Summary
7 Ways to reinvent your favourite ingredients with more than 120 new， exciting and tasty recipes
Jamie's looked at the top ingredients we buy week in， week out。 We're talking about those meal staples we pick up without thinking - chicken breasts， salmon fillets， mince， eggs， potatoes， broccoli， mushrooms， to name but a few。 We're all busy， but that shouldn't stop us from having a tasty， nutritious meal after a long day at work or looking after the kids。
So， rather than trying to change what we buy， Jamie wants to give everyone new inspiration for their favourite supermarket ingredients。
Jamie will share 7 achievable， exciting and tasty ways to cook 18 of our favourite ingredients， and each recipe will include a minimal amount of ingredients。 Across the book， at least 70% of the recipes will be everyday options from both an ease and nutritional point of view， meaning you're covered for every day of the week。
With everything from fakeaways and traybakes to family and freezer favourites， you'll find bags of inspiration to help you mix things up in the kitchen。
Step up， 7 Ways， the most reader-focused cookbook Jamie has ever written。

Highly recommend this one。 All of the recipes use easily obtained ingredients for a delicious final product。 I’ve only made a few recipes so far but it is an instant favorite。 All of the recipes can easily be adjusted or personalized with by choosing different ingredients or spices。 Gorgeous pictures and yummy meals。

Hubby gifted this book on Christmas， & we’ve steadily been cooking our way through the recipes。 Thus far， all but one has worked well。 The recipes are fairly easy， limited ingredients， easily subbed out for what we have on hand， and have great photos。 Exactly what one could expect from Jamie。

I am a sucker for cookbooks that give themselves a challenge。 This one is full of arbitrary restrictions and I'm in love:- 18 chapters， 1 for each of the most common ingredients （mostly meats） people get at the supermarket。- Each chapter has 7 recipes - Each recipe has <10 ingredients。 Most have 7。 Lots of great ideas to mix things up and get out of a cooking rut。 I'm going to have to come back to this one after lent （I'm vegetarian for lent again this year。） I am a sucker for cookbooks that give themselves a challenge。 This one is full of arbitrary restrictions and I'm in love:- 18 chapters， 1 for each of the most common ingredients （mostly meats） people get at the supermarket。- Each chapter has 7 recipes - Each recipe has <10 ingredients。 Most have 7。 Lots of great ideas to mix things up and get out of a cooking rut。 I'm going to have to come back to this one after lent （I'm vegetarian for lent again this year。） 。。。more

This is a beautiful cookbook！ I am such a fan of Oliver’s cookbooks and have quite the collection now。 This one was the perfect addition。 I had my eye on it for a while and， when I saw it as a dream miles reward， I knew that it had to be mine！ The ingredients along the side is a nice add。 The book is visually pleasing and the recipes are ones that I will be trying。

When I had to say "hey Google， what is rose harissa？" or "hey Google， what are pappadams？" this book was not "easy" in any sense of the word。 For a book that purports "every day of the week" kind of meals it just did not did not deliver that at all。 For weeknight meals where was the use of a microwave or Instapot or even a crock pot？ Yes there were easy oven bake sort of meals but most had too much prep for me to be interested in on a weeknight。 I do not have time to grate apples or deal with ph When I had to say "hey Google， what is rose harissa？" or "hey Google， what are pappadams？" this book was not "easy" in any sense of the word。 For a book that purports "every day of the week" kind of meals it just did not did not deliver that at all。 For weeknight meals where was the use of a microwave or Instapot or even a crock pot？ Yes there were easy oven bake sort of meals but most had too much prep for me to be interested in on a weeknight。 I do not have time to grate apples or deal with phyllo pastry after working all day。 After looking through the entire book there are a few recipes I would try but that is it。 I am so glad I got this from the local library to check it out rather than purchasing it。 How is avocado and chickpeas on toast a recipe？ I am usually a Jamie fan but this is a "pass" for me。 。。。more

Interesting and unique set up with 7 recipes from 18 different main ingredients。 I am looking forward to trying several of these recipes。

