7 Ways: Easy Ideas for Every Day of the Week [American Measurements]

by Jamie Oliver

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

Are you tired of the same chicken dish or green salad? Do you know only one or two ways to cook a steak? Then, this cookbook is for you! Jamie Oliver takes 18 tried-and-true American ingredients and develops seven different ways to cook each of them. By doing so, he introduces creative but equally important ways to repurpose dishes after the first one is done. For example, steak is the hero of one meal and is an incorporated ingredient in the next. With great commentary to go along with easy-to-follow steps.

7 Ways to reinvent your favorite ingredients with more than 120 new, exciting and tasty recipes

Naked Chef television personality Jamie Oliver has 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, ground beef, 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 favorite supermarket ingredients.

Jamie will share 7 achievable, exciting and tasty ways to cook 18 of our favorite ingredients, and each recipe will include no more than 8 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 favorites, 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.

Editorial Reviews

10/05/2020

The prolific Oliver returns with a clever if not groundbreaking follow-up to 2017’s 5 Ingredients. The organizing principle is what Oliver calls “hero ingredients,” or commonly purchased grocery items (broccoli, cauliflower, chicken, etc), each of which here serves as the foundation for seven dishes. Recipes are vegetable-focused (a quiche’s bright-green pea filling, for instance, is enclosed in a crust that incorporates avocado and is topped with a tangle of salad), rely on packaged items (such as a bag of “mixed stir-fry veg,” and cooked rice for chicken meatballs), and ethnic-inflected but without much concern for authenticity (a calzone contains cheddar cheese and mustard). Dishes like a “Milanese” eggplant parmigiana call for three and a half ounces of rosemary focaccia to make breadcrumbs, teriyaki salmon is cut accordion-style and served atop rice noodles steeped in green tea, and the chicken chapter offers seven ways to roast a whole bird. Though the recipes aren’t overtly inventive, this does much to advance Oliver’s quest to make nutritious food accessible. (Nov.)

From the Publisher

12/01/2020

Oliver's latest book, like 5 Ingredients: Quick & Easy Food, has a deceptively simple theme: 18 basic foods, each showcased seven ways. Here, the focus is primarily on entrées, which vary in complexity from eggplant and ricotta pasta to mushroom and chicken cacciatore. Oliver states that he wanted to center this newest book on ingredients already familiar to home cooks (e.g., cauliflower, sweet potato, whole chicken, and pork). Conveniently, each chapter focuses on one of the 18 ingredients and proceeds to feature variations. Cajun coddled eggs, Indian-inspired frittata, and easy egg and ham phyllo bake are examples of how a range of dishes build upon basic starters. Gorgeous photography by Biss is featured throughout. A nice touch is that photographs of each key component in a given dish are featured below the title, giving home cooks a quick feel of the flavors involved. Helpfully, the collection also includes basic nutritional information for each meal as well as a thorough index. VERDICT Another winning entry in Oliver's stable of hits; predict big demand from new and old fans alike.—Susan Hurst, Miami Univ. Libs., Oxford, OH
