Don't miss new property show, Phil Spencer Secret Agent, only on LifeStyle this month.
Luke Van Dyck has fixes for large tree roots, drainage issues and more.
Restaurants and cooking are in Jamie Oliver's blood, having grown up around the successful pub/restaurant owned and operated by his parents in Cambridge, England. At 8 years old, Jamie was peeling potatoes and podding peas with the rest of The Cricketers staff and by 11, he could julienne vegetables as fast as any of them. At 16, Jamie completed his formal training at Westminster Catering College.
A fresh face in the culinary world, Jamie Oliver began work at the critically acclaimed River Cafe in London for three years. After appearing on television as part of a documentary on the River Cafe, Jamie was called the next morning by five of the top production companies in England. Jamie went with Optomen Television to produce the first series of the enormously successful Naked Chef. He has since gone on to produce Oliver's Twist and multiple specials.
In addition to his TV shows in Britian and America, Jamie has writen the bestselling The Naked Chef (Hyperion), The Naked Chef Takes Off, Happy Days, and Jamie's Kitchen. He's also food editor for British GQ magazine, a columnist with the Saturday Times Magazine, and monthly food editor for Marie Claire magazine in the UK.
Now 27, Jamie continues his work as consultant chef at Monte's, an advisor for top British supermarket chain Sainsbury's, and design consultant for quality cook and tableware for Royal Worcester. In 2001, Jamie took his live cookery show on the road: His Happy Days Tour packed theatres in Cambridge, Bournemouth and London as well as in seven cities in Australia and New Zealand. Jamie's cooking is even in demand by the British government: In 1999, Jamie was invited to 10 Downing Street to prepare a lunch for the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who was entertaining the Italian Prime Minister.
Most recently Jamie opened a not-for-profit restaurant, Fifteen, with the goal of training young unemployeds to work in the kitchen and on the floor. The London restaurant has become a hit.
Jamie's passions are pasta and breadmaking. He still travels through London on motorbike and plays drums with his high school mates in the band Scarlet Division, whose sound Jamie likens to a mixture of "Catatonia and Texas with a harder edge."
Jamie married his childhood sweetheart, Jools, in 2000. They live in London with their daughters Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo.

One of my favourite chefs!
Jamies Christmas gravy is to die for
Jamie is great 'His food is fresh always simple methods that anyone can cook.
I like Jamie Oliver's use of fresh ingredients with simple methods. His recipes always turn out great. One of the best books is return of the Naked Chef and Jamie's Italy..... nothing better
He is an AMAZING chef ! guys i need a bit of help, i have to do a food tech assignment for school and we had to choose a chef, and i chose Jamie Oliver & one of the questions is : Explain where does your designer get their inspiration, and i dont know how to answer it, please help <3
Jamie you rock. i love the way you are concerned with taste!! most chef's i've eaten from serve dishes that are appealing to the eye but are often quite bland to the palet. your welcome at my table (and kitchen) any day my friend! Keep it up!! Ben
I feel so sorry for poor Jamie. He is doing his best in the US to get the kids to eat more healthy, but is alway hit by a brick wall. I think that those people on that committee are just stupid old farts and should be booted off and replaced with younger people who have more understanding with the situation. Good for you Jamie for not giving up and I hope you will get your message through soon. I think that you are great and keep up the good work.
is.good

jamie oliver is a joke and full of himself
I really want your recipes from your most recent show - i taped it but my husband accidentally deleted it. It's the 30 minute meal - awesome potato bake, mustard chicken, spinach and affogato dessert. Can you tell me where to find the recipes!! asap. Kerry
HI Jamie, I have watched many cooking shows and different chefs creating and teaching. Many are good but I love the way you make cooking so much fun and keep it simple yet reeeelly tasty. I also like the way you prepare and presnt your food. Very user friendly and unpretencious yet still classy. At the ripe old age of 53, I've just started my own small catering business. I want to keep it simple fresh and tatsy. You continue to inspire me and many others!! Keep on going please!
Jamie is my Hero! He is so talented and dedicated to teaching young old and unfortunate people around the world how to cook and better themselves. He gives me inspiration to better my cooking abilities almost everyday!
Well, I think it works totally opposite! Because he is so lovely and his accent is of course, fantastic! I like cooking and everyone thinks I am a good cook! But still, I believe Jamie is very smart and he knows how to mix things and make something delicious and good looking! So, keep on cooking and talking on TV, I am one of your followers dude.
Love your shows I watch everyone I can could you please give me a few hints for the good old aussie chop? I need something with a bit of zing, I am sick of cooking them on the barby so please help. I love your spag bol you did on the tele.
Love ya Jamie and your recipies, but quit it with all the olive oil lately, are you on commission with the olive oil companies or what???
Jamie is an outstanding chef! He's a culinary genius, an inspirational icon who combines food, art and fun that extremely reach the heart of us food lovers. Two thumbs up man! ;D
Love your bit, I love my food as well, wish I had a garden like his though, great cook Jamie.
