Jamie Oliver live 2010

I got invited to see Jamie Oliver live over the weekend and the guy's a real funny entertainer.

One of the highlights was the idea of "Pass it On". The dish? Chicken topped with some thyme, shaved cheddar cheese, and zest of lemon juice. Then place a slice of proscuitto (YUM!!) over it, gladwrap over the top and use the back of your frying pan and THUMP the meat. *THUMP*THUMP* Then fry it together with some asparagus. Once all done, place a couple of slices nicely on your gorgeous white plate, add the asparagus and you're all ready. Easy! Well it looked delicious!!! :)

And you're supposed to show 2 people how to do it, then those 2 people will each show to 2 others, and eventually everyone will know this one dish. Well eventually....

Apparently there's no such thing called Gladwrap in the UK, cos he said "its like Australians were experimental when they came up with that name?" ahaha

Plenty of freebies if you happen to be invited to eat, and cook with him... just make sure you're around the stage area punching all the others so you'll definitely get selected (JOKING!). Even the Pizza Hut delivery guy got a Jamie book! Yea he appeared pretty stunned on stage, and ermm.. I actually think he hadn't a clue who Jamie Oliver was hehee. Pizza Hut you say? Yes! Mr Oliver ordered a large pizza costing $21. Point of it? To show homemades are far healthier, cheaper and tastier. Gourmet style mmmmm :)

The only down side was some really stupid questions from the audience being thrown at him. Real embarassment :-/

The show finished with a curry dish that was still cooking and Jamie Oliver playing the drums! The guy's great at drums... *clap*clap*

Have a look at the website, I think him being here also coincides nicely with the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.
