CELEBRITY PROFILE
Jamie Oliver
1 Jamie Oliver is one of the worldʼs most famous chefs. You can watch him on TV in over 100 countries and read his recipe books in 29 languages. In fact, Jamie is the UKʼs second-biggest selling author of all time, after JK Rowling. There are also Jamie Oliver DVDs, food products, restaurants, magazines and apps for your phone.
2 Jamie was born in Essex, England, on 27th May 1975. When he was only eight he started helping in the kitchen in his parentsʼ pub. After Jamie left college, he worked at the famous River Cafe in London for three years. He made his first TV series, The Naked Chef, in 1999. Jamie quickly became
a celebrity and in the same year he cooked lunch for the British Prime Minister.
3 In 2001, Jamie opened a restaurant in London called Fifteen – but it wasnʼt a typical restaurant. Jamie took 15 young unemployed people and taught them to become chefs. The programme about the restaurant, Jamieʼs Kitchen, was on TV every week and became a big success. Jamie now has restaurants all over the UK and he is going to open restaurants in Australia and other countries around the world in the next five years.
4 Jamie is also famous for his ʼbetter foodʼ campaigns. In 2005, he made a TV series called Jamieʼs School Dinners because he wanted schools to give children healthier meals. Because of Jamieʼs campaign, the British government agreed to spend an extra £ 280 million on school meals. In another series, Jamieʼs Ministry of Food, he helped people to stop eating fast food and taught them to cook meals using fresh ingredients instead.
5 Jamie got married in June 2000 and he lives in London and Essex with his wife, Jools, and their four children. He loves traveling, playing the drums and riding around London on his scooter. At the moment, Jamie is writing a new book of recipes, and when heʼs at home he enjoys relaxing with his family – as well as cooking, of course!

Who Knows You Better, Your Family or Your Friends?
In our weekly “test” single people who are looking for a partner ask their mother and their best friend to help. Their mother chooses one partner and their best friend chooses another. The test is to see who can choose the best partner!
This weekʼs single man is Richard Taylor, a 26-year-old musician from Southampton. His mother Meg chooses one girl, and his best friend Danny chooses another. Then Richard goes on a date with each girl. Which girl does he prefer? Who knows him better, his mother or his best friend? Who chooses the right girl for him?
“I usually work in England but sometimes I work abroad too. When Iʼm not working I like going to the cinema and eating in nice restaurants. Iʼm not very sporty and I donʼt do any exercise, but at least I donʼt smoke.
I think Iʼm open and friendly – get on well with most people – but Iʼm sometimes quite shy too. For example, I donʼt like going to parties. I prefer to meet friends individually or in small groups.
I like intelligent, funny women who make me laugh, and ideally who love music. Physically I prefer women with dark hair who are not taller than me. And I like women who are good listeners.
Iʼm sure that my friend Danny knows me better than my family because we often talk about girlfriends and the problems we have. I donʼt usually talk to my family about that kind of thing. My mum always says that I look for the wrong kind of girl but thatʼs what mothers always say!”
