Jamie Oliver, the British cook known as the “Naked Chef,” is noted for his easygoing style on television shows and in cookbooks. He explains that it’s the recipes that are stripped-down – not the chef.
Now his early books, “The Naked Chef,” first published in 2000, and “The Naked Chef Takes Off” are available in paperback.
Books are available at local bookstores and at www.amazon.com.
Keep the grill clean
As the summer winds down, many will jump at the opportunity to make the most of grilling before it’s too late.
To avoid greasy, food-crusted grates, try disposable grill liners by Clean BBQ. Simply place the grill liner over the grill bars, barbecue and throw away the used liner.
A package of 20 is $17.95 at www.cleanbbq.com.
Family Day dinner
Created by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse in 2001, “Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children” is a national effort to promote family dinners as an effective way to reduce substance abuse among children and teens. Sit down to dinner on Monday with your family.
Family Day, celebrated the fourth Monday of each September, promotes regular family activities.
