From committing a stabbing to serving michelin star food
The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme launched over 60 years ago and helps skill young people in over 144 countries world-wide. Jon Watts discovered their work while at Reading Prison, and gained Bronze, Silver and Gold while still behind bars.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire's Bill Buckley asked Jon when his love of food first started...
"I went to work in a YMCA kitchen in London during the last couple of months of my sentence, and I used my skill to cook for disadvantaged people which was interesting.
"Long story short I got a job in one of Jamie Oliver's restaurants in their early days. When I started I fell in love with the food and all of the fresh ingredients...the herbs and all the funky vegetables.
"I was working up and down the country, long long hours but I loved it - and I even took on the catering for his TV show."
