Jonathan Ross welcomes Jamie Oliver, Stuart Broad, Ricky Gervais and Mika as Friday Night With Jonathan Ross returns tonight on BBC One after its summer break.
Jamie Oliver condemns Gordon Brown’s kitchen at the G20 banquet: “They’ve got the worst kitchens in England at Number Ten; terrible. Wandsworth Prison has better gear than Downing Street!”
Jonathan Ross is in for a treat this Thursday. Jamie Oliver is recording a segment for Ross’s returning chat show and is planning to serve bulls’ testicles to the TV presenter.
A spokesman for Jamie told MSN: “It’s a big hit with the cowboys of the Wild West and although the recipe isn’t in Jamie’s new book, he felt it was the perfect thing to cook up on Jonathan’s show.”
The dish is known as Rocky Mountain Oysters and Jamie first heard of it whilst recording his current Channel 4 series, Jamie’s American Road Trip.
Jamie Oliver is on the culinary journey of a lifetime as he discovers the heart of America, through its people, culture, music and – most importantly – its food. The six-part series is more than a straightforward cooking and travel show as Jamie delves deep into the social issues and diverse cultures of 21st-century America. In the first edition he visits Los Angeles. The city is synonymous with glitz and glamour. But Jamie experiences a very different version of the American Dream a few miles east of the Hollywood sign among America’s largest concentration of Mexican immigrants.

Celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver has discovered that he has African roots. In fact he is sixth generation Sudanese.
He made the discovery whilst filming his new Channel 4 show, Jamie’s American Road Trip.
He said: “As it happens, there are quite a few Olivers who are a bit swarthy and have got curly hair.
The newest offering from Jamie Oliver and Channel 4 is about to hit our screens. Jamie’s American Road Trip kicks off next week and we know that there will be huge demand (and about 1,000 emails) for the recipes from the show.
Luckily Jamie has documented his journey around the states and published a book with 120 brand new recipes, and Jamie’s diary narrative running alongside. This will be a celebratory cookbook of a country with a wide food heritage.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has hit out at one of his Twitter followers that criticised his spelling.
A poster called “funditfrog” drew attention to four spelling mistakes made by Oliver, adding: “You’re influencing kids, you owe it them to be correct.”
But Jamie replied: “Get lost you idiot im dislexic and i cant spell so stick that in your pipe! its better than being smug.”
Britain’s pig farmers are going out of business. In this 90-minute programme Jamie Oliver wants to find out why; and to support farmers and help consumers to make better-informed choices by showing exactly how pigs live and die to put pork, ham and bacon on our plates.
Celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver has confirmed that he is keen to put an end to his campaigns and crusades.
Oliver says that he and his family feel that it is time to go back to cooking, however he keeps being drawn back into campaigns by the numerous organisations and charities asking him for help.
“I want to stop and everyone else in my life wants me to stop, mainly Mum and Dad and the people I work with,” Oliver told Celebs On Sunday magazine. “I think they see it as a very negative part of my life because it attracts flak from the press.
Jamie Oliver has defended himself against critics who blasted him for swearing 23 times during a recent episode of Ministry Of Food. He has said that people should not expect him to act like David Attenborough when he just wants to be himself.
Oliver pointed out that he does not swear during his cookery programmes but does during documentary shows where he is emotionally connected to the subject matter.
“There was a lot of swearing in Ministry but I was incredibly emotionally attached to it. When I am making these documentaries I never think about what is appropriate, I’m just wearing my heart on my sleeve,” he told The Mirror.
One year on from the start of Big Food Fight season, Channel 4’s latest recruit, Heston Blumenthal joins the line-up in January for a follow-up, the Great British Food Fight, which aims to celebrate the best of British food and explore issues around food production.
Launching on 19th January, chef Heston Blumenthal, who has three Michelin stars, sets out to transform the menu of the troubled Little Chef chain of roadside restaurants in Big Chef, Little Chef.
Last night I watched the double helping of Nigella’s Christmas Kitchen followed by Jamie Cooks Christmas and I have to say, I believe Nigella won in terms of content and general Christmassy enthusiasm. By the end of her shows, I was convinced that even a culinarily challenged cook like myself could knock out a passable turkey on the big day.
Nigella waxed lyrical and lovingly about her recipes, often appearing tousled and dressed in a silky dressing gown to simulate those Christmas Day early morning dashes into the kitchen between gifts to do obscene things to turkey.
Budgets may be tight, but Jamie Oliver’s determined to show how to make this Christmas amazing but inexpensive in this hour-long special packed with his favourite festive dishes. The chef’s Essex home is wreathed in decorations and he’s cooking food for the whole season, with help from his mentor, Gennaro Contaldo. As well as Christmas classics, Jamie has some ingenious ways – beyond turkey sandwiches – to make the most of some of your key ingredients, like a zesty Asian-style warm turkey salad for Boxing Day and a tasty turkey and leek pie.

Now, I don’t know about you but all the TV celeb chefs put me under pressure at Christmas. I feel I should produce fabulous food and I try, I really do, but it just doesn’t happen.
For instance, in the past I’ve tried making the weird and wonderful stuffing recipes that chefs like Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson say are very quick and easy to make… well, they aren’t. Mine ended up tasting how I imagine the lining of a sandal would.
According to today’s Daily Mail, TV chef Jamie Oliver’s swear words will be cut from all his future programmes.
Jamie has recently been heavily criticised for his frequent use of profanities during his shows and so his programme’s producers have said that they intend to edit out any swearing.
A recent episode of Jamie’s Ministry Of Food apparently featured the ‘F word’ no less then 23 times so in response to complaints, Zoe Collins – boss of Fresh One Productions, which is owned by Jamie and which produces his programmes – has said she would be “much more mindful” about Jamie’s on-air swearing.
Jamie Oliver’s back this Christmas and he’s preparing a festive feast with help from his friend and mentor Gennaro Contaldo, and Brian the gardener.
In an hour-long special, Jamie’s also joined by free range turkey farmer Paul Kelly, and free range goose doyenne Judy Goodman.
