I wouldn’t believe either Wikipedia or Jamie Oliver in this regard. As you’ve found out yourself, with a little research, Jamie cooks in the nude. I know this from years of watching British tv in both London and New York. He distanced himself from the title after he got so full of himself and his food nazi ways and the infamous burning incident.

He also has a ridiculous habit of not looking into the camera when he talks hence my reference to him being wall-eyed. He talks to his producer off camera which produces the weirdest disconnect with his viewers. But he’s Jamie Oliver so he gets to do what he wants.

Personally, give me Nigella Lawson any day!

We've got thousands of 'cooks' in the LA district, and the truth is, they just don't cook.

When I was in elementry schoolmany tyears ago when had a bunch of old woman who cooked our lunches. Yes they opened the food out of cans and the hamburgers weren;t grade a #1 but the food was tasty and some of it wa great.(chili day was not to be missed and cinnamin buns were delicious. So so was the bread. They knew HOW TO COOK FOOD, not just reheat the crap. Unforortunately the food served in junior high and high school was crap warmed over. Nowadays I can just passed through the school and retch at the smell of what they are serving kids now.

When I was in elementary school many years ago when had a bunch of little old ladies, most of them grannies or aunts no doubt, who cooked our lunches. Yes they opened the food out of cans and the hamburgers were't Grade A#1 but the food was tasty and some of it was great.(chili day was not to be missed and the Cinnamon buns were delicious. So so was the bread. Hot, moist and melt in your mouth good. Mmmmmmmm!!!

these little old ladies knew HOW TO COOK FOOD , not just reheat the crap. Unfortunately the food served in junior high and high school was crap warmed over.

Nowadays I can just passed through the school and retch at the smell of what they are serving kids now.

Yeah, when my kids won’t eat anything but chicken nuggets and hot cheetoes I just tell them, “Ok, I give up, you are the boss and I will let you eat whatever junk you want. No need to try healthy foods because I tried but I can’t make you eat that even though I am the adult and you are the child.” I mean, I tried actually being in charge and responsible, but that was a lot of work. /sarc
