We asked you to name your favourite Jamie recipe, even though it's hard to pick just one. Here’s what you said.
Jamie Oliver has been a breath of fresh air on the world culinary scene. Not only did he demystify everyday cooking for millions of hesitant home cooks across the globe, he has become a champion of healthy eating in Britain and the US.
For the November 2011 issue of TASTE magazine, we asked readers which of his recipes has become a stand-by in their homes.
Jamie's fantastic quick tomato macaroni and cheese
I love Jamie's quick tomato macaroni and cheese from Jamie's Dinners. My children and husband absolutely adore it and it even goes down a treat with dinner party guests.
I think the secret’s in adding the basil.

Jamie’s perfect roast potatoes
Without a doubt, Jamie’s perfect roast potatoes from Jamie's Family Christmas. They’re a winning partner to any meal, be it a weekday dinner or a Sunday lunch.
I know it seems really easy to roast potatoes, but I learnt a trick or two from Jamie – like only seasoning the potatoes halfway through the baking process. I’m now the resident roast potato queen.

Jamie's Italian risotto
The risotto recipe from Jamie’s Italy is a reliable showstopper on special occasions.
It contains tons of Parmesan and butter, which makes it utterly delicious, and although it’s quite time consuming to make (your arms get very tired from all the stirring), the end result is worth every bit of effort.

Jamie's roast chicken with lemon
The roast chicken with lemon from Jamie's Dinners is the absolute best!
It’s so easy and straightforward to make, yet puts a new spin on traditional roast chicken, adding a fresh lemony taste that cuts right through the greasiness.
