Jamie's Kitchen is a five-part television documentary from 2002 in which Jamie Oliver tries to train 15 disadvantaged young people to be chefs , and then to employ them for a year at the specially created Fifteen restaurant in London .
The program shows how the apprentices first learn the basics of product knowledge and cooking in a cooking school and what difficulties they have to struggle with. Since all of them are young people with little experience and interest in home-cooked food, Jamie Oliver organizes several trips with them, for example to a pig farm.
In a sequel, Return to Jamie's Kitchen showed how the restaurant has evolved. Of the original 15 young chefs, 5 are now still in the business: Elisa Roche, Ralph Johnson, Tim Siadatan, Ben Arthur and Warren Fleet work in good London restaurants. After the restaurant in London, other Fifteen restaurants were opened in Amsterdam (December 2004), Newquay , Cornwall (May 2006) and Melbourne (September 2006). The construction of the restaurant in Melbourne was shown in a separate series, Jamie's Kitchen Australia .
Jamie Oliver made the founding of the first restaurant possible by taking out a mortgage on his own house. The restaurants are now owned by the Fifteen Foundation. A German adaptation was published in 2010 with Christian Rach under the title Rachs Restaurantschule .
