[#4664291]

Bought the 15 minute meals app, took it shopping, got my ingredients, ready to go... Where are the instructions!!!

WTF, scroll down to the bottom, "get the instruction on page 64 of the book". why publish a cooking app and not include the instructions - I'm annoyed.

Good looking app apart from it is pointless. I could have guessed the ingredients myself,

You owe me two quid Oliver,

You would have paid £2 for a recipe?
What book? Paypal me £2 and I'll take a pic of the recipe assuming it's in one of the books on the shelf.
(Bugger, not got the 15 min book)

15 minute meals! Yeah right. 15 minutes to cook, hour and half to clean up.

Aside from the obvious on the bookshelves (Beeton, Smith and an ancient Good Housekeeping), there are a few more esoteric ones (Wagamama, which is surprisingly good, and a great Madhur Jaffrey curry book), do you really need any more than this?

Never failed me.

I've got a female friend who says she was once done by Jamie Oliver. Probably in a slightly different way to you though. 😉

Just a guess, but maybe it's to sell books ?

Did you not read all the crap reviews, its just loads of people saying the same as you.

I would have read those and not bothered personally 😉

Heston at home, Ferrari adria - home cooking, region British food - mark hix are good. Ramsey is ok, Jamie's books are ok but I think I'm going to post them to him without stamps on. If that means he will have to pay delivery!

Quite disturbing imagery, but top work on her part

Well he is a Mockney, so what do you expect 😛

Anything related to him is a rip off anyway. Talk like a prat saying Bish Bash Bosh and have posh friends to dinner and you're sorted. Loads of high priced branded products, restaurants, advertising deals and TV shows. The cooking is a side line and frankly nothing special other than his gritty urban way of presenting it.

See he's getting sued in US for banging on about 'pink slime' and causing the collapse of various parts of the meat industry there. Sure the stuff isn't great to look at, but it's not unhealthy stuff.

Dont worry, Ive been done as well 😥 I found the title misleading. I thought the book contained 15 different meals you could cook in a minute.

Now you have the ingredients, make something up. Just like Jaime Oliver does.

Wasn't it the biggest grossing app for the iPhone for a looooong time.