I tried to buy Jamie's new recipe book called Jamie's 30 Minute Recipes, but I can't get it any where as of yet. It must be very popular over here. I have been watching his show on TV and he makes a lot of nice things and I would really love to buy his book, at the moment I can't get it. They have all his other books, but not that one. Hopefully soon it will be available again.
You can buy or order it at Angus and Robinson, it can also be ordered on A&R online. Great website for cheap books is fishpond.com. I have got the book and I think it is one of his best and I have most of them. Good Luck!
I have also been trying to buy that book as it looks like a good one. I ended up having to order it from the UK and it actually worked out to be a lot cheaper than what I would have had to pay for it here.
jamie, when i see u taste yr meals on tv, u just open my appetite!! U truly love cooking and one can tell u do it with all yr soul Good on u mate love watching yr shows and cooking yr meals!! Best of luck!!
Hi jamie Oliver, I my ten year's old and you have inspired me to cook and I have cooked tea tonight. I am making my own recipe book and I have made a recipe it is caled spider's grave. bye .
Hi Jamie I've lived in England, Australia and Canada and I have to say that your cooking transcends borders. I still have two of your cookbooks that i bought in Hampshire - the salads are brilliant here in Australia. I enjoy your show, I enjoy your approach to cooking. It all makes me happy.
I really LOVE your cooking Jamie; particularly your Cook Books - I've bought them for my First Grand-daughter, who also loves them! I particularly love your courage to try to change the way people THINK, as it's not easy. You make a good role model for the young ones, but not only them, as the older ones are also fascinated in how to make healthy food popular and simple for their Grandchildren so that they'll have a GO. You're very inspirational in your creativity and commitment. Thank-you Jamie!
I really enjoyed Jamie's Christmas special and he made a lot of nice things. The only thing is I live in Australia and Christmas falls in Summer here so Christmas can get very hot here at times. When it gets too hot we either have cold meats, seafood and salad or we have a BBQ.
I am from Melbourne & have watched Jamie`s cooking shows for years way before anyone knew who he was and back then i could not find his cooking books anywhere. He has come a long way and he has all so opened up many doors for all the chefs that are around today. GOOD LUCK JAMIE
Great combinations. Pomegrant salad a dream. Great TV show, but please ,please scrub your finger nails and get a manicure. In real life I'm sure they are washed, but on TV everything is magnifoed and your hands are always close to the food and need to be spotless otherwise it detracts from what you are doing.
hi jamie like many otheres i love watching you cook. thank you for being in my home on the tv. if any one has any idea of how to get a 15 year old to eat meat and veg that has autisum would lv the help. go jamie
Keep up the good work! Love watching you create in the kitchen. My team and I feed the homeless on the Gold Coast and your recipes are easy to follow and delicious :0)
Jamie, u've inspired me to cook...man, learnt a lot!!! Thank you...keep it up!!!
hi oliver, I dont speak inglish I am from Guatemala, but I like your tv show a lot of, ( bueno quiero decir muchisimo) I see you some times in fox life and I like ( como tu cocinas, pienso que la forma en que lo haces es bien sencilla para entenderla hasta nosotras las amas de casa, te felicito, me encanta tu entusiamo, tu forma de explicar las cosas, para mi eres un gran cheff. uno de los mejores.
I like watching Jamie Oliver as well and he has taught a lot of people to eat more healthy kinds of foods. He has even taught the Cookie Monster to eat more healthier. Jamie is a very good example to young kids and to show them how to eat more healthy foods and not to eat a lot of rubbish.
Hi Jamie, thank you for so many fantastic recipe ideas.... You're a breath of fresh air in our home and we love all your programs. Love and hugs from Sunny South Africa (Pinetown)
I like watching Jamie Olivier
On holidays in Bath(UK) last month went to Jamie's Italian Restaurant, food was wonderful, service was great. Highly recommend. Also in Clappton bought some take home food, meatballs, yum yum.
hi jamie..im rodel from the philippines..i like wacthing ur tv show.. n i loved cooking very much! gud luck to your show jamie..
I just finished watching Jamie's new show called Jamie Does and I thought that it was great. I am hoping that it will be released on DVD soon as I am going to buy it to add to my collection as I have got a few of his DVDs already. His cooking is very rustic and it looks very nice as well.
I agree with KV8, Jamies is down to earth and passionate about both food and people he is an inspiration and the world woud be a better place if there were more people like him in it.
I'm Brazil and watch Jamie Oliver by paid tv! I love the program and innovative recipes! Congratulations!
I like watching Jamie Oliver. I like the way he explains the things he is doing.
I like watching Jamie Oliver. I like the way he explain, the things he is doing.
i am afia
Hi my name is jakan heijn and im 12 and love love love cooking can you be a fan of my pliz think you.
what
hay im doing a project and i need more info on Jamie Oliver hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp
are there any sites where i can get more info on jamie oliver, i cant find anything HELP ()
Yeah I am an Aussie also and have just watched the first episode ( pizza for breakfast i mean to say they are kids not drunks after a nite on the turps)Good on ya Mona I had a look at your site but I can only read English.Keep looking after those kids Jamie.
