James Trevor "Jamie" Oliver MBE FRCGP (Hon) (born 27 May 1975) is a British celebrity chef, restaurateur, media personality, known for his food-focused television shows, cookbooks and more recently his global campaign for better food education. Known in the early days of his career as "The Naked Chef" (after the title of his first BBC TV series), he strives to improve unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits in the United Kingdom and internationally through promoting better food education for children and adults. Jamie's belief is that if people have a greater knowledge of fresh food and cooking then not only can they feed themselves better but also are more likely to be able to recognise what's a treat food-wise and what's for every day.

Early life

Jamie Oliver was born and brought up in the village of Clavering. His parents ran - and still run - a pub/restaurant, "The Cricketers", where Jamie used to practice cooking in the kitchen.[1] He was educated at Newport Free Grammar School. In 2009 Oliver stated that he was of partial Sudanese ancestry via his great-great grandfather John, whom he described as "a bit swarthy".[2] However, research for the Sunday Express established that John's father Peter was a hatter from Penzance, Cornwall, and that James' father Richard was also Cornish, leaving little or no possibility of a Sudanese connection. The family legend of Sudanese ancestry may have originated in the 19th century when John Oliver returned from sea, possibly with a tanned complexion after visiting Africa.[3]

Oliver left school at age sixteen with two GCSE qualifications in Art and Geology.[4] and went on to attend Westminster Kingsway College, formerly Westminster College.[1][5] He then earned a City & Guilds National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in home economics.

Career

Oliver cooking at one of the Scandic Hotels (2014)

His first job was a pastry chef at Antonio Carluccio's Neal's Yard restaurant, where he first gained experience with preparing Italian cuisine, and developed a relationship with his mentor Gennaro Contaldo. Later in his career, Oliver employed Contaldo to help run his successful collection of high street restaurants, Jamie's Italian.[5] Oliver then moved to The River Café, Fulham, as a sous chef.

It was there that he was noticed by the BBC in 1997 after making an unscripted appearance in a documentary about the restaurant, "Christmas at the River Cafe".[6] That year, his show The Naked Chef debuted and his cookbook became a number one best-seller in the UK.[7] That same year, Oliver was invited to prepare lunch for the Prime Minister of that time, Tony Blair at No. 10 Downing Street.[7]

In 2000, Oliver became the face of the UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's through an endorsement deal worth $2 million a year.[7] After 11 years the partnership between Oliver & Sainsbury's ended amicably. The final television advertisement was for Christmas 2011.[8]

After three series of Naked Chef programmes (The Naked Chef, Return of the Naked Chef and Happy Days with The Naked Chef) for the BBC, Oliver moved to Channel 4 in the UK where his first series was a documentary, Jamie's Kitchen which followed the setting up of Fifteen restaurant in London. The restaurant, in Westland Place, London, continues to train young adults who have a disadvantaged background for careers in the restaurant business.[9] Many graduates of the Fifteen Apprenticeship Programme have gone on to become successful chefs, for example Tim Siadatan, head chef/co-owner at Trullo in North London.

In 2003, he was awarded an MBE.[10]

In 2005, he initiated a campaign originally called "Feed Me Better" in order to move British schoolchildren towards eating healthy foods and cutting out junk food. As a result, the British government also pledged to address the issue. Delving into politics to push for changes in nutrition resulted in people voting him as the "Most Inspiring Political Figure of 2005," according to a Channel 4 News annual viewer poll.[7] The campaign has become global since 2011 and culminates every year with Food Revolution Day, generally held in mid May and encompassing food education events across the world.

His emphasis on cooking fresh, nutritious food continued as he created Jamie's Ministry of Food, a television series where Oliver travelled to inspire everyday people in Rotherham, Yorkshire, to cook healthy meals. Another television series is Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (2010–2011), where he travelled first to Huntington, West Virginia and then to Los Angeles to change the way Americans eat, and address their dependence on fast food.[7]

In 2007 threats against Jamie Oliver's charitable "15 Cornwall" were made by Cornish nationalists.[11]

Oliver's holding company, Jamie Oliver Holdings Ltd., has made enough profit for Oliver to have been listed on The Sunday Times list of richest Britons under 30.[12][13]

In June 2008 he launched a restaurant called Jamie's Italian, his first high-street business venture, in Oxford, England.[14] Jamie's Italian has proved successful and there are now 35 restaurants in the collection.[15] There are also Jamie's Italians in Ireland, Australia, Dubai, Russia and Singapore.

In December 2009, Oliver received the 2010 TED Prize.[16]

In June 2013, Jamie Oliver was inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame.[17]

In January 2013, Oliver started the Food Tube digital TV platform as a means to promote new cooking talent. In June 2014, three of the stars of Food Tube - DJ BBQ, KerryAnn Dunlop (one of the original Fifteen apprentices from 2002) and Cupcake Jemma - published their own cookery books through publisher Penguin Books.

