Jamie Oliver 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 Café, where he was famously spotted by a television production company.

His television and publishing career began in 1999 with The Naked Chef series. Since then he has set up Fifteen restaurant in London, changed school dinners in the UK and revolutionized home cooking. His charity, The Jamie Oliver Foundation, seeks to improve people’s lives through food. It operates the Fifteen restaurants, which train disengaged young people for a career in the catering industry, and the Ministry of Food centres, which provide places for people to learn basic cooking skills. Jamie has also created Home Cooking Skills, a BTEC course for secondary schools, and the Kitchen Garden Project, a new food education programme for primary school children.

His successful businesses include the group of Jamie’s Italian and Union Jacks restaurants, and ranges of food and non-food products.

He writes for publications in the UK and around the world, including his own Jamie Magazine. Jamie lives in London and Essex with his wife Jools and their children.
