This week on
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution,
Jamie tries to secure $150,000 in funding so his project can live on after he leaves Huntington. He finds that something not-so-great for the kids is back on the menu at school. And he tells his new BFF, Radio Rod, about the time he steam-burned his man bits while cooking naked. [Warning: Spoilers ahead!]

A modern-looking twist on the old-fashioned mortar and pestle, Jamie Oliver's
Flavor Shaker promises to grind, crush, and blend its contents into a nice, homogeneous marinade. It's a big claim, but if Jamie's gadget could do that successfully, he'd have a whole other kind of food(ie) revolution on his hands.

Flash mobs! Cooking demonstrations in the street! A bet with a local DJ! Ah yes. There's no denying last night's episode of
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution was filled with drama and intrigue.

Jamie was clearly upset by
the sheer amount of french fry chowage (technical term) going on around him, so he took the opportunity to send out a sternly worded warning about overindulging in their deliciousness. "Do I love french fries?" he asked sarcastically. "The french fry is one of the most beautiful things on the planet. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. But you eat those little babies every day, and
your heinie's gonna get bigger than Godzilla's jacksie!"

Jamie thought if he showed the kids how chicken nuggets were made, they wouldn't want to eat them anymore. So, he did what any of us would have done—grabbed a knife and started hacking at an old chicken carcass like Michael Myers after enrolling in summer classes at Le Cordon Bleu.

Mondays are never fun but the first Monday of the new year is a particularly harsh one to wake up to. Whether it's getting up early for the gym or kicking off a new diet, chances are your New Year's resolutions won't be as fun as opening gifts. To help ease into January with recipes that focus on feel-good foods, we're devoting Cook the Book this month to healthy and inexpensive cooking, starting with Jamie's Food Revolution, the latest from the British cooking sensation Jamie Oliver. Oliver went from sous chef to television personality in practically no time, thanks to his boyish good looks, carefree cooking style, and an infinitely likable personality. His first show, The Naked Chef premiered...

[Photograph: TED] British chef and food TV personality Jamie Oliver has won the 2010 TED foundation prize. The prize grants him $100,000—and something much bigger: "a wish to change the world." He'll unveil the wish on February 10 at TED2010 and we, the TED community, will make it come true. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design; the foundation runs a series of conferences that promote "ideas worth spreading." I guess we'll see what new idea Oliver wants to spread in February. As you may recall, he's no stranger to good ideas. See School Dinners/Feed Me Better and the Fifteen Foundation. (For an idea of what a TED Talk is like, check out this video of Mark Bittman at a...

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....
