jamie's ministry of food - rotherham
Hi everyone,
Last Monday I had the pleasure of travelling up to Rotherham to write a story about an event that the girls from the food centre in Rotherham were working at. I will be posting the story up on the site this week. The girls and the volunteers from the Food Centre in Rotherham made lunch for over 100 staff from a company called KP Nuts who were volunteering at the Bluebell Children's Hospice to build a kitchen garden. It was great to be there and also to catch up on all of the news from the Food Centre. Check back in the news section for the story.
Regards
Danny

hi everyone,
In the 4th issue of Jamie Magazine there is an article from Jamie all about the G20 dinner that he cooked with the apprentices. On the day that he was preparing for the dinner I managed to ask him a few questions. Check out the video below

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder to get your entries in for Jamie’s Recipe Challenge. The winning recipe (as chosen by Jamie and Andrew Parkinson – the Exec Chef for Fifteen) will feature on the menu of the Trattoria at Fifteen London. There are 2 other prizes as well that everyone can vote on. All three recipes will be tested and cooked by myself, the Chefs from Fifteen and the apprentices as well. It’s a great competition and I am really looking forward to seeing your entries. Thanks to those of you who have entered recipes as well.

what is attacking my lettuce plant in the office?
Hi troops,
Can anyone identify this bug for me? Apologies for the picture quality - the bug is very small and green and there are hundreds of them camping out on my lettuce leaves. How do I get rid of them?