Advertising

From 2000, Oliver was the public face of the Sainsbury's supermarket chain in the UK, appearing on television and radio advertisements and in-store promotional material. The deal earned him an estimated £1.2 million every year although neither Sainsburys nor Oliver ever discussed the exact figure.[18] By 2004, the company had made 65 advertisements with him, but this arrangement has not been without controversy. Oliver was reported to have admitted that he does not use supermarkets, saying “For any chef, supermarkets are like a factory. I buy from specialist growers, organic suppliers and farmers".[19] He was also said to have been criticised by Sainsbury's CEO Justin King when he slammed the "junk" sold by supermarkets that ends up in the lunchboxes of millions of children. King reportedly hit back, saying: "Dictating to people—or unleashing an expletive-filled tirade—is not the way to get engagement."[20]

Oliver also has a line of non-stick pans and cookware for Tefal and has appeared in Australian television commercials for Yalumba wines, using Del Boy's catchphrase of "Lovely Jubbly".[21]

In August 2013, Oliver and Canadian supermarket chain Sobeys announced a partnership in improving nation-wide nutrition and advertising campaigns.[22] In October 2013, Oliver also began working with Australian supermarket chain Woolworths on a series of better nutrition initiatives and advertising campaigns.

Television shows

Year Program Description/Notes
1999-2001 The Naked Chef 3 series plus 3 specials
Oliver's first series. The title was a reference to the simplicity of Oliver's recipes and has nothing to do with nudity. Oliver has frequently admitted that he was not entirely happy with the title, which was devised by producer Patricia Llewellyn.
In the UK edit of the show, the opening titles include a clip of him telling an unseen questioner, "No way! It's not me, it's the food!"
The success of the programme led to the books "The Naked Chef" (1999) Return of the Naked Chef (2000) and Happy Days with the Naked Chef (2001).

Tony Blair acknowledged that this was a result of Oliver's campaign. Following the success of the campaign, Oliver was named "Most Inspiring Political Figure of 2005" in the Channel 4 Political Awards 2006. In episode 2 of Jamie's School Dinners, Oliver's Fifteen London restaurant was visited by former US President Bill Clinton.

Other television appearances

Oliver has twice guest-hosted Channel 4's The Friday Night Project.

He has also made two appearances in the "Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car" segment of BBC Two's Top Gear. In his first appearance he attempted to make a green salad in the back of his Volkswagen Microbus, which was fitted with a Porsche engine, while the Stig drove it around the Top Gear test track.

Oliver is the second British celebrity chef (after Robert Irvine) to appear as a challenger on Iron Chef America, taking on Iron Chef Mario Batali in 2008 in a losing battle with cobia as the theme ingredient.[41]

He starred as one of the judges in the 2008 US series Oprah's Big Give hosted by Oprah Winfrey on ABC (America).

He guest starred as himself in the "Meatloaf Surprise" episode of Phineas and Ferb.

In 2012, Oliver appeared during Week 6 of the series on MasterChef Australia as the celebrity chef in the show's Immunity Challenge 5. Showcasing his skills, Oliver's board plate scored higher than the three contestants he was up against (all three judges scored Oliver a 9/10), thus preventing them from earning an Immunity Pin.

The Happy Days Live tour was Oliver's first live show in 2001 and included several dates in the UK and Australasia.[42] Performing to sold-out venues, he cooked on stage and interacted with the audiences with competitions, music and special effects only usually seen in pop concerts.[43] He took the audiences by surprise by singing and drumming to a song called Lamb Curry written by his longtime friend Leigh Haggerwood. Oliver took to the road once more in 2006 on an Australian tour where he performed in Sydney and Melbourne. Following the entertaining format of his first live show, the 2006 Australian tour featuring special guests including mentor Gennaro Contaldo, and students from Fifteen London. Oliver also performed a new song written by Leigh Haggerwood called Fish Stew which Oliver cooked to and also drummed along to at the end of the show. The shows were considered by some to be a great success and are featured in a one-off TV documentary called Jamie Oliver: Australian Diary.[44]

Controversy

In 2005, Oliver was widely criticised by animal rights groups for slaughtering a fully conscious lamb on his TV show, while PETA praised Oliver for showing the killing uncensored, claiming that it highlighted problems with the methods used within slaughterhouses for viewers at home.[45] PETA spokesman Sean Gifford said that it "could turn the more diehard carnivore into a vegetarian".[45] British TV regulator Ofcom reported they had seven complaints from the public.[45]

Jamie Oliver in Toronto 2010

Oliver has been known for his comments about other chefs and has spoken out against Marco Pierre White, who has been critical of Oliver in the past, and the notorious swearing of Gordon Ramsay.[46]

In 2005, Oliver embarked upon his school dinners campaign to improve the quality of food fed to pupils. While the campaign was arguably successful,[47] at the time it was a highly controversial shake-up for students and parents, some of whom believed that the students should have a healthy option available, but still be given the choice as to what they want to eat. In September 2006, Rawmarsh Community School, South Yorkshire, made headlines after a handful of parents including Julie Critchlow revolted against Oliver's nutritious lunch plan by delivering junk food from local shops to the pupils through the school fence. One parent dismissed Oliver's food as "disgusting rubbish" and declared, "Food is cheaper and better at the local takeaways".[48] However, during the Jamie's Ministry of Food series, Oliver made friends with Julie Critchlow who revealed that she largely supported the nutritious school meals, and herself often cooked from fresh ingredients, but that her children were coming home hungry owing to the length of the queues for school lunch.

