Today’s Guardian Books section features a huge profile and interview with Britain’s Jamie Oliver. If ever you were curious about any of his formative experiences or business ventures, past, present or future, this piece does a solid job of filling in any gaps. I wasn’t aware that Oliver has a new Italian cookbook coming out in the UK next week. The article notes that the book is to contain 41 photos of Oliver. “Even by Nigella's standards, that is a lot,” says the Guardian’s Simon Hattenstone. There is apparently a show to accompany the book, as well.
