Jamie's Ministry of Food is a four-part Jamie Oliver food docu-series that aired from 30 September to 21 October 2008, following his attempts to teach basic cooking skills to residents in Rotherham.[1][2] The title of the show is a play on the Ministry of Food that existed during the Second World War to help people eat well despite food rationing.
