Who is the best celebrity chef ??

[Fourteenth Eye]

Ok, So in light of the fact that Jamie Oliver may be plaing in the all star game for Hartys testimonial, Who is the best Celebrity chef?? whose recipies float your boat. Whose sauces get your juices flowing

Over to NSC to decide

 

[Easy 10]

Never tried any of his recipes, but I do find Ramsays shows quite entertaining.
His book Humble Pie is good as well.

Wouldn't it be easier to vote for who's the worst, or most annoying?

1) Oliver
2) Harriott

Heston Blumenthal - his snail porridge is yummy

 

[CHAPPERS]

The Hairy Bikers are my FAVOURITES but considering Ramsey has all manner of Michelin Stars I'm gonna vote for him.

 

[JJ McClure]

1) Gordon "big boy" Ramsay. Yes?
Done.

 

[Stat Brother]

He's not a celeb chef, more of a food writer, but none of the above are a patch on Nigel Slater.

My favourite is Gary Rhodes but an old boss of mine sacked Ainsley Harriott not because he was useless at cooking but he couldnt make a profit. He was ok with the good cuts of meat like topside, rump etc but wouldnt do anything with the cheap cuts like shin etc.

Has to be Keith Flloyd, cant beet cooking with a glass of vino or six!

The bloke isn't even a chef (Harriot, that is) - he had some sort of comedy/music double act if I remember correctly.

Ainsley Harriott:

At sixteen, he obtained an apprenticeship at an East End restaurant and later worked as a commis (trainee) chef. However his talents lay in comedy and singing as well as cooking and Harriott formed the Calypso Twins with Paul Boross and released a record in the early 1990s, "World Party", which was a major turntable hit. The Calypso Twins went on to be regular headliners at The Comedy Store, London and Jongleurs and also performed all over America. They appeared on many TV and radio shows performing their comedy and music. Meanwhile, he continued to work as a chef, rising to head chef at Lord's Cricket Ground's Long Room when he was asked to present More Nosh, Less Dosh on BBC Radio 5.[2]

He then crossed over to television to become the resident chef on Good Morning with Anne and Nick and then as the main presenter of Can't Cook, Won't Cook and later Ready, Steady, Cook. These shows involved heavy participation with somewhat reluctant members of the public and were ideal for showcasing Harriott's rash, happy-go-lucky demeanour. However he has also presented more straightforward how-to-cook programmes such as Ainsley's Barbecue Bible, Ainsley's Meals in Minutes, Ainsley's Big Cook Out and Ainsley's Gourmet Express.


It was when he was head chef at Lords that my ex boss was Catering manager and sacked him.

I don't think there's a whole lot to chose between them but I cannot see why everybody knocks Jamie Oliver. The bloke has done his best to do good and positive things like encouraging school children to eat more heathily as well as tring to get young people with little hope of a life to get into his industry.

Unlike some he's not prone to swearing his head off at the drop of a hat either.

Nigella is my current fave. Her Pork chops in cider & mustard sauce with gnocci is the food of the gods !!!

Ok, he had done some cheffing, my mistake. I would kinda like to see a definition of "a major turntable hit", I've never heard of it.
