Jamie gets the nation cooking clever, shopping smart and wasting less

This year, I've got the message loud and clear that as everyone comes under bigger and bigger financial pressure, they want help to cook tasty, nutritious food on a budget - so this book was born completely out of public demand.

It draws on knowledge and cooking skills to help you make better choices, showing you how to buy economically and efficiently, get the most out of your ingredients, save time and prevent food waste. And there's no compromise - I'm talking big flavours, comfort food that makes you happy, and colourful, optimistic dishes. As well as that, every single recipe in the book is cheaper per portion than your average takeaway, so every choice is a great value choice. Our biggest luxury is knowledge, whether times are hard or not, so get kitchen smart and smash the recession.

Jamie Oliver is known for his relaxed and easy way of cooking, and this is evident in his new book Save with Jamie. Oliver was able to combine tasty meals and affordability in this amazing new cookbook.

One of the impressive things in this book is how Oliver teaches the readers to use their leftovers and creativity to create a whole new dish that will definitely be enjoyed by the whole family. The book includes easy to follow instructions, and tips and tricks which make the meals simple and easy to recreate - even for the most inexperienced cooks.

This book contains a nutrition section where Oliver has listed not just the calorie count, but also the nutritional value of every meal in the book. It includes the fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates and sugar value of each dish. This can serve as a guide for those people who are health-conscious, or for those who want to create a healthy lifestyle.

It is also important to note that the book is written in Oliver's casual and conversational style. It does not have the strict and serious vibe that other cookbooks have and this makes it easier and more fun to read.
