Jamie's Great Britain: Over 130 Reasons To Love Our Food is a book written by the master chef Jamie Oliver, which takes a fresh view on British cooking practices and cuisine. The author uses his own cooking skills to highlight the indigenous English dishes that have been lost owing to the cultural mix that the United Kingdom, and in particular Britain, has been witnessing. Jamie Olivier has written this book after studying the cuisines of several countries and comparing them with that of his homeland. He states that British food ranks among the best, if prepared in the right manner. The author also explores the multi-cultural nature of British cuisine, which he states is because of increased immigration to the region. As the title suggests, there are one hundred and thirty dishes that have been handpicked by the author. Some of the recipes instruct the readers on how to prepare ethnic British dishes and there are a few recipes that have been created by the cook himself. Jamie Oliver developed a love for cooking at the young age of eight. His parents owned a pub called The Cricketers in Essex. He became a chef at the River Café soon after he finished his schooling and tasted success with his show, The Naked Chef. He owns fifteen restaurants in Britain and has been instrumental in altering the cooking style of England. He has written other popular books like Jamie's 30-Minute Meals, Cook With Jamie: My Guide To Making You A Better Cook, Jamie At Home: Cook Your Way To The Good Life, Jamie’s Ministry Of Food: Anyone Can Learn To Cook In 24 Hours, and Jamie's Italy.
