Biography

---

Jamie grew up in a small Essex village called Clavering. His parents own a pub called "The Cricketers". He formed the band Scarlet Division with Leigh Haggerwood in 1989. He had some difficulties in school due to dyslexia, and left school with no qualifications. He attended Westminster Catering College when he was 16. He spent several years working alongside the London chef, Gennaro Contaldo, whom he regards as one of his culinary mentors. His first TV break came in 1996 when he was "discovered" by television producer Patricia Llewellyn while working at The River Café in London. She saw him on a documentary called Christmas at The River Café and recognised his star potential immediately. Two highly successful series of The Naked Chef were filmed in 1998 and 1999.

On June 24, 2000 he married Juliette Norton, also known as Jools. The couple met in 1993 and currently have two daughters. The daughters are named Poppy Honey (born in March 2002) and Daisy Boo (born in April 2003).
