All of them, with the twatty Ramsey top of the list.
I don't need to be told by these what I like and don't like, I can figure out for myself.
Waste of time and TV space.

Fave chef? (although he prefers to be labelled as a cook), is Rick Stein, he loves to cook seafood, and l love to eat it. His cookery programmes very often merge into travel guides.

Least fave? that's quite easy, that annoying Italian with the little man syndrome, Dino D'Campo.

I actually quite like Gordon Ramsey. I will happily binge kitchen nightmares (British one more than the American). For all his bluster and ego he can be pretty genuinely nice. Is always polite to waiters and waitresses and saves his anger for owners and head chefs who he thinks are taking the piss. Any hint of BS will see him fly off the handle of course.

Also enjoyed the one he did in prison.

Our latest neighbours (it’s a rented out house) is a chef who used to work in London, he worked for Ramsey and knows them all ….it’s small world apparently. He likes and really rates Ramsey, he said his former aggressive TV personality was largely for effect and not the reality in the kitchen.

Nadiya …. anyone else here rate her food progs? Currently on BBC2, everything she creates appears achievable and looks delicious.

I’ve eaten a few times at The River cafe in Hammersmith … Excellant grub and I’m sure Jamie Oliver was sous chef there.

Quite a few seasons ago, I bribed my daughter to come with me to see Fulham against some unexciting Midlands team with the prospect of lunch at The River Cafe. What I didn't reveal until we emerged from Putney Bridge tube station was that I meant the greasy spoon opposite which shares the name, if not the menu, prices and Michelin star.

We now go to a fantastic Italian cafe in Putney that would be absolutely rammed if it was in Brighton.

Can't stand Jamie Oliver, not that keen on the rest. Used to live Keith Floyd and like Paul Hollywood's travel shows, as he doesn't patronise us by showing how he cooks the natives cuisine.

I don’t like many tv chefs.

Don’t mind Tom Kerridge these days.

Jamie Oliver used to annoy me. Quite like his stuff now.

I enjoyed Marcus Waring’s recent series about his kitchen garden in East Sussex, as it’s just up the road from us and highlights a number of suppliers we shop at (should still be on iPlayer catch-up if you missed it)

I don‘t much like Rick Stein‘s programmes - I’m sure his original fish restaurant is fine, but he just appears like the clueless Brit abroad in his travel shows

Not sure you can call her a TV chef, but she does a lot of cooking on the socials...

Ive mentioned her before, but Ex GBBO contestant Lottie Bedlow does it for me. Not only is she drop dead gorgeous & a local girl, but she has a wicked sense of humour with a very naughty streak, & makes some bloody lovely looking food too.