I too have been watching that food revolution show in the U.S and I am also shocked that the kids didn't know what vegetables were as well. He held up a bunch of tomatoes and this kid didn't even know what they were. Sometimes I feel that he is flogging a dead horse trying to get these people to eat healthy as they were bought up on junk food so no wonder there are a lot of people who are overweight. Some of them don't even want to try it. I was bought up on fresh food and veggies and I only eat junk food on a very rare occasion. Hopefully he will finally be able to get through to them and they will see the light and eat more healthy.
Hi i was just watching food revolution U.S i am shocked at how these kids have no idea what fresh food is i am encouraging my daughter who is 9 months to come out on our varandah where we grow vegies, herbs and fruit she has a play and she picks all the fresh herbs, veg and fruit some of which she doesnt like raw but she has fun i cook from scratch most of the time and she watches me cook she loves it i just want her to be healthy and happy i have always loved watching Jamie cooking on the telly and food revolution is great my friend and i are opening our own family child care centre and i think that to have the kids learning about great healthy foods would be fun i wanna commend Jamie he is doing a great job he is doing what he can to help us all be healthy and he always has me excited about great food GO JAMIE YOU ROCK!!!
My name is Kelly Cuthill my email is kellycuthill@bigpond.com I am trying to push the healthy eating with in my small community at Wallaroo South Australia. Currently I cook at the kindergarten and would like to move it to the school as i hate watching children open packets of rubbish for their lunch. Do you have some hints on encouraging the children to try the food and some easy childrens recipes.
Jamie, come to Montreal. We simply love you. Keep Rockin
i love your food jamie oliver
can someone tell me how to get that smokey flavour in hamburgers,, someone told me you mix tomato sauce into the mice .Please helpppp:)
When you cook them on the BBQ, close the lid down as that too will put the smoky flavour into your burgers as well.
Also, try cooking them on a BBQ as that can also put in the smokey flavours as well.
I hope you mean mince and not mice. You could try some BBQ sauce or check out your local supermarket to see if they have any smoky BBQ sauce or you could try a pinch of smoky papprika to see if that works as well.
Love the way jamie cooks (:
Jamie you are only after the money please stay in your kitchen and create not on tv,pathetic?
I agree, Jamie has done a lot for people and has taught them to eat more healthy kinds of food.
You are such a loser!!! Tell us all what you have done for the world and how you have contributed to raising awareness to young people and families about health and eating real organic food as opposed to processed ... that we are led to believe is food. Also, Have you inspired any young people and got them from homeless to hopefull???
love jamie!!
that lady is out of her mind... you ugly... dont think so. You've got it all. But most importantly. the right attitude to cooking... Its fun and healthy, if you want it to be.
Nice guy, but don't like the recipes of his I've tried so far. I'm sure there'll be some good ones though - you don't get where he is if youre total ...!
I live in Australia and we have just had a full month of Jamie here on Foxtel, I have not missed an episode of the whole month, if I couldn't watch it I recorded it. Both my husband and I think Jamie is a wonderful chef, when my 2 children were growing up they never knew what junk food was, as even though I worked fulltime when they were little I always made sure they had healthy meals, so it is wonderful to see that Jamie is helping others to see the benefits of healthy eating, here in Australia we have such an obese problem that it is so good to see someone trying to help people see what eating healthy is like, keep up the good worg Jamie, we have just heard here that your wife is pregnant again congratulations to you both and keep up the good work that you do. All the best to you and your family from a very big fan from down under Nerroli
oh and one thing, Jamie your a hottie......
Jamie you are so one of the best, oh wat am i talking about, you are my favourite chef... i have been a fan of yours since i was ten..... i watch your show every morning... your just so talented.....im so speec less....xxx and has for the bad mouthed cappsicum on the top, who wrote you that comment, that was just not nice at all..... Dont let that cappsicum take you down, he or she should watch themselves first before thinking about abuseing someone else, anyways, i wish to meet you one day, xxxx
I think it was appalling how that radio announcer treated Jamie! Keep up the great work Jamie! Don't get down on yourself. Don't ever doubt for a second that you aren't doing great things. There are not enough people in this world that want to give their children good healthy food. I'm a single mother who works full-time with two children. My son is 10 yrs. old & my daughter is 7 yrs. old. From day one I've always tried to teach them about the importance of nutrition. When I was with my husband I used to get opposition from him and from his father & stepmother. I stood up to them & asked them not to give my toddler junk food. They didn't like it but I didn't care. Now today that same toddler, which is my oldest child, eats healthy food & enjoys it. He likes the odd treat but generally he eats well for his age. I always strive to make them a variety of foods in their lunch & always try to cook with real food for supper. I try not to buy already packaged/processed foods that are "quick". My kids love fruit & vegetables. My son eats bran flakes, vegetable juice, he's even tried prunes, he loves fish & the list goes on. I'm proud I made a stand when they were young even with opposition. Please, please Jamie keep up your awesome work with those children. Even if the adults don't get it, the children will!
u r just envious of jamie and his amazing cooking ability!
I think jamie is a gr8 cook,hes got a gr8 sense of umour n a good bloke.so keep he negative comments to urselves negative people.

