Jamie's Kitchen Australia

In 2002 Jamie Oliver came up with a novel idea to train 15 underprivileged young men and women as chefs and open Fifteen restaurant in London where these young trainees were given the opportunity to change their lives forever. The television documentary Jamie's Kitchen captured this journey - from the trials and tribulations of Jamie finding and building the restaurant, the selection, training and graduation of the first intake of trainees, as well as the personal demands on Jamie's time with a baby on the way. The Fifteen program continues to flourish in London and is now running in Amsterdam and Cornwall. It has seen over 60 troubled young people graduate from the program - many of whom have gone on to continue their careers in the restaurant industry. Now after many years of planning, the Fifteen training program has been launched in Australia under the supervision of Fifteen London's original Head Chef Tobie Puttock.