In 2011, Oliver, an advocate of cooking meals from scratch and using local produce, caused controversy after it turned out the sauces used in Jamie's Italian in Glasgow were from an industrial park almost 400 miles away in Bicester.[49] That same year, Oliver came under fire for lack of food safety protections in his restaurants and illnesses associated with under-cooking mince meat that may have been contaminated with E. coli.[50]

In 2014 Oliver's central London butchery Barbecoa was voluntarily closed for 24 hours after hygiene inspectors gave it the second lowest rating. The Times reported they had found mouse droppings, mouldy carcasses and out-of-date meat.[51][52]

Oliver and Gordon Ramsay are spokeschefs for the "Big Fish Fight", which campaigns for sustainable seafood, but were criticised for their use of endangered fish.[53]

Charity and campaigning

Oliver conceived and established the Fifteen charity restaurant, where he trained disadvantaged young people to work in the hospitality industry. Following the success of the original restaurant in London, more Fifteens have opened around the globe: Fifteen Amsterdam opened in December 2004, Fifteen Cornwall in Newquay in May 2006 and Fifteen Melbourne in September 2006 with Australian friend and fellow chef Tobie Puttock.[54] Fifteen Melbourne has since closed.

Oliver then began a formal campaign to ban unhealthy food in British schools and to get children eating nutritious food instead. Oliver's efforts to bring radical change to the school meals system, chronicled in the series Jamie's School Dinners, challenged the junk-food culture by showing schools they could serve healthy, cost-efficient meals that kids enjoyed eating.[55] Jamie's efforts brought the subject of school dinners to the political forefront and changed the types of food served in schools.[56] In 2012, after supporting Scottish primary school blogger Martha Payne in her NeverSeconds blog,[57] Oliver attacked education secretary Michael Gove for failing to adhere to the standards agreed to by the previous administration.

Oliver's Ministry of Food campaign began in 2008 with the Channel 4 series of the same name and the opening of the first Ministry of Food Centre in Rotherham. More MoF Centres have since opened in Bradford, Leeds, Newcastle/North-East, Stratford (now known as Food Academy) and Alnwick. In addition, and thanks in part to generous donations from retail chain The Good Guys, Ministry of Food Centres and trucks have opened in Australia in Ipswich near Brisbane and Geelong, Melbourne. State governments in Australia have also provided valuable funding for these Centres.

In December 2009, Oliver was awarded the 2010 TED Prize for his campaigns to "create change on both the individual and governmental levels" in order to "bring attention to the changes that the English, and now Americans, need to make in their lifestyles and diet."[16]

In 2010, Oliver joined several other celebrity chefs on the series The Big Fish Fight, in which Oliver and fellow chefs Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Gordon Ramsay made a variety of programmes to raise awareness about the discarding of hundreds of thousands of saltwater fish because the fishermen are prohibited from keeping any fish other than the stated target of the trawl.[58]

Oliver is a patron of environmental charity Trees for Cities.[59]

Awards and honours

In June 2003, Oliver was awarded the MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours. A proponent of fresh organic foods, Oliver was named the most influential person in the UK hospitality industry when he topped the inaugural Caterersearch.com 100 in May 2005.[60] The list placed Oliver higher than Sir Francis Mackay, the then-chairman of the contract catering giant Compass Group, which Oliver had soundly criticised in Jamie's School Dinners. In 2006, Oliver dropped to second on the list behind fellow celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.[61] In July 2010, Jamie regained the top spot and has been named as the most powerful and influential person in the UK hospitality industry once again.[62]

In 2012, Oliver was honored by Harvard School of Public Health with the Healthy Cup Award for his substantial achievements in working to end the childhood obesity epidemic and in recognition of his campaigning to provide schoolchildren in the U.S. and U.K. with whole, freshly cooked food and inspiring millions of people around the world to become passionate about preparing delicious meals from scratch.The Healthy Cup Award is presented by Harvard School of Public Health’s Nutrition Round Table, a group that helps to bridge the gap between scientific advances and sustainable changes in food policy, practices, and products, with a focus on obesity, healthy lifestyles, global nutrition, and chronic diseases. Members include scientific experts, business leaders, restaurateurs, health educators and health care providers, writers, doctors, philanthropists, and concerned citizens.

In 2013 Oliver was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal College of General Practitioners for his work in tackling childhood obesity by improving the nutritional value of school dinners.[63]

Personal life

In July 2000, Oliver married Juliette Norton.[64] The couple met in 1993 and have four children: Poppy Honey Rosie Oliver (born 18 March 2002), Daisy Boo Pamela Oliver (born on 10 April 2003), Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver (born on 3 April 2009)[65] and Buddy Bear Oliver (born on 15 September 2010).[66] Oliver announced the births of the two youngest children on Twitter.[67][68] The family lives in Clavering, Essex.[69]

Oliver has dyslexia, and read his first novel (Catching Fire) in 2013, at the age of 38.[70]
