In today's saturated food media landscape there are a few individuals who stand out. Jamie Oliver is one of them for me. I admire him, as the choices he makes are not driven purely by ego and the profit motive. His commitment to social justice and his lack of Masterchef style fetishisation of elaborately calorie rich drivel along with the fact that his recipes actually work and taste great are what I love about him.
Of course, he is not perfect, and I'm sure people can find things to pick him apart for, but to me he is top shelf.
My husband was inspired to to make Quick Jerk pork after watching one of Jamie Oliver's tv shows. He followed the recipe for the pork and then adjusted the salad a bit to fit our tastes.