I was immediately attracted to the structure: 18 common ingredients， each with 7 different recipes。 In my house， we do use some foods over and over again: chicken， broccoli， eggs， fish， potatoes。。。 And there are days when I feel like if I have to make another quiche， I'm going to run away from home。 Now I don't have to run away！ I can make cajun coddled eggs or cauli chicken pot pie。 My family occasionally eats red meat， can be picky about vegetables， needs leftovers for lunch， and includes a ve I was immediately attracted to the structure: 18 common ingredients， each with 7 different recipes。 In my house， we do use some foods over and over again: chicken， broccoli， eggs， fish， potatoes。。。 And there are days when I feel like if I have to make another quiche， I'm going to run away from home。 Now I don't have to run away！ I can make cajun coddled eggs or cauli chicken pot pie。 My family occasionally eats red meat， can be picky about vegetables， needs leftovers for lunch， and includes a vegetarian。 That can make dinner tricky。 This cookbook is the epitome of flexibility。 A steak recipe that sounds like flavors the vegetarian would enjoy？ Swap out one of the other ingredients （eggplant， sweet potato， mushrooms）。 Like the preparation of this main ingredient but not the sauce？ Find some other sauce that you can use。The ingredients lists on the recipes are nice and short and each recipe fits on one page with a picture facing。 For the most part， I found the ingredients to be things I usually have at home， though a few recipes would be a challenge for my basic pantry。 Still， I felt like it would be easy to substitute something that I did have in those cases。I made the potato lasagna which was delicious。 Oh， and I had more than my baking dish would hold so I made a second one with broccoli - see， flexible！ As often happens with a new recipe， I learned a few things that I would do differently， but given how yummy it was， I will definitely make it again with those tweaks。 I can also see how I could make it with different ingredients or spice combinations。 。。。more

The latest in Oliver's cookbooks， the recipes are organized around ingredients with seven ways to cook each one。 While the cookbook is nicely designed and laid out， with lots of photographs， none of the recipes were that interesting。 The latest in Oliver's cookbooks， the recipes are organized around ingredients with seven ways to cook each one。 While the cookbook is nicely designed and laid out， with lots of photographs， none of the recipes were that interesting。 。。。more

My least favorite of his cookbooks。 But possibly a favorite of a person who is just beginning to enter the kitchen for homemade nutrition。 Oliver selected 18 foods and developed seven recipes featuring that particular item。 The important thing about the book is that he continues to show a delicious photograph along with the small list of ingredients and brief instructions。 I think it will be helpful to new to the kitchen cooks in its simplicity。 Anyone can find at least one recipe to follow and My least favorite of his cookbooks。 But possibly a favorite of a person who is just beginning to enter the kitchen for homemade nutrition。 Oliver selected 18 foods and developed seven recipes featuring that particular item。 The important thing about the book is that he continues to show a delicious photograph along with the small list of ingredients and brief instructions。 I think it will be helpful to new to the kitchen cooks in its simplicity。 Anyone can find at least one recipe to follow and enjoy。 。。。more

I enjoy watching Jamie Oliver's myriad of cooking videos because he includes his family while cooking， and his steps are simple and basic。 I wish that his cookbooks were also streamlined like his videos though， in several ways。 I always wonder if his cookbook "team" researches North American equivalents for things like self-rising flour， which doesn't seem to work very well on the west coast of Canada。 I tried making his spinach pockets as described in the cookbook， and they were salty and under I enjoy watching Jamie Oliver's myriad of cooking videos because he includes his family while cooking， and his steps are simple and basic。 I wish that his cookbooks were also streamlined like his videos though， in several ways。 I always wonder if his cookbook "team" researches North American equivalents for things like self-rising flour， which doesn't seem to work very well on the west coast of Canada。 I tried making his spinach pockets as described in the cookbook， and they were salty and undercooked， and collapsed easily。 Another aspect of his cookbooks that I don't like is his use of obscure ingredients that are difficult to find， even in major city grocery stores。 I also wish that he would be consistent in his use of ingredients like curry paste， since this cookbook seems to use a different kind on every recipe。 Although I have made many recipes in my lifetime， some of Jamie's ingredient combinations in this cookbook seem strange， and I don't think that I would make them。 。。。more

This is one of my new favorite cookbooks。 The format of this book is excellent， and begs me to ask why other cookbooks are not formatted this way。 Every recipe centers around a common ingredient。 The ingredients involved are not overwhelming。 A lot of attention is payed to the process of preparing each recipe。 Also， the photos could not be more beautiful。 This is a very practical cookbook。 It’s perfect for the person who wants to cook more and improve their culinary skills while at the same time This is one of my new favorite cookbooks。 The format of this book is excellent， and begs me to ask why other cookbooks are not formatted this way。 Every recipe centers around a common ingredient。 The ingredients involved are not overwhelming。 A lot of attention is payed to the process of preparing each recipe。 Also， the photos could not be more beautiful。 This is a very practical cookbook。 It’s perfect for the person who wants to cook more and improve their culinary skills while at the same time keeping things simple。 。。。more

