Jamie's Comfort Food

Jamie Oliver is a global phenomenon in food and campaigning. During a 24-year television and publishing career, he has sold nearly 50 million books worldwide, and his TV series are watched by millions of people around the globe. His portfolio of successful restaurants spans 22 countries across over 70 restaurants, and his growing range of quality food and kitchen products features everything from pans and utensils to pasta, ready-to-eat grains, curry pastes, and much more. As a result, Jamie has inspired a generation to enjoy cooking fresh, delicious food from scratch. He has published 26 best-selling cookery books, making him the top-selling non-fiction author in UK history. His 2019 title, "Veg," has sold over 1 million copies worldwide and is now the UK and Australia's best-selling vegetarian cookbook since records began. Jamie's latest cookbook, "One," was his most pre-ordered book ever. Alongside his work in TV and publishing, Jamie connects with audiences across multiple digital platforms, creating and appearing in exclusive content for his website, the Jamie Oliver YouTube channels, and various social platforms. Jamie started cooking at his parents' pub, The Cricketers, in Clavering, Essex, at the age of eight. After leaving school, he began a career as a chef that took him to the celebrated River Café, where he was famously spotted by a television producer, leading to the birth of the Naked Chef. Through his campaign team and working alongside the youth movement BiteBack 2030, Jamie is on a mission to inspire and enable more people to experience the joys and benefits of cooking and enjoying nutritious, sustainable, and balanced meals. This desire to make food fairer for all sits at the heart of Jamie's company-wide goal of creating a happier, healthier world through the joy of food. Jamie now lives in Essex with his wife Jools and their five children.
