New Jamie series to focus on fast meals

Jamie Oliver's new TV show will see him cook healthy meals in just 15 minutes.

The TV chef - who had a best-selling book with Jamie's 30-Minute Meals' - will host 'Jamie's 15-Minute Meals', which will air on Channel 4 in a daytime slot in the autumn.

Sources say the show will be "pushing the concept of fast, nutritious, everyday food to the next level".

A Channel 4 spokesman added: "Each half-hour episode will offer two 15-minute meals back to back."

As well as 'Jamie's 15-Minute Meals', it was recently revealed the father-of-four is developing a new BBC America reality show called 'Chef Race: UK vs. US'.

The new show will feature 16 chefs from the UK and US, battling it out for a $100,000 (€78,000) cash prize.

Contestants will be given no money and few resources as they race cross country from Los Angeles to New York.

Jamie Oliver is producing the reality series via his Fresh One production company.
