Jamie Oliver's Happy Days With the Naked Chef is in the same mould as his other recipes for simple, comforting, homely food. This time, however, he has some interesting additions from his travels to Australia, New Zealand, America and Japan. There are three new ideas in Happy Days With the Naked Chef . Jamie has included a chapter on "Comfort Food"--the kind of cooking Nigel Slater and Nigella Lawson specialise in. He has recipes for Toad in the Hole, Fish Finger Buttie and Sticky Sausage Bap with Melted Cheese and Brown Sauce. In his "Quick Fixes" chapter, he has selected dishes where saving time and minimal washing up are the key ingredients. These include a Steak Sarnie and Chicken Breast Baked in a Bag with Mushrooms, Butter, White Wine and Thyme. He has also included a "Kids Club" chapter, which is offers inspiration for parents trying to get their children excited about food. The new additions don't dominate the book as the remaining two-thirds contain Jamie's standard Italian-style simple salads, fish, meat, vegetables, breads and pudding. Don't miss the excellent recipe for Medallions of Beef with Morels and Marsala and Crème Fraîche Sauce. Jamie has also been travelling and you'll find recipes with pak choy, soy sauce and ginger popping up here and there--delicious! -- Elizabeth Murgatroyd

Last week when I was in New York, I met the editor who discovered Jamie Oliver. He says Jamie's one of the most genuine guys you'll ever meet. Somehow, I'm not surprised by that comment. I love his cookbooks. The recipes are hard to mess up. A couple glugs, handfuls, and pinches and you're good to go.

Browsing this book in early 2002 caused a revelation - cooking can be fun! And you are not required to be funereal and solemn! You can have a glass of wine while you wait for something to boil! Hallelujah!
I don't (and never will) cook 3 times a day, but when a bout of domesticity hits, this is a book I turn to. Pot-roasted chicken with sweet and sour sauce is an all-time favourite.

I love the way Jamie wants to make everything excessible and flexbile. I think those are fantastic traits in a chef. i also love how he writes his recipes, he does it in paragraph form...
That said, there were only a few recipes I was actually able to apply to cook at home. And there is A LOT of BUTTER in EVERYTHING.

Jamie and Nigella were two of THE celebrity chefs of the new millennium so if you love making delicious food at home that has an extra edge, then you probably already have one or more of their cookery books.
This is one of my favourite Jamie Oliver books although Jamie's Dinners is also excellent, and of course his original Naked Chef is great.
10 years on and Jamie and Nigella now irritate as many people as they delight, but their recipes remain fantastic.
They work, they are not long and overly-complicated and they pass the taste-test. Don't knock them till you've tried them!

This may be my favorite of all of Oliver's books so far. The things I loved about his earlier books (gorgeous photography, personable narrations of the dishes) are still here, but the recipes are focused on simple meals to make at home with family, all very doable and tempting. I would tag this one as the "must have" Jamie Oliver cookbook out of them all.

I really enjoyed this cookbook, and use several of the recipies in it as staples inmy family, most notably the chicken in milk and the sweet and sour pot-roated chicken. There are a few recipies that are not worth the effort, such as the rock hen in dough, but overall I' d say it's a lively book which really appeals to my desire for easy, "fancy" dishes. I'd say this isn't for some beginners becasue not every ingredient is measured exactly but I don't really think it would be much of a problem. The pot-roasted pork with fennell is AMAZING. The pictures are great, too, as I've always preferred cookbooks with pictures of every dish.
