Amazon.co.uk Review

It's hard to keep up with Jamie Oliver (aka The Naked Chef) these days--a restaurant here and there; a line of herbs at the supermarket; a pop CD from his television show; new books willy-nilly. With this ubiquity one could be forgiven for forgetting exactly why the nation fell gobsmackingly in love with him in the first place. One look at this video should remind you just why your Nan and Mum were swooning, and why he's everyone's favourite cheeky chappy. Recipes such as Thai Seared Carpaccio, Tray Baked Pork Chops with Thyme and Roasted Pears, Preserved Slow-cooked Baby Bell Chillies Stuffed with Anchovies and Capers, may sound difficult, but he has a knack for making all of these seem manageable for even the most reticent cook.

Following on from the first series of the show, tedious measuring and weighing take a back seat to tasting and trusting your instincts. You'll be whacking out the ole' Slashed Fillet of Sea Bass Baked with Wild Mushrooms and Potatoes in no time. It's a cooking style that encourages pleasure in making tasty food for good friends. As he says "it's just about gettin' your mates around and gettin' the boys and girls fed". Simple. Food in each of the eight episodes is created for most imaginable dinner party situations--Baked Custard Tarts to take to the Walthamstow dogs; Mediterranean Roasted Chicken in Homemade Chickpea Flat Bread for a family trip to the Southend fun fair; a mouthwatering post-clubbing fry-up for a group of his girlfriend's mates. Pukka tukka--nuff said, mate. --Tricia Tuttle

Synopsis

The second season of Jamie Oliver's immensely popular Naked Chef television series. The "naked" in the title of the show refers to cooking meals that are stripped to their bare essentials: ignoring all the flourishes that make many recipes too much effort for most folks while still producing meals that are creative and delicious. Filled with hearty salads, tasty meats, flavorful pastas, and savory breads, Jamie provides a new twist on usual favorite dishes. Containing over three hours worth of Jamie's instruction plus "The New York Special," this collection of the Naked Chef is perfect for anyone who's interested in cooking great meals but intimidated by the time and effort most other shows' recipes require.

Pukka!

Top geezer, wicked, sorted. Whether you like him as a person or not, there is no denying that the boy can cook. This dvd is fantastic, all the recipes are simply and easy to make and has the good feature of "Select a dish" where you can access each recipe straight away. I have loved every series so far and hope there will be many more to come. Long live the naked chef!

Jamie makes cooking fun, exciting and very easy. Even if do not want to cook something, it is a good watch just to play the DVD.
