Publishers Description: In The Naked Chef, Jamie has applied his strip it bare then make it work principle to all his meals - from salads to roasts, desserts to pastas - and has created a foolproof repertoire of simple, feisty and delicious recipes which combine bold flavours with fresh ingredients. At the same time he avoids culinary jargon and any complicated, time-consuming process that isnt justified by the end results. This is a book that will appeal to everyone; from those who want great, modern food but who also want to keep things simple, to those who want to prepare fantastic meals but dont have the time to spend all night cooking. The Naked Chef is all about giving people confidence and getting them to feel at ease in the kitchen, and the meals Jamie makes are ones that anyone - even a kitchenphobe - can make themselves and will be as delicious when cooked at home as they are mouth-watering on the screen. Industry Reviews Celebrity chef Olivers first book is full of simple ideas and trends for smart modern cooks, who enjoy making utterly delicious dishes. He is skilled at describing the texture and handling techniques when making fresh pasta, willing you to enjoy the process as much as he does. His unpretentious, easy-to-follow recipes inspire the reader to delve into bread-making the Italian way, to create soups in minutes and to roast lamb in six different ways. This book affirms that Oliver is truly passionate about food. Reviewed by Rose Gray, co-author of The River Cafe Cook Books (Kirkus UK)
