Jamie Oliver
Jamie Oliver is a world-renowned British chef who gained most of his fame from his television shows ‘The Naked Chef’ (1999) and ‘Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution’ (2010-2011). He is also a published author of several cookbooks with his own line of cooking ware.
Oliver’s passion for cooking was ignited during the time when his parents used to own a pub-restaurant in Essex and young Jamie would persistently ask the chefs to let him help out. They finally accepted his help in the kitchen and at the age of sixteen, Jamie Oliver started studying at the Westminster Catering College before continuing his studies and training in France. His career then kicked off with his first job as Head Pastry Chef at the Neal Street restaurant in London and, soon after, Sous Chef at the River Café where he started to get comfortable in front of a camera. Jamie Oliver featured in a documentary which was being filmed at this River Café where his potential was recognised by a production company which ended up hosting his first television series ‘The Naked Chef’. This programme featured Jamie Oliver’s ways of simplifying food preparation by using common ingredients and simple cooking techniques.
By way of giving back to the community, in 2002, Jamie Oliver started the Fifteen Foundation in London which gave underprivileged youths the opportunity to gain work experience in the culinary industry at the Chef’s own Fifteen restaurant. In 2005, he also kickstarted the campaign ‘Feed Me Better’ which encouraged British students to eat healthier substitutes for junk food, gaining the support of the British government.
