Jamie's Ministry of Food

My books

As I write this my latest book, Jamie's Ministry of Food, is being printed and we're in the final stages of completing the TV series. For me, Ministry of Food is without doubt the most important project I've ever worked on. I'm massively excited about it.

Food culture in Britain is a topic that has been close to my heart for a long time. There are loads of great things to say about the state of cooking and food in this country, but also quite a few negatives. Brits have one of the highest obesity rates in Europe and are eating more ready meals than ever.

How we prepare our food and the food we eat has changed over the last 50 years. Generations are not having cooking skills passed on to them in the same way they used to, which may be why people are turning to takeaways or ready meals as an easy option for meals. I think it's absolutely crucial to get people excited about cooking good food again, and passing it on to as many of their friends, colleagues & family as they can.
