Jamie Oliver, Jamie Kennedy to Collaborate on Television Series

World-renowned celebrity chef Jamie Oliver announced today that he'll be teaming up with Toronto's own Jamie Kennedy to film a new reality series, to be titled Jamie and Jamie's Local Food Revolution. The ten-part series is designed to teach school-age children about nutrition and local food sources in a hands-on way, by feeding them meals that consist solely of ingredients the children have gathered, processed or preserved themselves.

We'll take them to the pasture to meet the cows, and then to the barn to do the milking," says Kennedy. "They'll make raw artisanal goat yogurt and sheep's milk keffir. Of course, they won't get true cheese unless the series gets extended into further seasons."

"They'll also get to butcher a whey-fed Berkshire pig," he adds.

"The kiddies'll be out in their little wellies foraging in the woods for ramps and morels and summer berries," says Oliver. "I think they'll be really motivated, because they know that whatever they gather, that's all that will be on their dinner plate, yeah?"
