 family. His parents had a pub in the south-east of England and, from the age of eight,
he started cooking and helping the chefs.

Recently, he started a new project. He opened a restaurant called ‘15’ in east

London. He gave himself nine months to take a team of unemployed 16-24 year olds,
with almost no previous experience of cooking, and turn them into top-class chefs.
Jamie says his biggest lesson is that each individual needs a different approach. Some
people learn quickly and others need a bit more time.

The project also became a Tv series

called Jamie’s kitchen which millions of
people watched. One of the real success
stories is KerryAnn Dunlop. Originally she
failed her college exams but after Jamie took
her on, everything changed. Now she runs her
own section of the kitchen. Everyone is still
having a really good time. We get tired
sometimes but we have fun in the kitchen,
and seeing everyone enjoying the meals we’ve prepared makes us all feel good. And
about Jamie, she says, ‘He’s fantastic. He’s like a big brother or best friend to me now.’
And what is he going to do next? I think I’d lke to work abroad. I’m going to apply for a
job in a top New York restaurant’
