What does Jamie Oliver campaign about? Celebrity Chefs These days, cooks and chefs can be as famous as pop stars or top footballers. The media has taken them from the anonymity of the kitchen and put them into people’s living rooms. These days there seem to be hundreds of TV shows devoted to cooking, eating, or talking about cooking and eating. The term ‘celebrity chef’ became popular during the 1990s with the growth in popularity of TV cookery programmes. Here are two of the most well-known British celebrity chefs. Delia Smith was one of the pioneers of cookery programmes and in the UK she is a household name. She is known for teaching basic cooking skills, and her main aim is to teach people who have few or no cooking skills. She shocked viewers in one programme by teaching the nation how to boil an egg. As well as being Britain’s best known TV cook, she is also the UK’s best-selling cookery author, with 21 million copies of her book sold. She began to appear on TV in the early seventies and has never been off the screen since then. In fact she is so popular that products endorsed by her often increase their sales dramatically. Her programme Delia’s How to Cook led to a 10% rise in egg sales in Britain in 1998. This power to infl uence consumers is known as the ‘Delia effect’, and advertisers use her as often as they can to promote their products. Jamie Oliver is known for his good-humoured presentation of recipes and his laid- back manner while cooking. Some people accuse him of being sloppy and messy, but his friendly manner is what viewers love. He became famous in 1999 with his TV programme and bestselling book The Naked Chef and went on to make all kinds of cookery related programmes. In Jamie at Home he combined cooking with shopping tips, gardening advice and chats with celebrity friends, always with the emphasis on home cooking with fresh, healthy ingredients from local shops and markets. He is also known for his campaign to improve food standard in national schools and his fi ght Oxford University Press España www.oupe.es To photocopy 2 Oxford University Press España www.oupe.es To photocopy 3 1 MAY 2011 against poor diets in general in the UK and the USA. His 2005 campaign for healthier school dinners (“Feed Me Better”) and his documentary “Jamie’s School Dinners” led to promises by the British government to do something about the culture of unhealthy eating in school dining halls. C. In your own words and based on the ideas of the text, answer the following questions: 1. To what does Delia Smith owe her popularity? 2. What are Jamie Oliver’s main concerns? D.

  • Celebrity Chefs As Brand and Their Cookbooks As Marketing
    Celebrity Chefs as brand and their cookbooks as marketing communications This paper discusses how consumers understand and interpret celebrity chefs as brands and utilise the cookbooks as marketing communications of the benefits and values of the brand. It explores the literature around the concept of celebrity, identifying it as something which is consciously created with commercial intent to such an extent that to suggest celebrities become brands is not hyperbole (Turner, 2004). It discusses the celebrity chef: how they are created and their identity as marketing objects (Byrne et al, 2003). It discusses common constructions of the meaning of cookbooks as historical and cultural artefacts and as merchandise sold on the strength of their associated celebrity’s brand values (Brownlee & Hewer, 2007). The paper then discusses its findings against two research objectives: first to explore the meaning of celebrity chefs for consumers and second to suggest a mechanism of how this meaning is created. Using narrative analysis of qualitative interviews this paper suggests, that consumers understand and consume the celebrity chef brand in a more active and engaged way than traditional consumer goods brands can achieve. It also suggests, as a development from tradition views of cookbooks, that those written by the celebrity chef brands are acting as marketing communications for their brand values. Defining Celebrity Celebrity is much written about by social theorists (Marshall, 1997; Monaco, 1978) and as such there are many taxonomies of celebrity which Turner (2004) and discusses at some length in his work Most interesting for this work is the concept of the Star (Monaco, 1978), fame is achieved when their public persona eclipses their professional profile in the ways of Elizabeth Hurley or Paris Hilton.

Introduction Celebrity is much written about by social theorists (McNamara, 2009; Ferri, 2010; Lawler, 2010) and as such there are many taxonomies of celebrity, which Turner (2010) discusses at length. The concept that celebrity is a ‘cultural formation that has a social function’ (Turner, 2010:11), and the contemporary significance of celebrity itself remains a key topic for debate (Couldry and Markham, 2007). Celebrities are considered as role models for millions of people, especially younger citizens (Couldry and Markham, 2007), who are the focus of this study. Pringle (2004:3) suggests that ‘celebrity sells’, and outlines the extent to which society becomes influenced by these figures due to their prevalence in everyday life. Becoming well-known public figures, where they have adversaries as well as fans (Henderson, 2011) celebrities have attracted significant literature, which is split on their benefit and detriment to society (Couldry and Markham, 2007).