I would not miss Jamie's TV show for the world. His recipes are what we like to eat and his directions are wonderful. A nice young man as well.
Jamie can tend my garden & cook in my kitchen anyday!
I like his down to earth and easy recipes easy to do and not over compulicated
jamie is a creative persone he loves his work , food is all about love & passion & Metal also :P if u don`t have thoes don`t try to cook !!! Jamie u Rock keep it up !! :D
Jamie Oliver is awesome, I love his recipes and his presentation of food, it's so rustic looking. I could watch him cook all day. He's certainly the best celebrity chef I have seen.
I like Jamie Oliver and I think that he makes a lot of nice dishs. The only is, when he tastes he food, I wish he would use a spoon instead of dipping his fingers in to try it as that is so unhealthy. I have also noticed that on some of his latest shows, he is starting to drop the F word at times. Leave that kind of language to Gordon Ramsay as I think that it suits him the best. Jamie is a bit like the boy next door so please try not to be a copy cat but keep up the good work and i will look forward to more of your shows in the near future.
Jamie is gifted, he was way ahead of his time at 18 cooking and presenting with such passion, love and a desire to share his gift with anyone and everyone. There's nothing fake about him, he hasn't changed just grown in life and his profession, hope to see Jamie on TV for years to come!!
I like the way jamie cooks and i have his cookbooks and some of the food he cooks my kids like it.
Thanks, Jamie, for inspiring the young (and the not so young!) to prepare healthy nutritious food that is always a delight to prepare & share. Love all yr shows, esp. the work you do with the kids. You're a gem!
It's coming up to 13 years since I first was inspired by your personal style and you continue to intrigue us!!!!
hi jamie! i love you show 'jamie at home' it so coool! i want to have a veggie patch just like you wen i grow up! my dream is to become a pastry chef i already cook some sweets for the family. i love your show jamie keep cooking your the best ....catch:)
I have been watching you on Tv for some time now and I just love what you cook. and how you help the young people learnto know all about the vegetables and fruit. I give you 5 stars.
Mary Jamie I love your cooking, shows & books, I just wish that we could have some new shows to watch here in South Africa, I think I must almost know the others by rote by now. From a huge fan thanks!!!!
Jamie I love your cooking. Great receipes. Hope I could cook like you one day Jamie!!! Champa T
hi jamies i am mona from iran i techer cooking i like you www.monapourdaryaei.com
I commented on Jamie and some of his colleague celebrity chefs in the following blog post:
http://stephencoates.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/why-do-recipes-invariable-serve-four
The sooner he and the other chefs wake up to real world cooking, the better, for all of us
Jamie Your show got me cooking for the whole family-thank you
My father loves you J!!! Which is funny to me !!!...my dad's a good cook and grew up on land, so I guess they have that in common ; their love of food and growing their own produce. Thanks Jamie for even teaching my father a thing or two :-)
Nice to read some of the above comments, it's a bit late but congratulations nonetheless on the arrival of your third daughter, you do know that you are the one that determines the sex of your children not jools. I'm still enjoying all of your books and have tried most recipes, my friends love to come for dinner to see which Jamie Oliver meal they are going to get next, i know, i know, i should be makikng up my own ideas but hey, why mess with the tried and true ones. We are hoping to get over to England in the Summer of next year and i hope that we get the chance to come to Fifteen for a meal. Much love and RESPECT to you and yours. Kath B, Melbourne Victoria, Australia :)
jamie oliver is the best chef i've ever seen, hes polite, cute, funny, and doesn't swear every 2 seconds like gordon ramsy
you all have serious probs!!!!!!!!!!!!! get a life. im at school looking for info on him cause im in food tech. u all need to grow up n get a life. far out. hes awsome but if u dont like him then dont go on his site n dont ay any attention to him.... losers
here! here! the funny thing is we are in the same situation!
OMG! I cant believe it Nigella Lawson has more fans than Jamie! Well you two are personally both my favourite chefs, you both cook from the heart, with a real passion and appreciation for food. And I just adore your scooter, so much that I'm actually buying a similair one myself, I just love the idea of riding along with a big bunch of celery sticking out of a brown paper bag! :)
I like Oliver promise, I like the way he speaks and most importantly, his accent. More power to you chef Jamie. Uhmwahhhh.....
I love you jamie,you are so down to earth with your personality and your recipe simply and easy to follow.
Last night I made Jamie's Roast chicken stuffed with lemon and garlic which was delicous. I also added some rosemary & thyme. I rubbed the skin with butter and salt and it came up really brown and crispy. Thankyou for the great receipe.
Nice comment. 'Freshing' is almost an adjective. Well done!
if there were more chefs like jamie, we would be healthier our kids would be healthier and a new generation of inspired "foodies" woud grow their own veg. his passion is very freshing.........
jamie you are great you care for kids keep up the good work margaret
You dishies reminded me of the old days at school... keep up the good work
Well Im not the best cook in the world ... but Jamie you are a Superstar ... that comment from that person should be wiped of the list.. I bet she cant even cook... and ugly !!!!
