He was the “naked chef” chef before the cooking programs flourished and brought millions of people into the kitchen. His recipe: no hood, but charming chaos, nonchalance and lots of olive oil. Now his 50th birthday is around the corner. An overview of many heights, but also depths.

In his BBC show “The Naked Chef” he broke herbs, picked lettuce leaves and pushed an opened Hendl into the oven as if it were the most natural in the world. At the time, nobody had any idea that this type would make a cultural change with a T-shirt and a broad grin.
