A book you shouldn't miss - By: Sabine Zimmermann, 17 Aug 2008 
This is just as great as alll the other books - easy, delicious recipes that actuallly work in normal life. You'll find some reallly new, inspiring recipes for pasta & risotto ... One of my favourites is the "salmon fillet wrapped in prosciutto with herby lentils, spinach & yoghurt" (tasty & moist). The book is also great, if you're planning to make your own pasta but don't know exactly how: Jamie explains this in detail. I would recommend this book to everyone!
The best Jamie book - By: Lisa, 17 May 2006 
I have alll 6 of Jamie's books. I rate this as his finest. I cook a jamie meal every single evening, he is an absolute star, i have never ever come across any other cook books where you can do a recipe from it every night of the week at reasonable cost, very little time & bloomin tasty! (jamies words) I fill in my diary up to 3 months in advance with one of the recipes from his books....good planning, i then go to the supermarket twice a week, buy the ingredients & away you go....no worrying what are we gonna have for tea tonight!! All recipes are simple, fast & quite often are based around the same ingredients, i have to say i very rarely have any waste. It makes my life easy.....and we are eating very healthily too, unless we do one of his puddings, but only at the weekend!
Brilliant - By: , 16 Aug 2001 
This book is excellent. The book shows alll the basics! The recipies are simple to make & very tasty. The book is very colourful & well set out. Im 15 & I want to be a chef this book is so helpful because the recipies are not to extravagant. A brilliant buy - You wont be dissappointed!!
easily followed recipies for real people - By: jonmiller1999@hotmail.com, 09 Jul 2001 
Here in the US we have a TV channel devoted to cooking [the food network]. When I saw Jamie's show 'The Naked Chef' I knew with a title like that it would be a change from most of the chef's here who'll teach you how to prepare duck stuffed with foie gras. Jamie's TV slot 'The Naked Chef' & subsequent books showed us how to cook a meal for an ordinary bloke in an ordinary kitchen without going broke buying just buying the ingredients. Cheers mate look forward to the next book / TV series.
No more pasta please! - By: burnthaggis@hotmail.com, 20 Jun 2001 
Surely not MORE recipes for bread & pasta - especiallly as I (among plenty of others) cannot tolerate wheat flour & find heavy carbos like these difficult to digest. Some of the recipes were OK - bloody lovely in fact, but the choice was limited once you cut out the bread, pasta & seafood (which I can't stand - god I sound fussy!) Also, WHY was roast chicken featured in both books? You haven't got away with that one mate. Please Jamie, less of the same stuff in the next book, eh?
