Jamie Oliver: Cooking round mine is ‘carnage’

IF there’s one person who can whip up relatively stress-free family fare, it’s telly chef Jamie Oliver, right?
Wrong! The 15 Minute Meals star may have made his name helping the rest of us conquer our culinary qualms, but he has just admitted that mealtimes round his gaff are nothing short of ‘psychological warfare’.
Jamie, 42, who has five kids with wife of 17 years Jools, told Australia’s TV Week magazine: ‘I’d say about three times out of 10 it’s really pleasant, but seven times out of 10 someone’s kicking off — it’s carnage.’

Perhaps reassuringly for the rest of us, he added: ‘Look, cooking for kids is utter psychological warfare and this thing called perfection doesn’t really exist!’
