Does this guy EVER wash his hands? He didn't after coming in from playing basketball with his pal. I would never eat in one of his restaurants as his food safety practices are atrocious! K
Consumer reports actually gave very high marks to his cookbooks for accuracy. It was surprising to read about how many best-selling cookbooks have recipes that are far from correct. Not to mention, I would assume they would edit out the boring stuff like hand-washing.

I've got one of his cookbooks, and it's served me well. His new restaurant in London is supposed to be very good, from what I've heard.
His has the right idea that you can make good dishes simple and easy, but he's such an annoying little mockney geezer I can't bear to watch him. The premise of Oliver's Twist is him saying "If you pretend to be my friend for an hour I'll cook you a really nice dinner."
I have no problem pretending to be someone's friend if they will cook me a good meal and have beer in their fridge all the time. I like him for these reasons.
