Summary: they get better and better
Comment: Jamie Oliver is a cooking sensation. Believe it or not, despite all of the amazing press that he has had in Canada and the USA, he is still nowhere near the level that he has reached in his native Britain. It's really incredible to watch his star rise. It's especially incredible to see him rise and continue to release such wonderful cookbooks.
Happy Days With the Naked Chef is Jamie's third book. In the new book, Jamie explores much of the same territory he has introduced us to in the first two. The food is easy to prepare, not too cheffy (as he likes to say) and super tasty. but what sets Happy Days apart from the other two is the section for kids. It's great to see Jamie's Kids Club incorporated into a book. The section isn't so much recipes for kids as it is a handbook of sorts (as only Jamie could write) to help parents get kids interested in cooking. It's a really great chapter.
But really, we all come to Jamie for the recipes...which, as usual, are amazing. They're easy to make, fun to serve and cover all varieties of diet (even the salads are amazing).
For a good, basic cookbook that is high on attitude and low on pretention, Happy Days is it.

Summary: Wonderful cookbook for cooks at any level of skill...
Comment: I love to cook and eat, and can make very complex things that take a couple of days or longer to put together, but I also have a small child and a lot of other things to do, and I love this guy's food!! Getting an excellent dinner on the table without too much effort (or even extreme expense) is his whole focus.
I have gotten more useful ideas from him on making fast heavenly healthy dishes with not too many ingredients. His food is heavy on fresh ingredients, olive oil, and fresh herbs. If you love to cook fine food and want more quick food ideas, or if you have no clue how to cook and want to start, this is a wonderful book.
The first two recipes I tried from this (a roast of lamb, and a beef stew, both with plenty of vegetables) were simple to understand and prepare, had longer cooking times than prep times, and were the best recipes of their kind that I had ever tried, and I have a very large and very good cookbook collection! I look forward to cooking my way through the rest of it.
I also love the pictures - usually a book with such beautiful food photography has turned out to either have mediocre or ridiculously complicated recipes! Neither is the case here. I must also say that the dishes I turned out looked wonderful as well as tasting wonderful, with no special effort on my part.
I also have to praise him for his ongoing support and promotion of organic meat and vegetables!

Summary: A "Guaranteed to be Appreciated" Gift
Comment: I do a lot of cooking. I'm not very good, but I love it- and every once in a while I get things right. I have all of Jamie Oliver's books, as well as loads of other cookbooks. Jamie Oliver's books are the best launchpads for the home chef- he never assumes you know the terminology, or that you watch every episode of Martha Stewart. All of his books are colorful, engaging and fun. "Happy Days with the Naked Chef" is by far the simpliest to follow, the quickest and his recipies are great confidence builders. The dishes are fun to make, easy, and turn out great- even at the hands of a novice like me. The books are also great for the expert chef, as I've found out by the amount of times I've given this book, and his others, as gifts to my friends and family. It is one of those great books that anyone that has even an inkling towards cooking will be able to use and appreciate. I gave it to a non-cooking co-worker who made recipies out of it for a girl he was dating- they're married now. It must've been the food.
