The intimate story behind the devoted husband and father, talented chef, television celebrity, and political animal Jamie Oliver's charm and down-to-earth approach to cooking has made him a household favorite. Jamie rose from a humble pastry chef to television star by catching the eye of producers during a documentary about the River Cafe, where he was working at the time. His onscreen charisma meant he was featured heavily in the finished documentary; the offers came flooding in, and so The Naked Chef was born. The program was a huge success, with an intimate and fresh approach to the television chef. Jamie's passion shone through and drew in a younger audience. His television series and books gave Jamie fame and fortune the world over, but he always wanted to do something positive with his success.
