1. Jamie Oliver calls Jamieâ € ™ s super food for every day the most personal book he has ever written. To write it, he made a voyage of discovery through the world of health and nutrition. With the book he wants to inspire you and enable you to get the most out of your life and to feel as healthy and happy as possible. His love for food remains the basis: "You have to enjoy food, you have to share it and make it a party."

Healthy choice

1. Every recipe in the book is a healthy choice, according to Oliver. He was previously apprenticed to various health and nutrition experts and now hopes that with this book he can help you make the right choices (usually). Knowledge is power, so it is important to learn how to put together a balanced meal. In addition, you can continue to snack now and then. "I don't think a sustainable healthy relationship with food is possible without those kinds of flip-flops. I myself use this book from Monday to Thursday / Friday and go for Jamieâ € ™ s comfort food at the weekend." For the recipes, Jamie Oliver and his nutritional team did his best to make them exciting, fun, innovative, but above all tasty. They consist of ingredients with nutrients, vitamins and minerals that complement each other optimally and meet his criteria for a balanced meal. In addition, the inspiration for the recipes comes from all over the world. Oliver and his team have also tried to keep the food affordable.

Anytime

1. The book contains recipes for breakfast (maximum 400 kilocalories), lunch, dinner (both maximum 600 kilocalories) and snacks and drinks (100 kilocalories). Some of the breakfast recipes may be too much for most Dutch people: rice, beans and tortillas for example. But you will also find fine recipes for homemade bread with toppings, various eggs and healthy porridge in Jamieâ € ™ s superfood for every day. The lunch dishes are just as diverse and vary from pasta and noodles to tacos and salads. Soups should of course also not be missed. Nice are the different variations of salad in a jar. The Mexican gazpacho with tortilla and garnish is delicious. The dinner recipes can be roughly divided into two categories: super fast and extensive cooking. This last group of recipes is therefore especially suitable for evenings when you have a little more time. The crispy sea bass with mashed peas, mint and asparagus is recommended. As well as the Indian cauliflower from the oven with pineapple and red pepper.

Surprising

1. The word surprising indeed fits well with the recipes. Oliver makes it clear that healthy and nutritious food doesn't have to be boring. The dishes are delicious and full of color and flavor. In other words, everything but standard, with mostly surprising ingredients. Sometimes that means searching, because they are ingredients that not everyone has in the cupboard as standard. But they are products that are readily available. And really add something extra to your meal. What is special is that Oliver took all the photos in the book himself. So the photos are actually a representation of his voyage of discovery in the world of healthier eating. The photos - and therefore also the dishes - have something robust. This gives you the feeling that you too can easily make the recipes.

Live healthy

1. Of course, a report - and for the result - of Oliver's voyage of discovery should not be missed. In the back of the book you will find a description of what he has learned and how he sees a balanced meal. The explanation is very clear and concrete and often based on the general standards of healthy nutrition. Even if you find Jamie Oliver's quest less interesting, it is a nice cookbook. By making the recipes, you actually automatically go along with his vision. You can use Jamie's super food for every day as a guide to changing your diet, but it is of course also very suitable as inspiration for healthy meals. English chef Jamie Oliver is a cooking phenomenon and one of the world's best loved television personalities. He has inspired people all over the world to have more fun in cooking and now wants to make people aware of what they eat with his Food Revolution.
