It has been a lot of fun working with HelloFresh to develop the recipes for this wonderful partnership. We have the same mission, and that's to better connect people with food. HelloFresh's recipes are healthy, and the recipes are broken down really simply, so even novice cooks will be able to follow them and get a great result. They've made cooking really good food from scratch, using top-quality ingredients, really accessible for busy people. My recipes for HelloFresh are nutritious and broken down really simply, so everyone will be able to follow them, and get a great result."

Be inspired and surprise your loved ones  

HelloFresh is always looking to improve the home cooking experience for their customers, whether that's through sensational new recipes, ingredients and partnerships, or by offering cooking hints and tips in their magazine and blog. The aim is for couples, friends and families to cook and eat delightful dinners together. Their partnership with Jamie Oliver gives people even more opportunities to wow their loved ones by cooking up a storm!

"It's such an exciting prospect for us to be able to offer Jamie's recipes in our boxes," said Patrick Drake, Head Chef and Co-Founder of HelloFresh. "Our customers love the fact that we send them everything they need to be able to cook delicious meals at home. And now, they'll be able to recreate top quality dishes tailored to their needs by the nation's most loved celebrity chef!"

Doing good by eating well  

One of the core elements of their partnership is educating people about food and cooking. So, for every box sold, HelloFresh will donate to Jamie Oliver's Food Foundation. HelloFresh customers will be able to help make a difference while eating well and reducing food waste.

"Everything I do is about better connecting people with food, helping them to understand where it comes from, how to cook it and what it does to our bodies", the celebrity chef makes clear.

The Jamie Oliver Food Foundation was founded in 2002. The Food Foundation is made up of three food education groups; the Kitchen Garden Project (empowering primary school teachers to integrate growing food and cooking during the school day), the Ministry of Food (a practical and hands-on community-based cooking programme that teaches people of all ages how to cook from scratch) and the Fifteen Apprentice Programme (using the magic of food to give young people a chance at a better future).

How will it work? 

Jamie Oliver's recipes will be available in all HelloFresh boxes; Classic, Vegetarian and Family. His recipes are every bit as delicious, nutritious and easy to cook in around (~30 mins.), as HelloFresh's current recipe collections.

The HelloFresh and Jamie Oliver Limited partnership extends across six countries in which HelloFresh is active - the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, USA and Austria.
