Jamie Oliver’s Cookbook: Food Revolution

Last week I was in the bookstore and ended up spending most of my time in the

cookbook section. Several cookbooks caught my eye, but I ended up purchasing

one of Jamie Oliver’s Cookbooks. Jamie’s Food Revolution. I’ve heard

of the whole food revolution,but never took the plunge to fully explore what it was

all about.

What’s behind it all started years ago during the Second World War when

the British government

created the “Ministry of Food” and hired knowledgeable individuals to go across

the land and teach people how to feed themselves well with the little food rations they had.

They educated the people about food and proper nutrition so they’d be healthy and fighting fit.

Americans were on board too and were encouraged to plant victory gardens.

 

Fast forward to today and Jamie realized there is a new war going on. The battle for good

health and eating habits.  With the encouragement of a friend he began the Pass It On movement.

Basically, it is a pledge to learn at least one recipe from each chapter of this book

and pass on the knowledge on how to cook those recipes to at least 2-4 friends.

Jamie wants to encourage people to take the pledge regardless if you are a complete

 beginner or a good

cook who likes simplicity. He wants this to be the catalyst for empowering

millions to make proper

home-cooked, affordable meals from scratch again.

 

 

To do that you’ll need some simple

 kitchen equipment, practice

and a cupboard full of some good basic ingredients.

It’s the basic ingredients along with herbs and spices 

that take a simple piece of cod, chicken or beef and make it taste like it’s from  

Spain, Italy, Morocco or China.

I’ll be sharing a recipe from each chapter over the next few months

along with the basic spices you’ll need to make it happen.

Are you interested in taking the Pledge?

Grab his book and Pass It On.
