    I'm looking at my book right now, as I watch the show. DH got it for me for Xmas. I'm going to try and cook the vege curry this week.

    I was once a Jamie-hater. Since I bought his 20-minute Meals iPhone application, I'm a complete convert. I'm looking forward to trying the recipes in his 30-minute Meals book, cause they look really great. Easy, tasty, nom nom nom. Jamie and Nigella (and soon, Donna Hay) are turning me into a good little cook.

    We quite like the show and were trying to find the book today. No luck unfortunately.

    Is it available in Oz yet?

    My DH got the book at Borders, but we saw it at Readings and Dymocks as well.

    There are two iPhone apps - a free one, and a paid one. I have both. The paid one is about $10, which is the most expensive app I've bought, but it's been totally worth it.

    You can get it from the book depository (google exactly that), very cheap $33.70, free postage world wide and in hard copy, fast postage too

    Most stores in Oz sold out of 30 minute meals before christmas. Ive been looking for it for aggggggggges but no luck so Im ordering it online.

    I love Jamie. I am a simple cook so I love his cookbooks.

    I dont know about the 30 minute meals but I have his 20 minute meals iPhone app and it's really good. He even has videos and photos of the processes and techniques, so it's pretty failsafe! And they are all quick to make as well.

    I just bought it yesterday. I got mine from Doubleday books for $24.95 (they had it 50% off) and free postage. I am super impressed by the show and really excited about getting the book.

    While we were searching for it online last night, we also noticed that he sends free daily emails with his 30 min recipes as well. DH found that link so I am not sure where it is but I think we signed up so I will put the info here if I can find it

    Try herbs in pots, so you can move them around and find a spot that works for them. I've had no luck in some spots and then have to hack the things back in other places.

    Wow, a zester. That's revolutionary. Who'd expect to use that from a cookbook recipe?
