More than two decades since Jamie Oliver shot to fame with The Naked Chef, the TV chef is returning with a brand new cookbook: Simply Jamie.

After stints as a pastry chef in Antonio Carluccio’s restaurant and as a sous-chef at the famous The River Cafe, his hit BBC show The Naked Chef debuted in 1999 with his book of the same name becoming a bestseller in the UK.

In the 25 years since, the celebrity chef has campaigned for healthier food for school children, been awarded an MBE, opened numerous restaurants and written more than 30 books (Oliver is the bestselling non-fiction British author).

His 35th book, Simply Jamie takes it back to basics with five chapters aiming to bring joy back into the kitchen. From livening up midweek meals to ensuring you get the best bang for your buck with dinner leftovers, Oliver says the culinary bible will arm you with new confidence in the kitchen.

Released in the autumn, the good news is that Amazon is currently offering 50 per cent off pre-orders. Here’s everything you need to know.
