For his contributions to better eating at school, his social enterprise restaurant Fifteen and his vision to change the way we consume, TED has announced that Jamie Oliver will be the winner of their 2010 prize.
In addition to his television and cooking shows, Jamie founded the Fifteen Foundation, a social enterprise & chef apprenticeship for 18-24 yr olds. Based in London, it has been replicated through franchising in Amsterdam, Cornwall and Melbourne.
The prize grants him $100,000 and “a wish to change the world.” He’ll unveil the wish on February 10 at TED2010. (via PSFK)
