Hi!! My favourite British cook, obviously Jamie Oliver, has a new website. Jamie’s Ministry of Food is a colorful site with great recipes Jamie’s style: a mixed of Asian, Italian and England cuisine.

Jamie Oliver: “new TV series and campaign, Ministry of Food, is all about getting people cooking again. He wants to show us that anyone can learn to cook – and that it’s fun, cool, can save you money and help you, your family and friends to live a healthier life.”

I discovered this site in Soitu.es. Gabi shows in his page amazing sketchers and  writes some comments in English, but he ads a Spanish translation very useful for us.

Furthermore, Gabi’s style is not too much difficult.

They seem to be quite difficult for beginners like me.

1.- His ambition is to fly
2.- My cat’s favourite activity is sleeping
3.- All you have to do is connect a external drive

I tried to find a pattern, but I didn’t get. May be is the meaning.
