Just as an aside - not seen the 15 minute meals - if you get prawn cracker discs (uncooked) from a Chinese supermarket ir such, you can do them in the micro - no deep frying! Makes them low fat, but they do taste slightly more 'prawny'

Are these lower calorie than the 30 minute meals - I loved them.

This sounds great!! Do you know how many cals the cracker discs are? Xx

I have really enjoyed watching this series. Nearly all the recipes can be tweaked to make them SW friendly - he does tend to be a little bit heavy-handed with the oil, but the meals are for four people. What I love is the way that every meal he makes in this series has loads of vegetables or salad, with really interesting combinations - lots and lots of superfree!

yes lower calories , and hes worked out the calories too, he uses natural yogurt, and less cheese ect

Meals are for four people If I divided it up into four I would still be hungry.

I love watching it and am so glad they have moved it to 5.30pm instead of having it on at 5pm.I'm usually getting dinner ready at 5pm and as I don't yet have a TV in the kitchen the time works great for me.

I have tweaked and tried a few. But agreed portion are small, particularly the meat quantity. I cook for the whole family - hubby, 18yr son, 16yr daughter, and me. The last one I cooked I doubled the meat and the rice!

I think he has some really good recipe ideas but he annoys me so much. The way he talks when he is cooking really gets to me.

His food and his principles, he works so hard at the healthy eating thing, he has helped so many youngsters find a worthwhile career Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Cornwall, Watergate Bay, Cornwall are fantastic and I admire all that he has done. I just can not watch or listen to him............now reading his recipes that is a different matter.

Curled up in my chair with a blanket over me watching it again now.

Bought my Mam the book as part of her christmas prezzies as she loved the tv show!

I have to agree with you there, my boyfriend loves him but he winds me up, the other night he was talking and said ''give it a bit of a flippy whip'' or something along those lines.... might have been shakey wake and it just really wound me up

Yep, I like to see how many times he gets a shot of Uncle Ben's rice in :P
