  • I can't believe it's been 25 YEARS since the release of my book, The Naked Chef! To celebrate, I'll be reminiscing and reacting to some classic Naked Chef TV moments. Some things have changed... but some things definitely haven't!
    And if you'd like to reminisce with me, the original Naked Chef cookbook is available online! www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0...

    I'm 82 now. I re-learned cooking from you. I've been with you from day one on, have every DVD, every book in English and German and I still love watching you sharing your passion. Go back and look at the fantastic series, "Jamie at Home." Those shows are still my favourites. Thank you so much for all you have given us. My heart-felt gratitude to you.

    I became a single dad 20 years ago, and it was the Naked Chef that gave me the skills and passion to be able to cook my daughter healthy dinners as she grew up. She's all grown up now and cooks wonderfully healthy dinners for her and her guy. I can't thank Jamie enough for giving me the skills needed to toss together quick healthy meals that we both continue to cook today. I'm currently eating a pasta dish that I've made for decades that was inspired by you...Thank yo so very much.

    The Naked Chef was the first cooking show I remember watching, and I fell in love with it. I worked in restaurants for 15 years, and I fully believe the show is responsible.
    What a fun trip down memory lane.

    I used to watch Naked Chef all the time when i was in middle school and wanted to be a chef so badly. I would practice my knife skills by mimicking Jamie! . I got discouraged from pursuing it by my grandfather in high school. Then, when i dropped out of college, i saw Jamie At Home, which inspired me to start growing food, which led me toward becoming a farmer. Thanks for all of the inspiration, Jamie! It was instrumental. Congrats on all of the success!

    @jamieoliver I'll never forget seeing you on TV for the first time. Your style of cooking resonated with me, and you became my instant role to me at 13 years old. Getting to meet you in Toronto to have you sign my copy of the Naked Chef Takes off is still a highlight of my life; and well that book and picture of you from that day are still some of my most prized possessions ❤ thank you for making food so much more approachable and inspiring me all those many years ago❤❤

    Being honest here, it was the name of the show that had me clicking on for the first time. Thereafter it was your youthful energy and the shows format that I liked. I believe that it was the only programming with a younger vibe at the time. I've been watching your TV shows, buying your cookbooks and watching your UA-cam programming ever since. You somehow make me try different ingredients and combinations I wouldn't ever think of or want to work with - and like them! Thanks for the entertainment and information you've imparted over the years. Congratulations Jamie!

    I know for a fact the first cooking show we ever saw on tv was The Naked chef… I remember Sean yelling to me upstairs…” omg Jan, come see this kids peach salad! What is rocket? Looks super good!”
    Well Jamie… that was years and years ago and to this day we still make the “peach rocket salad”.. for those who don’t know.. fancy word for Arugula 😉
    It’s always a hit and for couple of years I always got your naked chef cookbook for a gift cause they not only told you about the food but you TOLD A STORY! That’s what’s made them
    So fun ! Congrats buddy for TAKING OFF! ( ha, see what I did there?) 💜🇨🇦

    I used to watch this programme all the time, reminds me of meeting my wife, we were around the same age as Jamie. We got our first place together, she bought me his book for Xmas, and I cooked loads of the recipes for us.
    25 yrs or down the line I still cook some of these dishes now. Tray bakes, the salads, the episode he did with jamiroqai was great.
    His Thai green curry, is the recipe I’ve used since and still do.
    I’m going to deep dive again and find the old episodes tonight,

    I have watched your show from the beginning and learnt the majority of my cooking skills from you over the past 25 years.
    Many great memories, my favourite episode of all time was when you went to Jay Kay's home from Jamiroquai, loved that one and it introduced me to them as well. One of my most listened to and favourite bands now.
    Thanks for it all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
    PS. I went to high school with your best man Ben O'Donoghue. He is a year or two younger than me and we would sometimes walk home from school together where we lived in Viveash in Western Australia.

    I'm 63 and I've always loved cooking. I watched those early shows and still have the first three NC books from they were first released. In fact I have most of your books. I refer to those first books regularly when I'm making burgers and crumbles among other things. Your recipes never fail. You de-mystified great dishes from the best quality fresh ingredients and I still follow that unpretentious philosophy to this day as a cook, bread baker and brewer. As an experienced cook my most referred-to book is Ministry of Food, even though it's aimed at beginners. In fact I'll be dipping into it this evening when cooking chilli for the millionth time! All the best to you all!

    Oh dear, is it really 25 years.... I've watched that show religiously. It was something so different to every other cook show on German TV back then. Some time later, our Tim Mälzer started a show that seemed to be very much influenced by The Naked Chef. Well done, boys, you really rocked the dust off of cooking and spiced it up with a good dose of fun. Would be great to bring these shows back on the screen as a re-run.

You didn't see many handsome male chefs on TV back then and he was so lovely & charming. I feel like I know Jamie but of course I don't, mad crush on him then and still adore him today. Thanks Jamie for it all. Love you!

    How refreshing!! Thank you so much for this walk down memory lane. So many recipes of yours have been an inspiration, either by following your steps or by adding my own spin on them. Every Christmas I make your vegan gravy and I can’t tell you how many times I used your five veg tomato sauce. Love Jools fish pie and the new recipe, using less pots and pans, you posted the other week. I also have a soft spot for the videos you posted during lockdown, holed up in the country with only few ingredients on hand due to food distribution problems. Hugs from France❤❤❤

I still enjoy your show but one of the things I loved about TNC was how you included cooking for friends and family and centring the show on a themed event like a musical gig or going home with Jools and cooking with your mum. Great times. Just as great now but with a different vibe. Thanks so much, Jamie, for all of efforts over the years!

    Watched a couple of the first ones, and yes, I still remember them. They were really good. First season was the best. Quite revolutionary to cooking. At least here in Sweden. And I still remember how annoying it was not to be able to get the fresh herbs and veggies here unless you had an outdoor food market near by or grew your own.

    How is this not a tv show? Get all the chefs looking back at their careers? Or family and friends looking back at their memories of ones we have lost (Keith Floyd etc) , I think there would be lots of nostalgia and laughs.

    I think the food scene in the uk today owes a lot to Jamie. Mixing food with cool music, friends, making it exciting and easy for people to recreate, thank you Jamie, top class ❤

    Loved that Jamie. I've been a fan since the first Naked Chef programme and have all your books which my daughter now treasures.