Happy birthday,Jamie!
Refreshing!!!
I love the way jamie cooks indoors and outdoors, he is fantastic. keep up the good cooking jamie.

Jamies Tomato sauce recipe is the bomb the stuff he does in his pizza oven has encouraged me to use mine a lot more. cheers
I simple love this young man,I like the way he explains the thing he is doing,I have known a lot of useful things.I must admit that to watch his programms is a great pleasure for me and my husband.I would like to wish him a lot of sunny days in his rainy and foggy England!!!
I have made your Fantastic Fish Pie so many times now and have added Scallops to it as well. The comments I get are amazing and their is one friend that never stops asking 'when am I going to make it again'. You are amazing and I loved your show on TV in New Zealand last night 25/4/09 when you made a Filo pie with Potatoes, Eggs & Asparagus - I'm going to try that one when they have some in Supermarkets again. Keep on keeping on Jamie - your one in a million!!
love u jamie ur the best we want to say dont stop what ur doin we love ur style xo
I like Jamie not only for his fantastic recipes & passion for food but also for his passion for people & the great thing's he has accomplished. He is so humble & never really let fame go to his head, being a great chef is not only how well you cook or how many restaurants you have under your belt, it is also about staying true to yourself & giving back to others. Jamie does this with such poise & he has never lost himself. That's what makes him stand out to me. Sorry I left a major word out there.
Here, here!!! :)

Rachael Johnson... Jamie would call you a scrubber!... fair comment it would be too from the lad. I have tried many recipes from chefs books and his actually work without too much effort. Jamie's energy is infectious and anything that can get people off the couch and away from the phone for take away and into the kitchen is a legend.
I love the naked chef. I think his way of cooking and presenting the tv show is fantastic!!! Saludos from Venezuela :)
i wanna become like u very very soon but how
your great Jamie. keep it up!
jamie oliver you explain things so easily even a person who has not even looked at a cook book or used an oven or cooked at all would be able to understand your easy recipies. the natural way in which you do things. nothing to fancy or complicated but always using fresh ingredients which makes for good wholessome and tasty food. i watch every show that we get on tv and try to write the recipies down but not i can look them up on lifestyle. may you continue to entertain us for a long time.
Rachael Johnson,O.K.Smart mouth.download some of your recipes,and lets see how good a cook you are!!!.
I reckon Jamie added that comment so he could read all of our positive responses.What do u think?
You have not only inspired me to do LOTS of cooking, but also my grandson. Keep up the good work Jamie, you deserve much happiness for all the happiness that you have brought to all of us. Much love also to your lovely wife Jools and your two daughters. Take care and keep going, I can't believe that there are so many people that you have tried to help that haven't taken advantage of your love and caring. Best wishes ALWAYS. :) Kath Burton, Melbourne Australia

I like watching Jamie oliver alot .I cooked the stuffed chicken I hope to cook more but I dont have the fresh herbs he uses all the time especially thime
Jamie seems to be a caring, generous of heart person, and as to his looks - have you looked in the mirror lately?????? - he is a great chef and has done heaps for the less fortunate and also for the health of our youth. Keep it up Jamie, you are doing a great job.
Jamie u r the reason i started to cook. i am 12 and ur my idol. and rachel ur a *** so *** and dont watch him is you dont like him. hes awsome. keep cooking!
a true talent in the kitchen even my kids love to watch him nice simple easy to follow recpes to cook love all hes shows a great entertainer for all
well rachel it is clear you dont cook. or shold i say enjoy cooking. jamie has talent . he makes you want to cook. there are many other channels so keep away from lifestyle food
What a chef and entertainer - just love your food - and am always trying your recipes which the family love to.
People that only have nasty things to say are a waste of space, and need to wake up, to smell the roses, not their own ***s. Jamie you are a legend, excellence Chef, great inspiration, and wonderful husband/father. Keep up the great work and yummy recipes.
i think you a great cook and entertainer. you make cooking look like its lots of fun
I think jamie has great recipes and I've tried heaps and they are really yummy
must try his banana & blueberry french toast from jamie's dinner yum yummm
Jamie Rules - if you dont think so get out of the kitchen.
i madly love jamie oliver i think he is a harcore chef with amazing talents and recipes he's a champ in my book! :) cheers jamie love your work
WOW!!! I have learnt a great deal from JO and other Chefs and I say thanks to them all for making cooking so much fun. I do think people who diss their food hero, obviously want their few minutes of fame or just can't cook!!!!! But that is only my opinion. Cheers........
i love jamie her as opend my eyes and i love entertaining again and every1 love my food so thank yo jamie
I have been a member of jamie's forums for over four years now. I have learnt many things from the man himself as well as other forum members. I fully support his philosophy and his achievements. He does make cooking simple, fun and a larf. I cook many of his recipes on a regular basis and enjoy his unique style of writing cooking books. they are s much a great read as a source of recipes and cooking tips. Go jamie......you rock :)
Love ya Jamie, never miss a show, have all your books, would love to cook with you one day. Lov to all
jamie is a really good COOK his recipes are yummmmmmmmmmy
been married to a jamie sure does help when i am dreaming about jamie and his cooking heheheheheheheheeh
to the top message " RACHEL"....How dare you? Don't tarnish this site with your RUDE and pathetic insults....all based on looks...you superfficial ***!!! Jamie a bloody great bloke and I for one love what he does, and who he is, and what he has done for so monay ppl!!! And I love his approach to his love and passion to food....his style is unique and I love that about people! cheers to this site..I hope that banned her.....
dont listen to Rachel , she just posted a blog on here to stir things up im sure.
