Advantages: His enthusiasm is contagious

Disadvantages: I can't stop reading it and it makes me hungry

Jamie Oliver is a star. I’ve never had such a good time reading a cookbook! Last night I made the “Fantastic Roast Chicken” and it was amazing and knocked the socks off my guests. His skills comes from a true passion for cooking and good food.

This book is fun and easy to follow and full of interesting tips and hints. He has a way with words and is laid back and casual in his Essex Boy way!

At the beginning of the book he shares all of his favorite tips and gives expert advice. He includes a list of “Cupboard Stuff” to help you put together a kitchen that is ready for anything with all the basics. He explains the difference between fresh and dried spices and there is a whole section on planting a little potted herb garden.

It seems that he has been exposed to Italian food quite a lot and it shows in his recipes and ingredients. All of the recipes are easy and “do-able” for even the most useless of cooks and you can even get adventurous with homemade bread or pasta! Fear not! He is a believer that dried pasta has its rightful place in the kitchen and offers loads of recipes for both fresh and dried.

This boy’s love for food and enthusiastic attitude will have you as excited as he is about your next meal. My boyfriend is French and a certified “food snob” and he was suitably impressed with the recipes and now questions the real nationality of the Naked Chef!!

Having a party? He'll tell you how to inject vodka into a watermelon! That'll really impress your friends.

This book is a must for your kitchen!
