Jamie Oliver @ Royal Worcester

Jamie Oliver was born in May 1975. His Father runs a lovely pub-restaurant, The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex, where he grew up. It is from these early beginnings that Jamie can trace his love of cooking.

At 16, Jamie Oliver went to Westminster Catering College and then spent some time in France, learning as much as possible, before returning to London to work as head pastry chef for Antonio Carluccio at The Neal Street Restaurant. It was a prestiges move to work at such a renowned restaurant so early on in his career.

After The Neal Street Restaurant, Jamie worked for Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers at the River Café for three and a half years. From these two ladies, Jamie Oliver learnt all about the time and effort that goes into creating the freshest, most honest, totally delicious food.
It was there that he first appeared in front of a TV camera. A documentary about the restaurant was being filmed and the editors decided to show a lot of this cheeky kid who was so into the cooking that he'd answer back to the crew. The day after the programme was shown, Jamie got calls from five production companies all wanting to talk about a possible show.
The result was The Naked Chef and the start of a tremendously successful TV career. In recent years Jamie Oliver has been spearheading the drive to improve the nations eating habits especially amongst the young. He is credited with changing the quality of food in all british schools and is perhaps one of the most influential voices within the media.

Always fun loving in all he does, Jamie Oliver is fully involved in Red Nose Day. To learn more about Jamie Oliver and Red Nose Day 2007 visit the Jamie Oliver Web site
