In his latest book, TV chef Jamie Oliver sets out to uncover the hidden secrets of famous American cuisine. Feeling that there was more to the country then diners and fast-food, he travelled coast to coast finding inspiration in places such as New York, New Orleans, Wyoming and Los Angeles.

Of course the author is known to many and is currently one of the most famous cooking personalities in the UK. His career to date has been filled with success. After beginning cooking in his parents’ pub at the age of eight, he went on to study with the world’s top chefs, started his own restaurant chain and has also given plenty back to society via the Feed Me Better Movement, which revolutionised school dinners for kids across the country, as well as a host of other charitable causes.

In “Jamie’s America” there are 120 recipes that are sure to add a special twist to dinners. There aren’t many mainstream books covering the diverse subject of American cuisine, and here Oliver has managed to include an example of cuisine from every culture that has made the United States so unique. As always, his recipes are never hard to follow and will be a joy to cook for both beginner and intermediate chefs. If you are trying to please fussy eaters, this could well be the book for you. From New York noodles to Georgia venison and creamy beans and Seven Seas Soup from Los Angeles, there will be something here to appeal to any palette.
