Jamie's Great Britain by Jamie Oliver, ISBN 9780718156817

> Cooking Books > General Books

This book is really special to me. It has been a long time coming, but sometimes it takes a few decades of looking at other countries to realise how wonderful your own really is. I grew up in one of the first true British 'gastropubs', which my Mum and Dad still run today. For me, the heart and soul of real British cooking is food that makes you happy and puts a smile on your face. And that's what I want to share with you: the real essence of British food, done properly.

Over the years, British food culture has embraced loads of different flavours and influences from all the people who have settled here and made Great Britain their home. I hope the food in this book reflects the open-mindedness of our culture as well as the beauty of Great Britain. There are over 100 of my favourite recipes here: some are indisputable classics, some are my versions of the classics, some should be classics but just haven't been made famous yet and others I've made up by picking from the great bounty of British produce.

Writing this book has been a real labour of love and wherever you're from, if you love food, I think it will offer you a little taste of happiness.

About the Author: Jamie Oliver

James Trevor 'Jamie' Oliver, MBE (born 27 May 1975), frequently nicknamed The Naked Chef, is an English chef and media personality well known for his growing list of food-focused television shows, his more recent roles in campaigning against the use of processed foods in national schools, and his campaign to change unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits for the better across the United Kingdom.
On 24th June 2000 Oliver married former model Juliette 'Jools' Norton. The couple met in 1993 and have four children, three daughters: Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, and Petal Blossom Rainbow. Baby boy Buddy Bear Maurice arrived in September 2010. Oliver announced Petal's birth via Twitter. They live in Clavering, Essex.
The Naked Chef (1998-1999) was Jamie Oliver's first series. The title was a reference to the simplicity of Oliver's recipes, and has nothing to do with nudity. Oliver has frequently admitted that he wasn't entirely happy with the title, which was devised by producer Patricia Llewellyn. (In the UK edit of the show, the opening titles include a clip of him telling an unseen questioner, "No way! It's not me, it's the food!") The success of the programme led to the books Return of the Naked Chef and Happy Days with the Naked Chef.
