" Specialty: Organic and natural cuisine The Naked Chef series might not be in production any more, but the nickname has stuck: Chef Jamie Oliver can&amp;#039;t seem to escape it, no matter how hard he tries. (No, the chef does not cook in the nude. The title refers to the ingredients, unmasked, uncovered, and at their best with natural flavors.)  Growing up in England, Oliver helped his parents out at their local pub, prepping and helping with meals and orders. Passionate about food, he went to Westminster Kingsway College for formal culinary studies. After graduation, he apprenticed at Neal Street Restaurant and later at the River Caf\u00E9 in London.  It was at the River Caf\u00E9 that a television producer first spotted Oliver, and the Naked Chef was born. A wild success, the series showcased Oliver&amp;#039;s trademark cuisine: hearty, simple dishes made with natural ingredients, all prepared in a casual setting or with friends. A companion book, also titled The Naked Chef, was soon released, as well as a follow-up series, Return of the Naked Chef.  In 2002, Oliver created a new television project, Jamie&amp;#039;s Kitchen, a five-part documentary series. He worked with disadvantaged youths in the kitchen, training them and helping them gain new skills. If the youngsters made it through the program, Oliver would hire them for his London restaurant, Fifteen. A majority of the participants completed, and Oliver has since launched similar programs and restaurants in Amsterdam, Melbourne, and Cornwall.  Oliver continues to use his fame to promote social causes. In 2008, he completed a television special, Jamie&amp;#039;s Fowl Dinners, about the importance of free-range chickens and ethical farming. More notably, he&amp;#039;s worked with the British government to improve school meals and nutrition for children. A documentary series, Jamie&amp;#039;s School Dinners, which followed Oliver as he took over the menu at a school cafeteria for the course of a year, raised awareness of the issue.
