Jamie's Ministry of Food by Jamie Oliver

Jamie Oliver took an early interest in food. He grew up in Essex, where his parents Trevor and Sally still run their pub/restaurant and he was frequently found helping out in the kitchens.  At 16 Jamie left school and completed his training at catering college. After spending some time working in France, followed by a stint at Antonio Carluccio's Neal Street Restaurant, London Jamie joined the acclaimed River Café and the rest, as they say, is history.
