Jamie's Ministry Of Food

General information

Jamie firmly believes that anyone can be – and everyone should be - taught to cook. In the UK we’re on a path towards a diet-related health catastrophe and a lack of food knowledge and cooking know-how is largely to blame. Our Ministry of Food projects aim to address this problem at a grassroots level by providing a place where individuals, and groups, can access practical cooking classes and information on recipes, equipment and how to feed themselves and their families on a tight budget. Our goal is to teach as many people as possible how to make delicious – and nutritious – meals from scratch.

We work with partners across the UK who deliver Jamie's Ministry of Food Programme in their local communities.

Mission:
Educate by offering classes that teach basic
cooking skills and nutritional information.
Empower as many people as possible with the
knowledge and skills they need to cook a
balanced meal.
Inspire people to change their eating habits and
become healthier, happier individuals.

"I want to inspire you to get in the kitchen and cook meals for yourself and your family from scratch, whether you're a complete beginner or a good cook who likes simplicity. With some basic skills under your belt and a handful of recipes, you'll be able to prepare nutritious meals on any budget." Jamie Oliver
