Jamie Oliver: The Biography

by Stafford Hildred, Tim Ewbank

Jamie Oliver just might be the most popular chef in the world. In just four frantic years, he’s gone from low-ranking pasta cook at London’s trendy River Café to a household name as the Naked Chef—a title earned by his “stripped–down” style of cooking. His boyish looks, infectious enthusiasm, and matey appeal have won him the kind of popularity usually accorded to pop stars. More than a young icon, his dynamic TV series Jamie’s Kitchen—in which he trained 15 unemployed kids to be chefs— revealed a serious individual with deep-held concerns about youth, work, and society. Now, media critics Stafford Hildred and Tim Ewbank talk to friends, family, and colleagues as they trace Jamie’s rocketing rise to the top, and look at his startling impact on international cuisine.

In aceasta carte vedem parcursul baietelului dislexic, nazdravan si pus pe sotii, care isi ajuta parintii in afacerea de familie pe care o aveau. Lucru ce a contribuit foarte mult la formarea lui ca viitor adult.
Acum, mare fiind, Jamie, este poate cel mai indragit bucatar din Marea Britanie, vedeta TV, autor a numeroase carti si cand ii mai ramane timp, baterist intr-o formatie rock. Nu pentru ca ar fi fost un copil minune, ci prin munca si devotament, a reusit sa duca pasiunea la un alt nivel.

Old one but interesting. This book have done with some good editing but it would have been half the size!

I like biographies, it does not really matter who. This one is written in a easy going way to read, funny and honest at the sane time. It is a really nice read, especially if you like his cookbooks!

Mi-a plăcut foarte mult!

Toată evoluția personală și profesională mi s-au părut chiar sincer și onest puse în pagină.

Nu am mai citit așa ceva.

Se mai putea lucra asupra factorului timp.
