Ministry of Food

Jamie Oliver's 10 Skills Programme

Jamie’s always believed that learning to cook is just as important as learning to read or write. It’s essential for helping us live healthy, happy lives.

That’s why he set up the Ministry Of Food. For the past 17 years, its education programmes have inspired and empowered so many people to enjoy the benefits of cooking and eating nutritious, sustainable and balanced meals.

Working with schools, local communities and workplaces across the UK, Australia, Canada and the USA, Jamie’s Ministry of Food has taught over 230,000 people how to cook – and it’s on a mission to reach even more!

“Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to cook. Without it we become dependent on others to feed us, or on convenience foods to fuel us – neither of which is sustainable.”

— JAMIE OLIVER
