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.

More quotes by Jamie Oliver
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
From quite an early age I realised the effect that good food can have on others.
Jamie Oliver
Many kids can tell you about drugs but do not know what celery or courgettes taste like.
Jamie Oliver
If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.
Jamie Oliver
As soon as I was old enough to peer over the worktops, I remember being fascinated by what went on in the kitchen. It just seemed such a cool place, everyone working together to make this lovely stuff and having a laugh doing it.
Jamie Oliver
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
Food is one of life's greatest joys yet we've reached this really sad point where we're turning food into the enemy, and something to be afraid of
Jamie Oliver
In England, you're allowed to have an opinion - as long as it comes out of your mouth.
Jamie Oliver
I love roasting because you can give it love, get it in the oven and go and play with the kids or whatever you've got to do, and then hours later you've got a lovely dinner.
Jamie Oliver
My life is really so much based in England.
Jamie Oliver
Heads know that failing to invest in good, nutritious food is a false economy and parents won't tolerate reconstituted turkey being put back on the menu.
Jamie Oliver
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
When you are trying to move mountains you want-and need-people on your side who want to move them with you.
Jamie Oliver
Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat.
Jamie Oliver
It's very clear that there's a lot of double standards going on. Should there be a 30mph speed limit? Of course there bloody should. And certainly with kids and school food, kids need to be nannied for sure. So give them a bloody good meal at school.
Jamie Oliver
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
The best food I've ever eaten in my life has come from the poorest communities.
Jamie Oliver
I've cooked just about everything really.
Jamie Oliver
I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.
Jamie Oliver
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.
