Jamie Oliver is Britain’s best-loved chef. His matey charm and down-to-earth approach to cooking – from The Naked Chef to 30-Minute Meals – have made him a household favourite the length and breadth of the country. Jamie rose from humble pastry chef to television superstar by catching the eye of producers during a documentary about the River Cafe, where he was working at the time. His on-screen charisma meant that he featured heavily in the final programme, the offers came flooding in …and so The Naked Chef was born. The programme was a huge success, offering an initmate and fresh approach to cooking on TV. Jamie’s passion shone through and a whole generation of young people were captivated by his enthusiasm. Cooking was cool! His television series and books gave Jamie fame and fortune the world over, but he always wanted to do something positive with his success. Through his Fifteen charity restaurants and campaigns to revolutionise school dinners and get Britain cooking again, Jamie had proved himself to be more than simply a celebrity chef. His desire to bring about radical change has seen him meet with top politicans and raise millions of pounds for good causes. But deep down it’s all about the cooking – after the launch of his spectacularly successful 30-Minute Meals TV series and two record-breaking books n 2010 and 2011 – Jamie’s 30-Minute Meals and Jamie’s Great Britain, he has showed that he’s still the nation’s favourite chef.

I love Jamie Oliver and think his cooking methods and good work are truly inspirational. This book is great as it gives a perfect insight into how he went from being just another someone to the star he is today.

Thoroughly enjoyed the read as it filled in all the gaps about someone I have followed since he was introduced so many years ago. Funny, real and interesting. Could hear him talking as I read ! Great.

Great book. Gave it to my teenage son who is really keen on cooking and he loved it.

Lovely easy to read story of Jamie and how he came to such prominence in the cooking world. Whos silly idea is it to force you to put more words than you need.

Really enjoyed seeing a behind the scenes look at the person, you don’t normally get to see. I love some of his recipes they are so full of flavour. I am going to give one to my niece who is a new student. So that she has a good diet despite low income.

From helping in his Dad’s kitchen to helping in everybody’s kitchen, this book tells every step on the way. From a ‘duffer’ on school to an international ‘megacook’ who cooks for Prime Ministers, Presidents and Hollywood Royalty – Jamie retains his ‘common’ roots and cares about the tastebuds of the rest of us. This book outlines his strengths and his foibles. Read it from start to finish in one sitting – just like one of Jamie’s meals!
