The sauce reheats well, so it's fine to make in advance. This is a great idea for using up a mishmash of different herbs. It worked well with hothouse cherry tomatoes, but would likely taste even better with fresh summer tomatoes.
From the garden Jamie picks some incredible lime green and purple cauliflowers and uses them to make curried fritters with a brilliantly simple batter. Cauliflower and broccoli are used for a simple, hearty cannelloni and Jamie cooks ham and spring greens with mustard and celery leaves. I used green asparagus , and shortened the simmer time to about five minutes - just perfect for plump green spears.
Potato and chorizo omelette with a kinda parsley salad
I would have left it longer in the oven if I hadn't been starving hungry. The tomatoes threw off a lot of liquid but that was fine with the mashed potatoes I served it with . Purple, white and gold carrots, pink and white striped beetroots.
This salad has such a great flavor and is satisfying as dinner. It has so many layers of flavor and texture, I would have been very happy to be served it in a restaurant. I left off the sour cream, it really didn't need it. I could only fit 1.5kg of tomatoes in my pan but it still worked fine.

Really love all the fresh herbs too. I put the salsa with fresh cooked salmon...to die for. A brilliant, quick, tasty dish for those warm summer nights. My changes; I used lime instead of lemon, and omitted the greens and sour cream. I also prepared the carrots and dressing up to the oven step the night before.
I had to add an extra 60g of flour to the dough as it was very sloppy without the addition. I used Mr Oliver's pizza dough for the calzones and baked 16 minutes at 450 degrees. (The instructions say to put the oven on at full power but don't give a temperature). I changed the filling to suit what I had on hand and they turned out well. It's important to have some flour on the bottoms of the calzone before baking so they don't stick.
Special 3 (Christmas Special) Smoked Salmon and Watercress Salad
The pastry is fantastic and I will be using it for lots of savoury tarts and pies in the future. I would recommend adding the sun-dried tomatoes. An easy recipe to convert to vegetarian as well. You can definitely make this salad your own and still have great results. It's a salad full of rich flavors, and makes for a substantial side dish or light meal; you just need to plan for enough time to cook the carrots .
Jamie has a passion for pizza and he’s learnt interesting variations from his travels in Italy where many recipes are passed down through generations. Jamie forages in the garden to find interesting veg to top his pizza. This show really isn’t about cheese and tomato. After making basic dough the variations can be explored.
Really very delicious and simple lamb tartare
Finally, while Gennaro prepares some seasonal roast chestnuts in his own style, Jamie rounds off the day with his twist on the classic mince pie. My favorite way to cook lamb - fall off the bone tender. I also quarter an onion and slice a lemon and put on top and bottom for roasting. I'm not a fan of mint, so I leave it and vinegar out of gravy. Save some of your potato water and mix with flour to make a slurry to thicken - finish with a pat of butter off heat.
Despite the clear lack of editing, this is a great dish. I don't feel I can accurately rate this recipe, as I made a few changes. I didn't have Lancashire cheese, so substituted goat cheese because I had it on hand and figured the flavor would be a good fit. More significantly, I was out of eggs, so left them out completely and added some extra whole milk to the potato/cheese/cream mix to make it a little more spreadable.
You can improvise with any number of greens, and I enjoy adding pumpkin seeds. This is a great recipe, I suspect even if you've never used your crank pasta machine you'll manage to make a delicious meal. I made a 4 egg / 400 g amount of pasta and it was almost twice as much as three people could eat. I used all semolina for the dough, and then switched to AP flour for dusting. I also used kale along with some broccoli in place of the purple sprouting broccoli called for in the recipe.
Jamie makes a traditional pizza and a calzone and Jamie’s traditional wood oven is a great location for a magnificent quattro gusti pizza that is mouth-watering. This hardly counts as a recipe, it's so basic, but it is a great way to eat asparagus. Fantastic breakfast, although I agree with Jamie that you could eat it at any time. I used one bunch of asparagus and some thin slices of pancetta. If you need to use olive oil only use a tiny dash as the fat in the pancetta will be rendered off anyway.
If you've never made pasta before and want a bit of a peptalk, I suggest searching youtube for the 'eggs' episode of the "Jamie at Home" show. I agree with the other reviews - this is delicious. It's also very easy to make, and involved little clean up. The roasting time is fairly long, however; mine was in the oven for just over an hour.
The potatoes/celeriac are to be cut into pieces just under 1 inch, not the measurement given in the book. Also, no added butter goes into the sauce, despite its confusing placement at the top of the recipe. One more thing is the parmesan cheese. According to the episode on tv, we're to add half to the sauce, then sprinkle the other half on top . The book instructs you to add half of it, then the other half, then half again. Also, I believe the FRESH sage is key to its subtle aroma.
I just used the bacon fat, which gave the zucchini great flavor. I used chicken thigh fillets, didn't bother peeling the tomatoes and par-boiled the potatoes. Next time I would add some red capsicum and maybe some cauliflower. This came together well even though I used boneless skinless chicken thigh meat. The tomatoes are especially delicious, although unfortunately my children don't like cooked tomatoes, so weren't big fans, although they ate the chicken and potatoes. Used only 8 thighs and had plenty leftover - after serving 3 adults .
