A new cookbook by TV chef and entrepreneur Jamie Oliver is being donated free to all 50 Devon County Council libraries in a move by publishers to make it available and accessible to everyone.
Jamie's new book, 'Save With Jamie', launched today, is in response to public demand for a cookbook about exciting food that doesn't 'break the bank'.
It includes recipes, advice and techniques to teach people recession-busting cooking skills, to help families under financial pressure to shop carefully, cook cleverly and to eat well with less waste.

However, this doesn't mean just wearing a pair of boots or holding a toy hammer in your hand, we want the full works! Preferably all participating children will be wearing clothing such as Hi Vis vests, hard hats, tool belts and overalls, like a real construction worker....

Popular television series Antiques Roadshow will be filmed on Exeter Cathedral Green on Thursday September 12. Presenter Fiona Bruce said: "Presenting the Antiques Roadshow is, for me, one of those rare and very lucky coincidences in television when you get to work on a show that you already love to watch. Exploring the human story behind every object is what makes Antiques Roadshow so fascinating. And everyone loves the agony and ecstasy of the 'what's it worth?' moment.