I really like his American pork spare ribs as well as many others, it's really hard to one I perfer the best.
have seen him do this dish. would love it if you could post the recipe for me
I really like his BBQ recipes and many others as well. But his marinated pork spare ribs are really delicous, American style.
It is the best have used it a few times really good if you butterfly the lamb
I would like to obtain this recipe as I saw it on Foxtel and it looked great.
I agree, have done this one heaps of times, go the ribs WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I am searching for an overnight pork recipe that jaime does in his restaurant overnight. He finishes it off by deglazing the pan with white wine. The next day it is ready for lunch and very tender. Please HELP! Thank you!
A comment like that proves that you are either an immature teenager, or an imbicile. If you find him offensive to watch on TV then change the channel.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"aside, I wonder what Rachael thinks of Gordon Ramsey's looks or any of the many other great chefs of the world. As far as I am aware, good, average or bad looks have nothing to do with how well chefs cook or present their work on television. Jamie Oliver is well known and respected for his philanthropy work with the under-privileged and disadvantaged youth. The words "ugly man" may not apply to Rachael Johnson, however, shallow and ignorant certainly do.
Jamie has so much passion, whether it's the Fifteen restaurant or the School Dinners or just cooking at home, I love him!
jamie is a great cook and is always smiling, also does kids show at there school so they eat right. he loves his fresh herds too
At least he is better looking than Gordon Ramsey and he doesn't even need to use vulgar language to keep his audience
so true
I absolutly adore Jamie's cooking. He reallyy loves his food and knows a lot about his food. Especialy when he gets his ingridients fresh from the garden. He travels around the world to learn about different countries different recepies. I'm an oldfashioned cook, I was brought up in Hungary where we had freshly cooked meal every day. Mum and I used to go to the market to get all the fresh fruits and vegetables and I loved it and still do. Jamie get his from his own garden. Nothing can be better than that.Love Your cooking, love Your recepies, and love watching Your shows. U beat Gordon Ramsay to me, Your here with us everyday people, he is only for the rich and famous. Thank You Jamie!!!!
I cook Jamie's recipes and they are delicious. His dedication to getting the Fifteen Restaurants off the ground and taking on homeless and down and out teens to do so is inspiring. Good on you Jamie keep up the good work.
jamie is by far the most interesting and amusing chef to watch on tv, he is down to earth and passionate about both food and people he is an inspiration and the world woud be a better place if there were more people like him in it
i love u jamie, your food is so good,i brought your cook book,my family loved the food that was made,it was yummy, it was also so fun to make which was a surprise because i am a terrible cook and thought that i would not enjoy myself,but i did. :)
I LOVE U JAMIE!
Me 2 WE ALL LOVE YOU JAMIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like you better eat those words Rachel. PS Can u cook or r u just jealous that Jamie can and more
I enjoy the way Jamie make cooking look so easy and full of fun, which of course is the way it should be.
who ever said jamie is *** on tv is out of their mind, jamie your so hot tho u need to fix up ur teeth they are a little grse, or maby just use tooth brush and tooth paste once in a while or evenbett ote denstand get some work done on them , you could look so much better on tv if you had a nice smile,thats all i have to say thats negative.i think that jamie is an awsome cheff and looks like a great dad too.oi also think that jamie si such an insperation to people who want to become a cheff,i love toi cook after i wach his shows because all his food looks so good.
I think jamie oliver is an inspiration not only to apprentice chefs/ chefs, but to the nervous, or maybe confident home cooks,and he shows that there is alot more to experience with food than just eating it. I have all of his books so far and I have learnt a lot of new things in every one. I totally dis agree with Rachael, you obviously do not kno anything about the excitement in cooking. It is a real pity because you are the only one missing out, and i think that is a very unfair and rude statement, although everyone has there own opinion it does not need to be like that. If you dnt like him dnt get on here, and talk ***.
Hi Jamie love all your shows enjoy your cooking and also tried many of them, the best one is the ministry of food cookbook i showed all my relatives here in South Australia and now they have bought your book as well still enjoying the receipes
Jamie Oliver is by far THE BEST!!! tv chef EVER!!! sorry rachel your wrong...
since when did looks have anything to do with cooking ability?
Sorry Rachel you have no taste or class and Jamie exudes both in absolute abundance.
Jamie is fantastic... I love his recipes and it all has wonderful flavor. WE LOVE U JAMIE!!
