Recipease - A New Way of Cooking

Jamie Oliver (our Man of the Moment in December 2008) has just launched his latest project Recipease here in the UK. Recipease is a new food and kitchen shop where you can learn to cook and make great food. You can book a lesson to come into the shop and make a meal in around 10 minutes (they have all the ingredients ready and waiting), buy freshly made food, or attend one of the longer classes to learn more about cooking.
