Jamie Oliver is a global phenomenon in food and campaigning. During a 20-year television and publishing career he has inspired millions of people to enjoy cooking from scratch and eating fresh, delicious food. Through his organization, Jamie is leading the charge on a global food revolution, aiming to reduce childhood obesity and improve everyone's health and happiness through food.Jamie started cooking at his parents' pub, The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex, at the age of eight. After leaving school he began a career as a chef that took him to the River Cafe, where he was famously spotted by a television production company and the Naked Chef was born.He has now published 22 bestselling cookery books, all with accompanying TV shows. Jamie lives in London and Essex with his wife Jools and their children.

The No 1 bestseller This book was inspired by a big idea (and a bit of a mad one): to train a team of disadvantaged kids to become chefs and help them open a top-notch restaurant in London. Against the odds, it worked! We all learned a lot, especially me, and Fifteen is still going strong - we're still taking on a new group of kids every year and three more Fifteens have opened around the globe. All the inspiration, excitement and enthusiasm we felt that year is in this book, and I hope some of it rubs off on you. The focus of Jamie's Kitchen is on different cooking techniques and step-by-step guides. It introduces cooking 'in the bag' and Asian-style cooking. My favourite recipe from this book, though, is my new best salad, with grapes, tarragon and salty cheese. Incredible.
