Jamie Oliver’s new TV series, Together, airs on Channel 4 tonight (13 September) and each episode will see him cook something different from his newest cookbook Together.

The four-part series will see Jamie cooking meals for the frontline workers who helped us get through the Covid pandemic.

The celebrity chef shared a video on his Instagram account with his 8.7million followers to with the caption, “Tonight @channel4 8pm don't miss #JamiesTogether!!"

"In each episode, I'll be getting people together and cooking up a different chapter from my new cookbook Together. Tonight I've got my Mum, Dad, @gennarocontaldo, and some good friends over for a Summery Feast - you can find all the recipes on p154 or hit the link in my bio.”

In the video, Jamie holds a toast to his loved ones, saying, “My friends and family are finally able to get together again so I’m cooking up a most impressive celebration feast. At the heart of it is an epic slow roasted lamb shoulder, crispy potatoes and all the trimmings.”

His fans were delighted with over 110k watching the video and commenting saying things like, “So excited, I can’t wait” and “Bless you Mr Oliver, Togetherness is a precious part of life, we all need human interaction and what better way to do that than around great food and company.”

In an Instagram story to further promote the new show, Jamie says, “Together today means something very different than together a year ago. I think everyone feels the same, no matter where they live, how they live, what age they are, it means something different.”

Earlier this year, Jamie shared more information about the programme, saying, "I've been filming the new series this week, called Together and we have been cooking beautiful dinners for amazing frontline workers and it's been amazing. It's been really really special to share some quality time and be together with some midwives, young doctors, teachers, early-year teachers, volunteers.

He finished, "It has been so so nice and I've been able to meet the most lovely people and it's been just a pleasure to give them a little bit of love and cook for them and say thank you."

Jamie recently announced he was searching for a new cookbook star for another show he's working on with Channel 4.