What you talking about? He makes cooking interesting. He is the reason why I got into cooking
I am sorry to say that Jamie is a great Chef and a fantastic father and role model. I would love to one day work with him and I admire his wife Jules as she is always there for him.
jamie Oliver, you are the worst person i've ever seen on tv. and you are so ugly man!!!! the only good thing about you is your accent its awsome keep it up but not on tv.
Are you right in the head? Jamie is a great chef. i bet you cant even cook . LOOSER!!!! You need to get a life
Dee, are you sure you haven't got Jamie Oliver confused with Gordon Ramsay? I don't think that Jamie Oliver is foul mouthed at all.
YOU ARE RIGHT - HE DOESN'T BELONG ON TV WITH HIS FILTHY MOUTH - HE HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE - NO MATTER WHERE HE IS, HE CAN'T KEEP THAT FILTHY MOUTH OF HIS SHUT. IF HE HAD ANY SELF RESPECT, HE SHOULD REALIZE THAT ANY "GOOD, DECENT" CHEF DOESN'T HAVE TO TALK WITH A FILTHY MOUTH LIKE A SEWER, AND THEN MORE PEOPLE 'MIGHT' RESPECT HIS TALENT IF HE HAS ANY - THE SCUZZY LOOKING BUM DRESSES LIKE A GUTTER RAT - DOESN'T COMB THAT MOP ON TOP OF HIS STUPID LOOKING HEAD NOR MAKE A DECENT PRESENTATION LIKE ANY "DECENT"CHEF SHOULD !!! NOTICE WHEN HE IS COOKING, HE NEVER WASHES HIS HANDS, ESPECIALLY AFTER HE RUNS HIS HANDS OVER HIS SCUZZY FACE OR SCRATHING HIS HEAD !!!
Isn't it a pity that the first person who commented on this site had to say something nasty about Jamie Oliver. To me, I think that he is great and he is certainly not ugly, I think that he is very handsome.
What a cow, I agree with some of the others comments. If you havent got something nice to say, don't say it at all!
jamie is not on tv for his looks -he is there for his cooking skills
Hey Jamie I'm a big fan I wait to watch food channel every day ......keep the recipes and tips coming.....!!!
I really love Jamie's new show called Jamie's 30 minute meals. It is so good and he makes a lot of nice things. I got some money for Christmas so I am going to buy his 30 minute meal cookbook as there are a lot of things in there that I would love to make.
TROLL get back under your bridge
Goodness what's eating you, he's the most enthusiastic, creative thinking outside the box chef that I've ever had come to know since he aired on t.v all those many years ago. He cooks with such gusto & passion & the way he describes his food makes your mouth water like a river. He must have broke your heart or something along those lines coz I can't think of any other reason to want to talk like that about him. So, I'm sorry but you are so so wrong about Jamie Oliver he's the best chef ever next Nigella Lawson...*Shaking my head & rolling my eyes* at you :-(
I agree with everyone. If you don't like Jamie Oliver, then don't watch him as there is no need to make all these vengeful comments about him. After all there are other shows to watch. You can either watch Gordon Ramsay or if you live in Australia you can watch Huey. He is good as well.
Wow, such vengeful sentiments should be kept to one's self. We don't need to see the truly ugly side of you or anyone. Keep it to yourself.
To be honest, think what you like, I love Jamie Oliver. He has made my life better, i own alot of his stuff. You can thing what ever you like. You just an attention seeking Whore. So F*** Off and get of this, if you don't like him. Why bother making everyone else have a go at you.. Its not that hard.. Think what you like, NOTHING WILL CHANGE ME... I LOVE JAMIE WITH ALL MY HEART, him and his life has been like mine.. Kira..
Whats wrong with you girl I feel sorry for you just dont watch if you feel like that. Jamie is great and he has a great accent so leave him alone. You will miss all his wonderful recipes. At least his recipes are easy to do and really nice not like some of the other chefs on TV.
Wehelll that was kinda mean :p
Just saw the first episode of Jamie Does. I thought it was great. I love watching all his shows. Jamie you are the best.
Rachel You are a sad sad person, Jamie Oliver taught me how to cook. He is passionate and makes food that a black South African woman from the township would like to cook. He's got style and has done a lot for others as well. Jamie Oliver rocks and he should know that he has made it if he has HATERS writting about him on the net. LOVE YOU Jamie!!!
ESTAS LOCA CHABONA!! ES EL MEJOR CHEF QUE CONOZCO POR LA SIMPLEZA CON QUE HACE LAS RECETAS... ENSEÑA A COCINAR DE FORMA GOURMET PERO SENCILLA!!
Well, if you were looking for some attention, you got it! Here is a man who not only is a success in his own right but continues to help others get their lives together by turning them into cooks / chefs. Clearly you have a touch of the "Green Eyed Monster".....I feel sorry for you!!!!!!
Get a Life! I think he's Absolutely Gorgeous! He's got it all, good on ya Jamie!
you really dont know what talking about it not the look it about the food
you are very rude i think jamie is a great chef
I think that Jamie Oliver is good too. His food is very rustic and he makes a lot of down to earth type of food and I have made a few of his dishes as well. I have two of his DVDs and I watch them when I need some tips on how to cook something properly.
i watch a few cooking shows,Jamie Oliver is a down to earth man no pretence.His recipies,brilliant and norishing.People if they listened,could learn a lot.
