Best Chef on TV

[BensGrandad]

With so many cooking programs on TV who is the best or favourite chef. Wife has recorded and watched Lets do Christmas with Gino and Mel and Gino D'ACAMPO is my current favourite.

Interesting that I read he or his company is the 2nd biggest importer of Italian food in the UK.

Rusty Lee.

Lets be having you? DS?

The utterly brilliant Nigel Slater for me.

Although I emjoy programs about food a lot and like learning new recipes, ingredients etc I do think most TV chefs come across as utter arseholes and I try to blank them out as much as possible when watching the programs. Nigel Slater is OK I guess although he seems to think everybody does their food shopping in Knightsbridge. I like it when they repeat old Keith Floyd stuff

Nigella - for her cooking skills obviously

Nigella Lawson.....is fifty-two years old. FIFTY-TWO. That is all.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Lorraine Pascal curdles my cream.

 

[Benson]

Clancey Wiggum gets my vote.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Heston Blumenthal.

I think Jamie Oliver is pucker

I think Jamie Oliver is pucker

He certainly is an irritating pucker. I get urges to throw things at the tv when he's on it... That said his food is generally ok and fairly easy to make. His 'fantastic' fish pie is awesome...

If you like your food covered in olive oil, lemon juice and chilli...no matter what your food is, Jamie Oliver is your man. I do like his "just throw a bit of that in" style of cooking though.

Surely the answer to the question "Who's the best chef" is Heston Blumenthal - if you run one of the best restaurants in the world, then you're clearly ahead of the field.

If you're talking about which chef makes the most interesting food. I also like Lorraine Pascal's simple dishes - not top-quality cuisine perhaps but simple and quick to make at home

Another vote for Nigel Slater, quick simple food made interesting

Another vote for Nigel Slater, quick simple food made interesting

I read Gordon Ramsey's autobiography a few years back and he was asked this very same question. He said Nigel Slater as well, but added the caveat that he's more a "cook" than a chef.

Jamie Oliver, and his show with Jimmy is on tonight at 9pm C4 guest Gwyneth Paltrow - which looks pretty funny.
Also my wife made it, so I'm kinda proud

 

[Notters]

Michel Roux easily. But I prefer Jamie. Can't stand that Gino idiot.
