Jamie Oliver Kids Quotations

Many kids can tell you about drugs but do not know what celery or courgettes taste like.

I left school with basically nothing, I was a special needs kid. I did feel as though my school had let me down.

I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.

Give your kids a bloody knife and fork and let me put some fresh food in front of them they can eat.

I love roasting because you can give it love, get it in the oven and go and play with the kids or whatever you've got to do, and then hours later you've got a lovely dinner.

Now that I've got kids, it's become really important for me on the health front to try to buy as much organic produce as possible.

It's very clear that there's a lot of double standards going on. Should there be a 30mph speed limit? Of course there bloody should. And certainly with kids and school food, kids need to be nannied for sure. So give them a bloody good meal at school.

Every child should be taught to cook in school, not just talk about nutrition all day. Good food can be made in 15 minutes. This could be the first generation where the kids teach the parents.
