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.

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!

 

[rach1987]

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

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.

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

 

[bunnylovesalan]

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

I love it, the mushroom soup is really good and the salsa and chicken with the rice and beans

I do enjoy this show - and as mentioned, that he has worked with a nutritionist to get the calories down on his menus. Very good!!!

My husband and I are treating it like a cooking class. Many of them can be made very low syn, or even free. I add extra veg to increase the superfree part.

Example: Gorgeous Greek Chicken with Herby Vegetable Couscous & Tzatziki - Add roasted veg. I did a tray of peppers, white onions and courgette. Pretty big pieces, and some oregano, and sprayed w fry-light. Roasted up pretty quick!

The recipe is on his site, but I don't think minimins will allow me to link to it!

I like watching his show the meatballs and burger recipes right up my street yumm

I got the book for Christmas but I don't have all that equipment.and don't know what some of it is. Where, for example, do you get a hob to oven frying pan ?

It's just a frying pan which can be used in the oven and on the hob... we have one made out of cast iron or something, we use it for omelettes and got it from aldi, its great!
