21 Days of Jamie Oliver Homecooking, by Philips

Day One (sorry no recipes today!)
I got a Jamie Oliver Homecooker  for Christmas from Santa (via my husband's work gift!  He works for a company owned by Philips)  so anyway, I love appliances, so I was pretty excited about this, packed the instruction manual and recipe book that came with it to take camping as part of my reading material... unfortunately I was a little disapointed with everything I read... It seemed a bit a let down.  Typical Jamie Oliver recipes...not really for the home "chef"  in the book, but, then again, I think I can adapt and change things for the ingredients I have...worth a try anyway.

So, before I just give up on it and say it's not worth the hype, I figured i would give it a chance and see if I can do something in it for 21 days in a row before I decide if I like it or not!!!

Philips  Jamie Oliver HomeCooker 1500 W HR1040/90this is what the Homecooker looks like and if you follow this post I can show you what the homecooker can...or cannot do!!

Day one requires something more than a breif introduction I guess, so I did a bit of recesarch to find recipes and tips.  I found this pinterest page

this facebook group - although you have ask to join, so you wont see their stuff straight away (it only took a couple of minutes for me to be approved though!!)

bear in mind that this is just research day, so I haven't tested any of the recipes on these sites or look too thoroughly at them.
Here is my pinterest board of recipes that i am keen to try in the homecooker, and I will note any adjusted recipes or made up ones on my recipe blog page, here
