Food lovers everywhere love the hottest young celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver. One big reason is his simple, easy and, above all, tasty recipes, which he has put together in some excellent recipe books. Good food was always very important in Jamie´s family. His parents had a pub in the southeast of England and, from the age of eight, he started cooking and helping the chefs.

Recently, he started a new project. He opened a restaurant called ´15´in east London. He gave himself nine months to take a team of unemployed 16-24-year-olds, with almost no previous experience of cooking, and turn them into to-class chefs. Jamie says his biggest lesson is that each individual needs a different approach. Some people learn quickly and others need a bit more time.

The project also became a TV series called Jamie´s kitchen which millions of people watched. One of the real success stories is KeryAnn Dunlop. Originally she failed her college exams but after Jamie took her on, everything changed. Now she runs her own section of the kitchen. ´Everyone is still having a really good time. We get tired sometimes but we have fun in the kitchen, and seeing everyone enjoying the meals we´ve prepared makes us all feel good.´ And about Jamie, she says, ´He´s fantastic. He´s like a big brother or best friend to me now.´And what is she going to do next? ´I think I´d like to work abroad. I´m going to apply for a job in a top New York restaurant.´
