James Trevor "Jamie" Oliver aka The Naked Chef, MBE FRCGP (Hon) (born 27 May 1975) is a British chef, restaurateur, media personality, known for his food-focused television shows, cookbooks and more recently his campaign against the use of processed foods in national schools. He strives to improve unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits in the United Kingdom and the United States. Oliver's speciality is Italian cuisine, although he has a broad international repertoire. Jamie Oliver was raised in Clavering, Essex, in England. His parents ran a pub, "The Cricketers", where he used to practise cooking in the kitchen. He was educated at Newport Free Grammar School. In 2009 Oliver stated that he was of partial Sudanese ancestry via his great-great grandfather John, whom he described as "a bit swarthy".However, research for the Sunday Express established that John's father Peter was a hatter from Penzance, and that James' father Richard was also Cornish, leaving little or no possibility of a Sudanese connection. The family legend of Sudanese ancestry may have originated in the 19th century when John Oliver returned from sea, possibly with a tanned complexion after visiting Africa. Oliver left school at age sixteen with two GCSE qualifications and went on to attend Westminster Kingsway College, formerly Westminster College. He then earned a City & Guilds National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in home economics. In July 2000, Oliver married former model Juliette Norton. The couple met in 1993 and has four children: Poppy Honey Rosie Oliver (born 18 March 2002), Daisy Boo Pamela Oliver (born on 10 April 2003), Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver (born on 3 April 2009)[64] and Buddy Bear Maurice Oliver (born on 15 September 2010).The family lives in Clavering, Essex. Oliver suffers from dyslexia, and read his first novel (Catching Fire) in 2013, at the age of 38.[
