This week, we’re joined in the studio by food superstar and philanthropist Jamie Oliver. We talk about his start in food, growing up above a small-town pub, and finding himself at the iconic River Café with Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray, and later becoming the TV persona behind The Naked Chef. He talks about his travels, his admiration for women cooks, and the use of his platform to champion nutrition programs and job-skills training for underserved communities. Jamie Oliver is a restaurateur, TV personality, and the author of over 30 cookbooks, including the best-selling 30-Minute Meals , 5 Ingredients: Quick & Easy Food , and Veg: Easy & Delicious Meals for Everyone . His latest book is Eat Yourself Healthy: Food to Change Your Life . He left us with his recipe for Harissa Tuna Bean Parcels .
