Our friend Jamie Oliver returns to the show, and we could not be happier to talk with him about so many things. He’s currently appearing on Netflix as part of the Chef’s Table: Legends series. In addition to the Netflix show, he will be launching his 10 Cooking Skills for Life platform in the United States, a free curriculum available for schools and organizations that is designed to teach young children all the skills they need to cook.

For those who didn’t grow up watching food TV, here’s the deal. Jamie pioneered a form of food television that brought cameras into the home in a way not previously seen. When The Naked Chef debuted on BBC Two in the UK and the Food Network in the United States in 1999, home cooking on TV was a stand-and-stir affair. Here, a young and floppy Oliver was cooking real food from a cool East London flat, talking viewers through the relative simplicity of making dinner.

Oliver has gone on to write numerous cookbooks (selling 50 million in the UK alone) and create food television that expanded beyond cooking, producing documentaries about the sugar industry and school lunches that transitioned his work from dude food evangelist to heartier activism. We really enjoyed this talk with Jamie Oliver.

Also on the show, we have a great conversation with Jake Cohen. Jake’s a talented cookbook author and most certainly in the modern social media mix. We talk about Jake’s really cool new cookbook club with Allstora, and the May selection: Ottolenghi Comfort by Yotam Ottolenghi.
