A few years later, he led the call for improved school dinners in the UK, resulting in huge - and lasting - change to the entire school food system.

All of his commercial activities strive to promote and define new best practice standards.Jamie now lives in Essex with his wife Jools and their five children.

The No 1 bestseller This book was inspired by a big idea (and a bit of a mad one): to train a team of disadvantaged kids to become chefs and help them open a top-notch restaurant in London. Against the odds, it worked! We all learned a lot, especially me, and Fifteen is still going strong - we're still taking on a new group of kids every year and three more Fifteens have opened around the globe. All the inspiration, excitement and enthusiasm we felt that year is in this book, and I hope some of it rubs off on you. The focus of Jamie's Kitchen is on different cooking techniques and step-by-step guides. It introduces cooking 'in the bag' and Asian-style cooking. My favourite recipe from this book, though, is my new best salad, with grapes, tarragon and salty cheese. Incredible.
