A Little Like Death
June 6, 2008
I am feeling a little like death today, as in my insides feel like evil is stirring them with a wooden spoon, so I am going to keep this short.
I picked up the new Jamie Oliver yesterday, bringing the rough count to 32. The cover and illustrations are lovely, the pictures of dead bunnies bleeding out of their ears is not.
Most of the recipes are pretty meaty/seafoody too, which makes the book about 90% useless to me. Still, it's a lovely book overall and I really enjoyed reading the pages on vegetables and how to grow them. The photo of caterpillars made me want to barf but I found the section on eggs and the differences between standard/free-range/organic informative and will definitely be making an effort to buy better eggs. Overall, I don't see myself cooking much out if it nor foraging around in the woods for mushrooms, but it's got this cool retro quality about it, so I will still allow it to live on the shelf.
