I love to cook and bake for my family. I'm learning more and more about nutrition and implementing it into our diets.
So I am a HUGE fan (not just in size ~_^) of Jamie Oliver. He’s one of my favorite celebrity chefs. I remember watching Jamie’s Ministry of Food on the BBC channel. I was fascinated, he seemed so determined the change the how, where and what people eat. I remember thinking it would be so [...]
