My wife and I like Jamie Oliver’s TV shows. Some of his meals we sometimes cook and we like them. In the last two cycles of programs he presented wonderful ideology – fast dishes. The first cycle was how to cook a lunch in 30 minutes, where Jamie prepared 4 dishes in 30 minutes. The new cycle is about how to make a lunch in 15 minutes. Here, of course, he can’t cook 4 dishes, but 1-2 easily. It is clear that cooking these dishes for the first time, making them in time is almost impossible, but anyway a dish turns out to be quickly in making and interesting.

It should be noted that the book is organized in a different way, but it does not disturb us.

Hazelnut is a very tasty nut, has a wonderful sweet nutty flavor. Unfortunately, its skin is bitter a little, and it tastes much better without it. In most recipes it’s better to use hazelnuts without skin from the point of view of both taste and aesthetics. Fortunately, if you have an oven, removing the skin won’t be a problem.
