The Naked Chef

原味主廚

British born Jamie Oliver is one of the most renowned chefs in the world. He got the title, the Naked Chef, from his first-ever cooking show with the same name in 1999. Oliver did not actually appear nude on the program because the title was simply a reference to his simple style of cooking. However, it did help launch him to stardom as it caught the attention of housewives and aspiring chefs all around the world. He went on to publish a handful of best-selling cookbooks, such as The Naked Chef and Jamie’s 15-Minute Meals, and to host countless more food and cooking related specials and series on TV.

中譯

出生於英國的傑米•奧利佛是世上最有名的廚師之一。他從 1999 年第一個同名的烹飪節目獲得 —— 原味主廚（原文為裸體廚師）—— 的頭銜。奧利佛不是真的裸體出現在節目中，因為這個頭銜只是有關他烹飪的簡單風格。然而，這個頭銜引起全世界家庭主婦和有抱負廚師們的注意，真的助他成為明星。他接著出版了幾本暢銷食譜，如《原味主廚》、《傑米•奧利佛十五分鐘上菜》，且在電視上主持更多無數關於食物和烹飪的特別節目、系列節目。
