I'm not sure why she was criticised so much by the food writers. Maybe because they were comparing her with serious cookery programs and books. I think it appealed to a lot of young women who loved the show and food that was about taste, but also with a little concern for their diet...i think the target audience was probably quite young and the crtics mostly men past middle-age!

I also love baked eggs and eggs with vegetables for breakfast. At the moment I'm going through a Mexican phase and making lots of huevos rancheros but I'm definitely going to try this recipe for a change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-67479219268365815422011-07-27T08:46:35.166-07:002011-07-27T08:46:35.166-07:00OMG I love that book!... even though many didn'...OMG I love that book!... even though many didn't I actually love the simplistic styling and cute photo's...

A neighbour gave me some beautiful rainbow chard not long after I bought the book so I was very excited to try it out - simple but delicious.<br /><br />Like you I have lots of cookbooks I love as books but rarely cook from. I'm a big fan of Apples For Jam too as you know and I have actually cooked quite a lot of things out of it from the very simple soups at the beginning to the chicken escalopes with parsley and capers, baked ham and cheese bread pudding to the tiny cakes with pink icing, vanilla cake and honey cake. All recommended!<br /><br />This year has been all about Jamie. I just love his new book '30 Minute Meals'. It really has revolutionised the way I cook - I would never have believed that you could produce multiple course in just 30 mins but you really can (well maybe 40 mins!). I've cooked 15 recipes so far and our favourites include Chicken Skewers with Amazing Satay Sauce, Fiery Noodle Salad and Fruit and Mint Sugar & Roast Beef, Little Carrots, Crunchy Potatoes and Super-Quick Gravy. The Portuguese Tarts are fabulous too!Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853693147709202804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-8623573649621319802011-07-16T07:59:39.586-07:002011-07-16T07:59:39.586-07:00I love all those cookery books you mentioned and a...I love all those cookery books you mentioned and also own most of them to!
