O Jamie Jamie Jamie! How do I love thee. This book is comfort with a capital C. It's comforting to read and it's comforting to delve into any one of the recipes-two of my favorites; the crowd please appetizer Giant Sausage Roll (p.42) and Winter Nights Chili (p.204)-makes enough for an army but it freezes well.
