Jamie Oliver
Did you know?
The day after appearing in a documentary about The River Cafe, Jamie got calls from five production companies wanting to talk to him about a show of his own. At first, he thought it was his mates playing a prank.
Jamie Oliver grew up in his parents' country pub in Essex, England, where he started cooking at the age of eight and has since worked with some of the world's top chefs. After attending catering college and studying in France, Jamie worked at The Neal Street Restaurant in London as the pastry chef before joining the staff of London’s famed River Café, where he worked for three and a half years before filming his first television program, The Naked Chef about a young Brit who stripped food to its bare essentials.
Jamie has starred in five television series and today owns Fifteen and Jamie’s Italian, two restaurants with multiple locations in London and elsewhere around the world. He has also written a number of top-selling cookbooks. Jamie's Fifteen Foundation provides training and mentoring for disadvantaged young people and now has programs and restaurants in London, Cornwall, Amsterdam, and Melbourne.
Jamie lives in London with his wife, Jools, and their daughters, Poppy and Daisy.
