The ‘Naked Chef’ was left rather embarrassed and frustrated yesterday at a fellow blogger who pointed out four mistakes in Jamie Oliver’s spelling. Jamie had left a message on the popular micro-blogging site, Twitter and left the following message, “anouther true story a massive amount of uk farmers use human waist as fertiliser on there land! Do any other countrys in Europe do this? Is this what people are used to.”

The blogger left a comment on Jamie’s post saying, “Not being funny fella but 4 spelling mistakes? You’re influencing a generation of young kids, you owe it them to be correct. Agree?”

The Chef who has always been seen to give support to dyslexia programs around the country, replied: “Get lost you idiot im dyslexic and i cant spell so stick that in your pipe! its better than being smug.”

Oliver left school with no qualifications before gaining a place at Westminster Catering College where he grew his talent and passion for cooking. Little did Jamie know but he was about to be a part of an exclusive group of caterers who have a massive influence on the countries cuisine and eating habits. Jamie Oliver has single handily changed the school dinner menu for younger kids encouraging them to eat more healthy.

After the Westminister Catering College job he worked as pastry chef at the well respected Antonio Carluccio’s restaurant in London’s Neal Street and went on to secure a place as a sous-chef at another top London restaurant, the River Cafe where he was discovered by a BBC documentary team. He then spent some time with a few friends specialising in their own private caterers business before fully committing himself to the ‘Naked Chef’ project on the BBC.

Oliver has spoken out about his problems with dyslexia in the past and has since regretted leaving school with no qualifications at all.

It is summer time again and it is time to start thinking of inviting a few people around for a garden party. You can hire a caterer to take of everything from appetizers to cleanup, or tap a restaurant or grocer to provide some of the food. Those kind of decisions can really save you a lot of money and fast. Be careful not to pay too much for what you are actually getting. Especially considering the current economic climate you will need to try and save as much money as physically possible.
Experts try and say that you will need a detailed and straight forward plan to work with a catering service. For example wedding catering is a very tricky business. It takes months of preparation and dedication to get one of these events correct. Making it all work smoothly is no walk in the park. In general private caterers will need certain things in place before they would even consider taking part in any sort of event. The most important thing to have in place is obviously the money yet just as important as this factor is a good venue to hold the event in. Make sure that you hire a venue suitable to house your guests and catering staff otherwise it can be a very complicated, cramped and stressful affair.
Some caterers will not work in certain venues because they are not suitable to house catering staff to work for the event. So, it is good to do research and maybe check over with the catering staff before you put any money down getting a venue all sorted out.
Be upfront about your wishes and be clear and straightforward to the caterer planners as this will only help speed along the process in getting everything sorted out.
Another good tip to look out for is to ask for references about your chosen catering company. It is crucial to find out whether other people have had good experiences from him/her.
