About this episode

Chef Jamie Oliver discusses his journey, challenges, and the impact of food on health and community.

For our season finale, we're excited to welcome Jamie Oliver - one of the most recognized chefs in the world and a global food icon who’s used his platform to educate, advocate, and inspire. In this episode, Kappy sits down with this legend to trace his extraordinary journey: from growing up in a rural English pub kitchen (literally) to transforming food education and policy across the globe. They explore the impact of dyslexia, the challenges of raising five kids while staying grounded, and why his latest book, Eat Yourself Healthy , is about so much more than what’s on your plate. At the heart of his story is the belief that food is a force for good - for our bodies, our families, and our communities. Enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Plate… with Chef Jamie Oliver .