I did not find all the ingredients to be ones usually used by me or others around me， so some of the recipes were not "easy" in that respect。 Also， not all are meals and definitely not all dinners （which is what I usually look for in a generic recipe book）。 All are 2 or 4 serving sizes。 Everything is simple to follow， not a lot of ingredients， most are pretty quick。 Every recipe has a full page picture （which is nice）， setup is clean and consistent， and color scheme is very appealing。 I did not find all the ingredients to be ones usually used by me or others around me， so some of the recipes were not "easy" in that respect。 Also， not all are meals and definitely not all dinners （which is what I usually look for in a generic recipe book）。 All are 2 or 4 serving sizes。 Everything is simple to follow， not a lot of ingredients， most are pretty quick。 Every recipe has a full page picture （which is nice）， setup is clean and consistent， and color scheme is very appealing。 。。。more

What in the world is this cookbook？？！？ I’ve just read this cover to cover hoping for usable daily meals and I have to say that I’m pretty annoyed。 I’m a fan of the 15/30min series and was hoping this might have some more helpful takes on normal dinners- or heaven forbid dinners with kids。 It oscillates wildly between simple hangover food （scrambled eggs takes up several glossy pages）， food that looks like scrambled leftovers and very strange “high end” takes on rustic food。 Other than a few quit What in the world is this cookbook？？！？ I’ve just read this cover to cover hoping for usable daily meals and I have to say that I’m pretty annoyed。 I’m a fan of the 15/30min series and was hoping this might have some more helpful takes on normal dinners- or heaven forbid dinners with kids。 It oscillates wildly between simple hangover food （scrambled eggs takes up several glossy pages）， food that looks like scrambled leftovers and very strange “high end” takes on rustic food。 Other than a few quite odd sausage and mashed potato pies （get ready for ALOT of mashed potato） there is really not a lot of value in this。 I found myself genuinely asking if he was high for some of these recipes （burnt pasta tied around limp white fish？）。 This is a total washout for me and I’m honestly confused and exasperated。 Also， for a “simple/easy/weekday” cookbook to not even hint at steaming or a microwave is odd。 But then everything in this book is。 Also some of the condiments are not easily available in Australia。 Nope。 。。。more

Jamie Oliver says that he is always asked when will he write another cookbook like 5 Ingredients。 In 7 Ways he does a new spin on a similar concept by taking 18 staple ingredients and showing 7 different recipes that highlight that ingredient。 The 18 ingredients include obvious ones like chicken breast or eggs， but also some vegetables like cauliflower， avocado， and mushrooms。 Each ingredient section lists the 7 recipes， then each recipe has a picture of the finished dish on one side and the rec Jamie Oliver says that he is always asked when will he write another cookbook like 5 Ingredients。 In 7 Ways he does a new spin on a similar concept by taking 18 staple ingredients and showing 7 different recipes that highlight that ingredient。 The 18 ingredients include obvious ones like chicken breast or eggs， but also some vegetables like cauliflower， avocado， and mushrooms。 Each ingredient section lists the 7 recipes， then each recipe has a picture of the finished dish on one side and the recipe and ingredients on the other side。 I love that each recipe shows a picture of each ingredient - so you can see what to get， but I think also to highlight that each recipe doesn't have dozens of ingredients。 I really like the way the book is laid out and that each recipe has a photo to go with it。 In the Introduction he also lists the recipes by categories like - one pan wonders， simple pastas， etc。 I really like Jamie Oliver and I like how visually pleasing this cookbook is， but I personally didn't see that many recipes I wanted to try。 。。。more

I do like the concept of this book: you buy a set of "standard" ingredients during your weekly shop， and then you can use a set of different， really simple recipes to create a new dish with them。The problem is that there were only a few of these dishes I actually wanted to eat。。。 This is something I've had with the last 4-5 books by Jamie， especially those with a "healthy" vibe。 A lot of his recipes contain pasta or bread so I can't have those， and a lot of the "healthy" meals are the kind of "I I do like the concept of this book: you buy a set of "standard" ingredients during your weekly shop， and then you can use a set of different， really simple recipes to create a new dish with them。The problem is that there were only a few of these dishes I actually wanted to eat。。。 This is something I've had with the last 4-5 books by Jamie， especially those with a "healthy" vibe。 A lot of his recipes contain pasta or bread so I can't have those， and a lot of the "healthy" meals are the kind of "I'm only eating this because it's healthy" type。 Leaving only about 1/3 as somewhat interesting to me。This sounds a bit severe but it's not a bad book at all， he's just set the bar so high after his brilliant Ministry of Food ;） I did end up bookmarking a number of recipes which I'd like to try， I especially want to do a few of the curries - they've always been winners for me。 。。。more

A really great cookbook， the recipes are written simply so that they are so easy to follow。 I like the way the book is divided into 18 main ‘hero’ ingredients with ‘7 Ways’ to cook them。 The recipes are not daunting and if you shop well you can use a lot of the ingredients across multiple recipes to help with budgeting。 This is actually the first Jamie book I have brought as brand new and I don’t regret it。I have already tried a few dishes and they are great。
