'Who we are and how it began'
In 2003 Sarriel Taus and Coen Alewijnse were captivated by an article they read about a project lead by the world famous chef Jamie Oliver. When they realised this was a perfect form of social responsible entrepreneurship their interest turned to enthusiasm and passion. Fed by their affinity for this form of business, they were inspired to create a Dutch version of Jamie Oliver's project: a combination restaurant (Fifteen Amsterdam) and a chef's school for young people struggling to find opportunities in the greater region of Amsterdam. This finally resulted in a partnership with Fifteen London in which the English partners were prepared to lend their name and know-how to the restaurant in Amsterdam. At the 14th of December 2004 the official launch was a fact with the signature of Jamie Oliver on the wall of the restaurant.
