I'm just back from a whirlwind trip to
Australia and I had the most amazing time. I finally got to see the
fantastic Ministry of Food Centre in Ipswich and had the pleasure of
meeting Premier of Queensland Anna Bligh, who's been really supportive of
Ministry of Food and the Good Foundation. I also got to see the brilliant
new Ministry truck in Logan – so huge thanks to all the Ministry staff out
there for making me feel so welcome.
Next was Sydney, where we had a big party
at Jamie's Italian with incredible food, brilliant service and 170 really
lovely, interesting guests – the wonderful restaurant team did me proud. I
also did a "secret" recording for Australian Masterchef. I won't
give anything away, but look out for the programme in June – it was a
fantastic day.
Last stop was Melbourne, where I visited
some of my retail partners and attended a news conference to announce a new
Ministry of Food initiative in the state of Victoria, where we'll launch a
new centre and another truck later this year. It was a huge pleasure to
meet the Premier of Victoria, Ted Baillieu, and the Health Minister, David
Davis – these guys are imaginative, focused politicians and I wish we had
more people like them here in the UK. I had an incredible time in all of
these lovely cities, so thank you to everyone who made the trip such a
success – you know who you are.
Big love,
Jamie O xx