Beard nurtured a genera- tion of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon, to Elizabeth and John Beard. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland’s Customs House. The family spent summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild berries, and cooking meals with whatever was caught. He studied briefly at Reed College in Portland in 1923, but was expelled. Reed claimed it was due to poor scholastic performance, but Beard maintained it was due to his homosexuality. Beard then went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years study- ing voice and theater but returned to the United States for good in 1927. Although he kept trying to break into the theater and movies, by 1935 he needed to supplement what was a very non-lucra- Biography tive career and began a catering business.

  • Post-Feminism and Cooking
    Feeling Like a Domestic Goddess: Post-Feminism and Cooking 1 Nigella Lawson has become one of the UK‟s bestselling cookery writers. A food writer for British Vogue, Lawson has published four bestselling cookery books, How to Eat, How to be a Domestic Goddess, Nigella Bites, and Forever Summer, the latter two based on the Channel 4 primetime cookery shows of the same names. She has also been a columnist for the UK Sunday newspaper The Observer (where she was frequently interpreted as representing a „feminist‟ voice), writes a beauty column for The Times and, perhaps not insignificantly for what follows, is a former member of the editorial board of Critical Quarterly. She has also gained an iconic status in the UK, becoming known simply by her first name like the UK‟s Delia (Smith) and the US Martha (Stewart). Press commentary about Nigella Lawson has extended far beyond her food writing to reflect on her heritage (she is daughter of former Tory MP, Nigel Lawson), the tragedies in her life (she lost her mother, sister and, most recently, her husband to cancer) and her love life (a well-publicized relationship with millionaire art collector, Charles Saatchi). However, most commentary betrays a fascination with her „beauty‟ (in a British survey, she was voted the 3rd most beautiful woman in the world) and with the „Nigella lifestyle‟ and what it representsi. The publication of Domestic Goddess in the UK in 2000 served to highlight the distance between feminism and cooking, at least within „the popular‟. The book provoked a huge debate in the press about the relationship between feminism, femininity and baking with Lawson being variously positioned as the pre-feminist housewife, as an anti-feminist Stepford wife, as the saviour of downshifting middle class career women, and as both the negative and positive product of post-feminism.

  • A Sensory Education
    A Sensory Education A Sensory Education takes a close look at how sensory awareness is learned and taught in expert and everyday settings around the world. Anna Harris shows that our sensing is not innate or acquired, but in fact evolves through learning that is shaped by social and material relations. The chapters fea- ture diverse sources of sensory education, including field manuals, man- nequins, cookbooks and flavour charts. The examples range from medical training and forest bathing to culinary and perfumery classes. Offering a valuable guide to the uncanny and taken-for-granted ways in which adults are trained to improve their senses, this book will be of interest to disci- plines including anthropology and sociology as well as food studies and sensory studies. Anna Harris is an Associate Professor in the Department of Society Studies at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. Sensory Studies Series editor: David Howes This series comprises cutting-edge case studies and syntheses in the emer- gent field of sensory studies. It provides an invaluable resource for those in- volved in research or teaching on the senses as object of study and/or means of inquiry. Embracing the insights of a wide array of humanities and social science disciplines, the field of sensory studies has emerged as the most com- prehensive and dynamic framework yet for making sense of human experi- ence. This series offers something for every disciplinary taste and sensory inclination.

  • Disturbing Objects
    Disturbing Objects Disturbing Objects : Making, Eating and Watching Food in Popular Culture and Performance Practice. Jenny Lawson (University of Leeds) I like baking cakes. I have been baking cakes for a long time. I try to take a cake with me wherever I go. My cakes have travelled to Lancaster, Manchester, Bracknell, Leeds, Sheffield, Surrey, Norwich, Gothenburg and Ulverston. I am going to bake you a cake and I am going to give it to you in a moment. A Journey through Food I love food; making it, eating it and now I also love watching it. My performance practice investigates food in contemporary culture, and this article is an attempt to journey through food, cooking objects and my practice, both contextualising and creatively documenting my engagements with cakes, kitchens and the dinner table. In this paper, my documentary elements are – as above – in italics. Cooking materials and foodstuffs play an essential role in everyday food practices and contribute to the formation of identities, relationships and socially and culturally accepted behaviour. My interest lies with the relationship between women and food. If we look at the influences of popular culture in the current climate, for instance the rise in food and lifestyle television programming and celebrity cooks (of which there are considerably more male than female), these popular food performances can be seen as indicative of contemporary attitudes governing food and female domestic practice. I am proposing that there is a space for performance practice to address the ramifications of popular cultural food performances to explore our relationship with food and its materiality in contemporary culture.
