Jamie Oliver
(Presenter)
Born:
May 27, 1975
in
Clavering, Essex
Best Known For:
Making school dinners healthy.
Early-life:
Born James Trevor Oliver on May 27, 1975, in Essex. He comes from a close-knit family and has described his childhood as very happy. His parents own a pub-restaurant in Clavering and Jamie helped out in the kitchen from a young age under the watchful eye of his dad Trevor, who encouraged him to become a chef. He studied cooking at Westminster College and then won an apprenticeship at the Neal Street Restaurant in London. He went on to work at the River Cafe for three and a half years.
Career:
Oliver's first foray into TV was the 1999 BBC series The Naked Chef. In 2002, he started a new, non-profit restaurant, 15, which would be staffed by previously unemployed youngsters whom he had trained. This project was documented in the Channel 4 TV series, Jamie's Chef. He followed it with Jamie's School Dinners, which inspired him to begin a campaign to improve Britain's school meals. He took it to the top and famously met Tony Blair to discuss the subject, which resulted in the former prime minister pledging to spend £280m on school dinners over the next three years. He has continued to produce a variety of popular cookery programmes, and has successfully cracked the American market.
Quote:
'For me, cooking is like breathing. I don't eat to live, I live to eat.'
Trivia:
In 2013, Oliver was inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame.
