This is Jamie Oliver doing what he is best at - sharing his enthusiasm for really well-cooked food. Ten years or so ago he told us he was 'stripping food down to the bare essentials' in order to justify his fully-clothed presentation of 'The Naked Chef'. Nowhere has he illustrated this better than in this latest series.

His dedication to a style of cooking which lets the ingredients speak for themselves merges brilliantly with the gardening tips provided as he grows and cooks his own vegetables.

Make a cup of tea while he prepares the meat but watch intently as he lovingly barbecues his leeks or makes a tomato consomme with vodka.

This series is Jamie's best yet and it confirms his place as one of the country's most-watchable chefs.
