hello
I really want to start learning how to cook.
I have been extremely spoilt and have never had to make anything.
i love your show, your way of cooking
what would be a very good beginner book of yours to start with?

Welcome Shibs, I would say that Jamies Ministry of Food would definately be the best book to start with.
Good luck in the kitchen.

I'd say start with Jamie's Food Revolution. It's super easy recipes geared towards beginners.

I think you'll find that Jamies ministry of food and food revolution are the same it just depends which country you live in.

Hi there. If I cook something ive never cooked before i usually go the ministry of food 1st. however, starting with an Italian cookbook would be good as italian food is hard to get wrong as the ingredients are simple and you learn about flavour combinations.
