Jamie Oliver Hosting New Meat-Free Cooking Show!

From meat-free Mondays to a jump in British people turning vegan, eating only veggies is

obviously more than just a passing trend.

It’s recently been estimated that there are three million vegetarians in the UK, but there are even more people going “flexitarian” (eating meat occasionally and ethically) and other people who simply just love to cook up an all-veg menu.

It’s an idea that Jamie Oliver has tapped into, with a new cook book and a new Channel 4 series about meat-free living.

Here’s everything you need to know about the all-new Oliver programme:

When is is on?

Jamie’s Meat-Free Meals started on Channel 4 on 2 September at 8.30pm, and continues at the same time and place every Monday for a total of eight episodes.

What’s the big idea?

Jamie Oliver is on a mission to change the way we think about veg. It’s better for our health, it’s better for the planet and it tastes delicious – so what are we waiting for?

Veg certainly doesn’t need to be a side dish to meat – it can steal the show in its own right. In this series Jamie cooks up a stunning collection of beautifully vibrant, hearty and healthy veg dishes that we can all add to our kitchen repertoires.

He finds inspiration from across the country and around the globe, meeting people who excite him with new ways to cook with vegetables.

Which of his cookbooks is the new series inspired by?

Veg: Easy & Delicious Meals for Everyone, which Oliver released last month. The book contains more than 100 easy, flavour-packed and accessible vegetable recipes. 

The publisher says: “From simple suppers and family favourites, to weekend dishes for sharing with friends, this book is packed full of phenomenal food – pure and simple. Whether it’s embracing a meat-free day or two each week, living a vegetarian lifestyle, or just wanting to try some brilliant new flavour combinations, this book ticks all the boxes.

What recipes are in the new book?

There’s veggie chilli, bhaji burgers, greens mac ‘n’ cheese, veggie pad thai, spinach pancakes and summer tagliatelle.

He told GQ about creating new cookbooks: “Before I begin the book process, I ask two questions: who is it for and what questions are we answering? Then, because I’m quite visual, I go to a blank room and start to write things on paper, stick it to the walls and move things around, kind of like a manual Pinterest board.
