Jamie's America
Jamie Oliver won the TED Prize this year for his tremendous effort to change the deteriorating eating habits of Americans through his campaign Jamie’s Food Revolution. His TV series Jamie’s American Road Trip, a survey of the culturally rich and diverse culinary traditions across America came out last year in the UK but has not made it to the US (though most other countries around the world have aired the show). The accompanying cookbook, Jamie’s America, is already available. Jamie is using his celebrity chef status to make a difference in the world by producing quality shows, cookbooks and products that not only entertain but also educate. He’s my hero and inspiration!
