Live Webchat with Jamie Oliver this Friday 15th October between 9 and 10 am.

[RachelMumsnet]

We're delighted to announce that Jamie Oliver will be joining us on Mumsnet on Friday 15th October for an early brunch between 9 and 10 am. Jamie's groundbreaking new book Jamie's 30 Minute Meals is now on sale and his TV series of the same name begins tonight on Channel 4 at 5.30pm and runs daily on week days for four weeks. Jamie needs no further introduction to Mumsnetters; you've discussed everything from his School Meals Campaign to his baby name choices. Now's your chance to put your questions to the man himself. If you can't join us next Friday, post your questions to Jamie in advance on this thread.

Hi Jamie - am loving your American Revolution. Genuinely feared for your life when watching the first episode - don't your realise those people have guns! one of my thoughts as I watched through my fingers!

Wondered what your opinion was on the "low fat" drive that sees our kids consuming vast amounts of processed stuff bulked out with crap and sweetners when many people are coming round to thinking that it's the amount of high fructose corn syrup/sugar loaded drinks and snacks and empty carbs that are contributing to the obesity epidemic?

I would rather my child had a bowl of strawberries and full fat double cream and truly enjoyed it rather than a plasticy, saccharine-sweet low fat strawberry yoghurt.

I didn't know there was such a 'drive' but I'm with you - so long as the full fat cream isn't every day.

That's all folks

He came back??!!??!?!

pssst his new book is only £8.99 in Sainbos at the mo.

Hey he came back to answer my question, what a decent bloke.

MNHQ, I don't know if this has been said, but if not, please convey to Jamie that if he ever needs MNers to help out with anything (eg testing recipes, spreading the word about campaigns) we would be happy to help.
I think a lot of us feel we owe him one after so many great meals and anyway we are right behind him on most of these campaigns

Answer mine answer mine answer mine.

was going to say, shouldn't he be taking over bedtime duties now, jules must be knackered and it is friday

Thanks very much for answering my question after the official webchat.

I will definitely definitely be going to the new restaurant in St Albans next summer - how exciting!

yet another poncey restaurant for st albans like it needs one more

I want to know if it is Jules or Jools.

Both have been used on this thread. Not that it is important, just being nosy.

Poncey? St Albans?

oh he is ADORABLE.

and yes, Jamie, if you're reading, there is a 'drive', where we are living, towards encouraging parents to put low-fat stuff in their kids' lunchboxes. we are a bit about it.

Wow he came back! How fab. He still hasn't answered my question yet but how wonderful he came back. :smile:

I am a BIG Jamie fan, so I've enjoyed reading this.

Great webchat.

not too hard lady - the right one is still sore from my accident

you poor thing. although it does give me quite the physical advantage...

be careful....i'm vewy fwagile....[bambi eyes]

oops.

Gosh! he's fab!

apart from his abiding love of fellow hotel and catering graduate Gina F...

Blast! I missed this.

This has got to be one of the best webchats MN has ever has. Thanks Jamie, for taking this seriously and answering so many questions.

Your new book has just been released here in NZ this week and your new TV show is about to start screening here, so I'm looking forward to a few months of inspiration!

MmeBITB Jamie used "Jools" in one of his answers so that must be the official version.

Great webchat - I am currently watching J's American Revolution on youtube...
