Books like Jamie's 30-Minute Meals

Allow me to doubt the 30 minutes or, if those are really possible, maybe find a new place to have the actual meal, 'cos the kitchen sure as hell cannot be used for a while.. Most of the recipes are based on pasta, rice or potatoes, while I would have liked to see more vegetable side dishes. Also, many ingredients are harder to find in some countries or do not come in semi-prepared form (eg. the half-hour allotted would be spend only scrubbing the mini carrots from one of the recipes; also, here we rarely find butchers that portion the meat as asked, so there's a lot of time spent there too).The pictures are gorgeous, the organizing tips are useful, but I have to admit that, overall, I'm disappointed with the book.
