I've never really been a fan of Sandra Lee mostly because I'm against all the chemicals in most pre-packaged foods. There is a big difference between finding a good quality pre-made chicken stock to use in your pilaf made with brown basmati, fresh herbs and pine nuts the Sandra Lee version which would be to buy pilaf in a box and then "juszh it up" with canned pineapple and pare it along curry made with canned chicken. I would never say that you should shoulld buy a single pre-packaged item ever but I am against the school of cooking which goes "open 6 boxes, 3 cans add water and bake. That's just too much goop in your food.
Oh the other hand my sister gave me a Jamie Oliver cook book a couple months ago and I LOVE it! I have already made half the recipes. Last edited by jfain; 10-19-2008 at 05:20 PM. Reason: * |

I've got the Jamie book with the baby blue front cover and the pink back one. I liked it but honestly, I've only made two things out of it- the banoffee tartlets and the individual tomato bread loaves baked in small 5 oz. tomato paste cans. Both were great...

I think you have the same one as me. I have both of those recipes in my book. I haven't made either since I would have to convert them to gluten free. I have made the grape and tarragon salad the Moorish apple salad, pan seared sole with polenta and capers, venison with blueberries and broccoli and I know I've done more of them than that but it's all I can seem to remember for the moment. Now that winter is coming I'll be diving into the chapter on braising. I can't wait!
