Editor's Take:
Jamie Oliver made cooking look easy, fun and a little bit rock and roll. He arrived on television in his early twenties, sliding down banisters and cooking with friends. He soon became one of the best-selling cookbook authors in British history. Then he turned his fame into campaigning, taking on processed food in school canteens. The government responded with new money and standards for school meals. Not every venture worked, and his restaurant chain collapsed in 2019. Yet his influence on how Britain eats is hard to overstate.
