7 days of dinners from Jamie’s 7 Ways cookbook

by Malou Herkes

published on 6 October 2020

We can't get enough of Jamie's new cookbook, 7 Ways, with 120 new recipes for every day of the week. “Whether you want something classic, comforting, light, hearty or slap-you-round-the-face exciting, I’ve got you covered”, says Jamie. He's not wrong: there are midweek meals that you can make in under 30 minutes, inventive twists on your Sunday roast chicken (a whole chapter of them, to be precise) and clever tricks to make your Friday night takeaway healthier and cheaper, plus lots of veggie options too.

From meat-free Mondays to Friday night fakeaways, Jamie Oliver: 7 Ways is giving us new ideas for the most common supermarket ingredients we shop for week-in, week-out.