I gather you're really good looking then? a moderator should take this comment down as it doesn't belong on this site. No Value whatsoever.
You need to get a life! This is not a forum of your personal discusting opinion. Clearly you have nothing better to do with you time, so get a life you small minded person! People with small minds dwell everything toxic, and that says to me, exactly what type of person you are!. Jamie is the most amazing Man, so gorgeous and such talent. I pitty the people around you having to deal with your bad energy, I can only imagine what they really think of you. Grow up, and if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Jamie Oliver is the King of Cooking!
You obvisously havent been watching Jamie on TV. He is an amazing chef and makes the most fantastic dishes. Keep up the good work Jamie and sending love to ur family. From an australian fan! :)
I don't think that Maie Oliver is ugly, i think that he is very good looking.
jamie i think u are a wonderful cook and one of the besh i have ever seen and pee of Rachael Johnson u dont know wat ur talkin about
Jamie is a great chef and fun and informative to watch. You, my dear, come across as an idiot.
Luv what ever your on you better stop taking to much of it, and you obviously haven't looked in the mirror lately, jamie oliver is one of the best chefs on television right now, his food is easy to prepare he doesn't use over the top ingredients. Keep up the good work Jamie.
Rachael Johnson, you are an idiot. How dare you say such nasty things about Jamie. Firstly, learn to punctuate and write correctly, then maybe we will take you seriously. Grow up you silly little girl.
GET A LIFE LOVE!!!!!!
What is wrong with you? Jamie is a genius and a good cook! Do yourself a favour, go buy some of Jamie's cookbooks, and watch the T.V special 'Jamie's American Road Trip'. Then you will learn to like old school british cooking...
Whatever Loser!
I would be totally embarrassed if you were related. Since my Hubby found `Jamie's cooking my sex life is wounderful and food is good too.
A little sad that the only way you can feel good about yourself is to rip Jamie Oliver down! Perhaps spending some time with a psychologist instead of writing the comment you did would be more a productive use of time. Our kids & I love watching Jamie Oliver - so Jamie keep it up & we thank you! Gins & her girls (New Zealand) .
you are a very rude person, Jamie is one of the most talented, nicest chefs on TV my family love watching Jamies shows, what you need to do is grow up , Jamie is beautiful on the inside and out where you are ugly on the inside, JAMIE OLIVER IS THE BEST you are not I have become a better home cook because of Jamie I hope jamie is on TV for many more years to come as he is the best. WE LOVE JAMIE
i cant imagine he'd be bothered reading these comments so god knows why you're talking to him!
Bet you haven't actually tried any of his recipes!
ARE U CRAZY !!!!! Jamie Oliver is the most AWSOME chef ever !!!! his recipes rock they are simple easy and delicious and he is so smart and good looking aswell how can you think of insulting him like that and if you dont like him then why do you watch his show you are crazy so i suggest you get a life and shut up !!!
Get a life

Jamie Oliver would have to be the most charasmatic TV Chef Iv'e seen. I am a chef myself & beleive he has a wonderful knack of relating recepies that almost anyone can follow. Sorry love you do not know what you are talking about....& as for the ugly comment....PUT YOUR GLASSES ON!!!... he is HOT!! DO yourself a favour & buy some Jamie Oliver cookbooks & DVD's & cook some of his stuff... It is *** hot!
well maybe Jamie Oliver isn't for you. But the millions of dollars that he is worth, says that to people like me he is down to earth, funny and makes everything so easy.
Rachel, you r a loser. Shame you can't cook and you're illiterate. Looks like you are going to be on this earth for a long time as you are nasty.
she is nuts!!
Rachael is clearly down syndrome, and needs a bag over here head to walk out in public. Please he is so intelligent not only when it comes to his cooking but also his business adventours, he has a genuine interest in helping and sharing his skills and talents with evryone to change the face of a nation. He has inspired me to learn how to cook and eat better. Go find a nice quite spot and die Rachael haha
as Jamie would say... "What a Plonker !"
Jamie rocks and his recipes are easy and down to earth for real people not like the ... who continually do that fine dining crap. Jamie fan club member NO 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get a life, you must be nuts
WAHT THE HELLL???! JAMIE OLIVER IS GREAT AND HIS THE BEST! HIS GOOD IN Tv...IF u Dont like HIm DONT WATCH IT THEN AND SHUT UR MOUTH
good on ya Rachael, if you dont want to watch Jamie then dont. He is awsome and cute so back off sweety.
When you post a pic of yourself, help as many people as Jamie has, become a household name, people may give a toss about what you have to say
like mum used to say if you got nothing nice to say shut up and keep it to yourself
you are so rude if you think what he like ! don't watch his show then . i think he is so great and amzing the way he cook , loves watch his show
Grow up.
I think that comment is so wrong, Jamie Oliver is the best chef on television; he provides enthusiasum and makes the most delicious, rustic and simple recipes for everyone to enjoy. WE LOVE JAMIE!
r u out of you mind,
