Jamie Oliver's New Land Rover Toasts Bread and Churns Butter
Land Rover has teamed up with chef Jamie Oliver to make a one-of-a-kind Discovery SUV.
The chef and TV personality wanted a dream kitchen on wheels, and Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division made it a reality. The customized SUV features a slow-cooker, barbecue, ice cream maker, olive oil dispenser, and will even churn butter while you drive. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a toaster in the center console – something Oliver seems really happy about in the video below – along with a pasta cutter and rotisserie up front. Towards the rear, there’s a folding dining table, worktop, and gas burner.

The project was designed to show off the versatility of the seven-seater Discovery and there’s even a couple car-themed kitchen pieces like the “Piston” and Mortar set. The salt and pepper grinder is adapted from the gear shift, with P equaling pepper, and S for salt. It was actually designed from the original selector from the car.
“I gave Land Rover a massive challenge to create the ultimate kitchen on wheels. I dreamed big and asked for a lot, and what they’ve done has blown my mind,” said Jamie Oliver. “I didn’t think they’d actually be able to put a slow-cooker next to the engine and an olive oil dispenser in the rear storage space, but they did. The result is an amazing Discovery, tailored perfectly for me and my family – we love it. This unique creation means we can take our culinary adventures to the next level.”
