This DVD contains 7 classic episodes from his Oliver’s Twist TV series as seen on the Food Network.

“I think that the show’s success is down to me being me – an extraordinary bloke who’s just passionate about good food – and people can relate to that. Even now, blokes who’ve never done more than open a packet come up to me and tell me that they have got started cooking. That’s the best result ever as all I ever wanted to do was to make food accessible to everyone; to show that you’ll be able to make mistakes – I do at all times – but it doesn’t matter.” -Jamie Oliver

One could do worse than be a part of Jamie Oliver’s life. His daughter’s babysitters are treated to the young chef’s gourmet-chocolate tiramisu, his hard-partying mates drag themselves to morning-after fry-up feasts and Bloody Mary pitchers, and his band (London’s Scarlet Division) fill up on exquisite vegetarian cuisine. This collection of seven Oliver’s Twist episodes, originally broadcast in America on the Food Network, are enormous fun, grounded in the gregarious star’s daily life of family, friends, mentors, suppliers–even the local cops. Absolutely everyone parades through Oliver’s surprisingly modest kitchen to dine on lovingly prepared masterworks fusing tradition with improvisational brilliance. Whether the menu calls for high tea, a Bollywood theme night, or a gorgeous health-food breakfast, Oliver’s affection for his work and his people makes for addictive viewing. –Tom Keogh
