delicious, nutritious, super-fast food”
that’s promised, I’m feeling flustered, hungry and stressed out.
Oliver’s latest culinary offering, the sequel to his 30 Minute Meals book and
Channel 4 series, has been in the shops for just five days and is ranked
third on Amazon’s food and drink bestseller list. The much-anticipated
volume, priced at £26 (but already down to half price online), guarantees
fast, fresh meals for a family of four in a quarter of an hour.
