"“I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes, that binds us to the best bits of life.” - JAMIE OLIVER

Jamie Oliver's passion for cooking began at just eight years old in his parents' pub, The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex. After leaving school, he embarked on a culinary career that led him to the esteemed River Café, where he was discovered by a television producer, marking the start of The Naked Chef and his rise to global fame.

Over his 25-year television and publishing career, Jamie has sold over 50 million books worldwide, and his TV series are watched by millions around the globe. He has inspired a generation to cook fresh, delicious meals from scratch, publishing 28 best-selling cookbooks, each paired with a successful TV show. Recently, Jamie expanded his influence to young readers with his children's book series, Billy & The Giant Adventure, encouraging children to connect with food and nature.

Jamie’s commitment extends beyond the kitchen. As a proud B Corp, his mission is to educate and inspire people to make healthier, more sustainable food choices. From media and restaurants to partnerships and the Ministry of Food, every facet of his diverse business works toward making it easier for people to enjoy better, healthier, and more joyful meals.

Through his campaigns team and collaboration with the youth movement BiteBack, Jamie is determined to empower more people to experience the joys of cooking and eating nutritious, sustainable meals. His company-wide goal is to create a happier, healthier world by using food as a catalyst for positive change, ensuring fair and accessible nutrition for all.
