I'm better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I think authenticity is important whichever homeland you're from but one of the lovely things about British cooking is that we adopt great food and dishes from all of the lovely people who come from overseas to live in our country. We're a magpie nation - we take the best bits of other cuisines and embrace them as our own.
Jamie Oliver
Image
Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of food that we've built around them.

If Obama wanted to make radical changes to America's health long-term, all he has to do is treble the price of sugar and salt.
Jamie Oliver
Image
What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

Image
I hate making TV documentaries.
Jamie Oliver
Image
It's just us trying to start a movement where everybody passes on a bit of cooking knowledge. We estimate that one person can potentially affect 180 others very quickly so we're just trying to spread the word.
Jamie Oliver
Image
Sugar is the next tobacco, without a doubt, and that industry should be scared. It should be taxed just like tobacco and anything else that can, frankly, destroy lives.
Jamie Oliver
Image
The whole idea is to earn the flavor. No one gives it to you.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I've cooked just about everything really.
Jamie Oliver
Image
The future is about a plant-based diet.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I hear loads of cynics saying that I'll never be able to change anything. They say that junk food marketing and the ready availability of fast food is just too powerful. But I'd say in response, screw you. I know that most people, if they're really honest, are fed up with the same old rubbish

I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.
Jamie Oliver
Image
The kitchen oven is reliable, but it's made us lazy.
Jamie Oliver
Image
Every child should be taught to cook in school, not just talk about nutrition all day. Good food can be made in 15 minutes. This could be the first generation where the kids teach the parents.
Jamie Oliver
Image
All I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone to show that you can make mistakes - I do all the time - but it doesn't matter.
Jamie Oliver
Image
Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food, nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.
Jamie Oliver

If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it's such a brilliant thing isn't it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know?
