30 min meals

I've tried a few of his 15 minute meals - all were well over time even excluding the seemingly obligatory salad that makes up part of the meal. IIRC he acknowledges that preparation time is excluded from those 15/30 minutes.
 
Me neither - took much longer than stated but food is good enough - we use the Jamie does America book a lot and theres some great stuff to try in there also, simple but tasty stuff. Cooking at home makes me dislike normal pub grub for sure bland and shite!
