- Jamie Oliver Cooks the
Mediterranean premieres on Monday,
August 5th. In the series, Jamie explores the sun-drenched
flavors and traditions of some of the most varied and vibrant
cuisines in the world, where he meets the locals to taste the true
flavors of the Mediterranean.
- Jamie Oliver's 5 Ingredient Mediterranean Meals
premieres on Tuesday, August 6th. The
series is packed full of easy, delicious, and accessible recipes
that use just five everyday ingredients. And to take things to the
next level, all of the flavors are inspired by the
Mediterranean.
- The Great Cookbook Challenge with Jamie Oliver premieres on Saturday, August 17th. The series is a brand new
cooking competition format in which the UK's best undiscovered
cooks compete against each other to win a life-changing prize: a
book deal with a major UK publisher to have their very own cookbook
published. Over the course of seven episodes, cooks of all
abilities, representing all kinds of cuisines, compete for this
first-of-its-kind deal.
"Jamie Oliver is one of the most
recognized chefs in the world; we're thrilled to bring his newest
shows to US audiences for the first time and to have him back on
our channels," said Jay Holzer,
Tastemade's Head of Programming. "We could not be more excited to
partner with Fremantle to share this slate of fresh content with
our viewers who are hungry for cooking shows that are as
informative as they are fun to watch."
"I'm excited to bring some of my biggest shows to Tastemade, the
one-stop for people as obsessed with food as me," said Oliver. "A
hub full of inspiring food TV, together with delicious and trusted
recipes that will get more people cooking."
Additional titles include the evergreen series Jamie Oliver: Cooking for Less and the
holiday series, Jamie Oliver's
Easy Meals at Christmas and Jamie
Oliver's Christmas Shortcuts.
"As we continue to supercharge Jamie's brand in the US, I'm
delighted to be working with Tastemade, who are leaders in the food
space," said Zoe Collins, Managing
Director, Jamie Oliver Media Group. "This exciting new partnership
will bring Jamie's unique cooking style and his inspirational and
accessible recipes to new and engaged audiences across
America."
"Fremantle's partnership with Tastemade provides a unique
opportunity for culinary enthusiasts," said Trey Durst, Vice President of US Distribution
for Fremantle's international division. "These series showcase
Jamie's empowering and inspirational approach to cooking, and we
are so excited to bring them to US homes with Tastemade."
