Jamie Trevor Oliver, also known as the Naked Chef, is a British celebrity chef. // Jamie grew up in a small Essex village called Clavering. His parents own a pub called The Cricketers. He formed the band Scarlet Division with Leigh Haggerwood in 1989. He attended Westminster Catering College when he was 16. His first TV break came in 1996 when he was discovered by television producer Pat Llewellyn while working at the River Café in London. She saw him on a documentary called Christmas at the River Café & recognised his star potential immediately. Two highly successful series of The Naked Chef were filmed in 1998 & 1999. & on June 24, 2000 he married Juliette Norton, also known as Jools. The couple met in 1993 & currently have two daughters, Poppy Honey & Daisy Boo. He has been part of a financially successful advertising campaign by the Sainsburys supermarket chain, featuring him on his scooter, promoting their healthy food.

Its hard to keep up with Jamie Oliver these days, a restaurant here & 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 & Mum were swooning, & why hes everyones favourite cheeky chappy. Recipes such as Thai Seared Carpaccio, Tray Baked Pork Chops with Thyme & Roasted Pears, Preserved Slow-cooked Baby Bell Chillies Stuffed with Anchovies & 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 & weighing take a back seat to tasting & trusting your instincts. Youll be whacking out the ole Slashed Fillet of Sea Bass Baked with Wild Mushrooms & Potatoes in no time. Its a cooking style that encourages pleasure in making tasty food for good friends. As he says its just about gettin your mates around & gettin the boys & 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 girlfriends mates. Pukka tukka, nuff said, mate.
