“Jamie at Home” takes up organic gardening

Excerpt from “Hello Magazine”
June 2008

“The family bought a farmhouse near his old stomping ground, fixed it up and started spending weekends there unwinding. After coming across some seeds from Italy, he planted them and was utterly amazed when they bore plump, delicious tomatoes.

“Jamie had a professional gardener come and show him the ropes, and from there he was hooked. The produce that came out of his backyard was so sumptuous, it drove him back to the kitchen. Suddenly he was cooking some of the most inspired meals of his life for his loved ones.

“There’s something really grounding – and this is really where I start to sound like a hippie – about putting some salad seeds in the ground, and within three or four weeks, your cropping it. It’s so cheap, and it’s so much more alive and nutritious. You see it happening before your eyes.”
