The only person who has sold more books in Britain than Jamie Oliver is J. K. Rowling.
Jamie has been watched and read by millions. His enthusiasm for food is often infectious. His cooking and his campaigning have changed the way we eat.
I'm speaking about Jamie with Rachel Roddy, author of a regular column on Italian food for the Guardian.
We focus mainly on how Jamie, and others, have viewed food in Italy and I ask whether this helps explain why Jamie is often seen by some people as blaming poorer individuals for what he says are bad eating habits.
In this episode we mention Alberto Grandi, Carla Tomasi and Massimo Montanari.
Rachel is the author of An A-Z of Pasta, among other books on food.

Alexis Soyer cooked for the rich and poor alike. He transformed elite restaurant kitchens in London with new technologies such as gas stoves and he provided nourishment to the starving in Ireland and the battered and the bloody during the Crimean war.
Soyer's fierce desire to feed people went against the grain of Victorian common sense and he helped change how we think about who is responsible for public nutrition today.
Joining Lewis Bassett is Pen Vogler and Miranda Carter.
Pen discusses Soyer in her book Stuffed: A Political History of What We Eat and Why it Matters and some of Soyer's recipes also appear in her book Dinner with Dickens.
Soyer is a central character in Miranda's novel The Devil's Feast.

There exists a distinctly middle class culture in Britain that has taught us to love our meat, especially if we feel guilty about eating it. But what if rather than caring for the animals we eat, we thought about animals as an exploited class who deserve justice, not a cuddle before they are slaughtered? So argues Amber Husain in Meat Love, a powerful little book that is out now.
Lewis Bassett speaks to Amber Husain about the book, whether capitalism really is a barrier to changing our food system and whether it's wrong to love your meat.
