The No 1 bestsellerThis is probably the most beautiful of my three Naked Chef books. I'd just got married when it came out and it represents a really happy time for me. This was my fastest selling book at the time, showing that my kind of cooking was fitting in with people's everyday lives. By keeping it simple, people really wanted to give it a go in the kitchen which is exactly what I was hoping to achieve with this book.Inside there are loads of classic, easy recipes like the fluffy pancakes USA stylie, my old man's superb chicken and the ultra-simple pukka pineapple with bashed-up mint sugar.
