What’s that sinful recipe you prepared for us?
This recipe (below) is on the menu at Fifteen Trattoria [Oliver’s restaurant in London]— I don’t know of many Italian trattorias that offer American cheesecake. But I’m glad Fifteen does because it’s absolutely delicious.
Want seconds? Check out Oliver’s new book, Cook with Jamie, published by Hyperion Books, out November 2007.

quite the romantic! naked seems like a reasonable moniker altho i wonder where it comes from??
amazing how we have entered the era of celebrity chef, celebrity designer, celebrity entrepreneur…the era where the individual becomes teh brand. is this a result of the media hyping these guys up? or they all simply do a brilliant job of branding themselves? cool that we as a society value talent beyond hollywood

Cheesecake is good, I will not be making it though. I still don’t know why they call him the naked chef. The goofy chef might be a better nickname. I like his advice about listening to his lady. Easier said than done.
