Jamie Oliver is the most famous and prolific chef in the UK at the moment!!
He has done an COMMENDABLE job of trying to educate people in the mass production of animals for slaughter… even at his own expense!!

Jamie’s Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals
He was the Face of Sainsbury’s at one time (one of the largest supermarket chains in England)…
He would cook their products, and those products would fly off the shelves… as they did when Delia said she used something!!
It was a huge marketing coup for the stores!!
BUT… while in the midst of all this fame and fortune… he secretly filmed the appalling conditions in which the Sainsbury’s Chickens were raised… and exposed the company for its lack of conscience when it came to making money…
It was a MASSIVE SCANDAL … needless to say Sainsbury’s dropped him like a hot potato…
But it was the start of Jamie’s Campaign for better quality lives for the animals we eat… he’s a huge advocate for locally grown produce and hand-reared meats!!
He’s been a big influence in the meals served in UK schools… bringing in nutritionalists to make food the kids WANT but that are healthy…
NOT AN EASY TASK!!
But he continues to push forward!!
He also took 15 jobless people with no real prospects and trained them to become chefs and open their own restaurant…
“Fifteen”… in Old St London which is still a big success!!!
For me, I love his many books for different reasons, but THIS one was my starting point for Indian Cooking which I discovered I liked later in life!!
He cooks in REAL families’ kitchens in the book… good old comfort food that I grew up on!!
His Ground Beef Wellington is much loved by my boys as well as his Chicken Stroganoff… easy and absolutely delicious!!
