Jamie Oliver, MBE

Chef and Food Campaigner

Having grown up in the Essex pub run by his parents and honed his cooking skills at Carluccio’s and the River Café, Jamie Oliver first appeared on UK screens as the Naked Chef of the ’90s, bringing a fun, informal approach to cooking. Further TV programmes, cookery books and a chain of restaurants followed, as well as an 11-year partnership with Sainsbury’s. Known today for his campaigning as much as for his cooking, Oliver continues to play a hugely influential role in forming government policy on health and nutrition education. In 2015 he presented David Cameron with his Obesity Strategy, which aims to reduce childhood obesity and diet-related disease, and his suggestion for a 20% sugar tax won endorsement from the Commons’ health committee.
