Jamie Oliver: Dinner Cooked for G20 'a Success'
Looks like Jamie Oliver's dinner for the 30 world leaders at the G20 summit went over well. Oliver cooked the meal along with his students from Fifteen. On his blog he says:
I was well chuffed with the food and we worked out that if you were to serve the whole three courses at home then it would come in at around £11 a head. I felt that it was really important to write a menu that was not indulgent. The food was homely and proved that you can serve very humble food in the most opulent of places. I wanted to prove that you really don’t have to spend loads of money to serve a very special meal.
His Twitter stream, too, is full of little details from the day and evening.
