Jamie Oliver's Book

[RCP]

Has anyone received a copy of Naked Chef 2 via e-mail as a word document (allegedly sent out originally by someone from the publishers to a friend) and if so, is it the real thing?

It's a hoax. This 121 page Word doc has been circulating the internet since last week. The spoof was reported by CNN and Reuters on Thurs & Friday of last week.

No it's not the real thing. It's a massive joke. Must be good though if you can't tell whether it's real or not.

Thanks, as you confirmed my suspicion I checked it out a bit further. It turns out they are actually his recipes but from older books. The question is, why would someone bother to go to all the trouble? See http://www.webactivemagazine.co.uk/News/1142595

haven't seen it - anyone know where we can get a copy of it? (out of noseyness)

Apparently it's doing the e-mail rounds so it may not be long before someone clogs up your system with this 121 page document that takes up 4MB of space. Just hope that you don't receive too many copies.

I just received a copy of it this morning. I can't think why!

Mmmm.... mushroom sarnie... I've got the e-mail. Has genuine recipes but I couldn't tell you if they're old or new 'cos I have never entertained the guy. I'm sorry, but I'm not taking recipe tips from a fat-tongued oaf who can sell beans on toast as "Crouton Topped with Haricots Blancs in a Tomato Coulis". What a rip off!!! Now, wear to get those mushrooms...?
