[Food] Favourite TV Chef

[Doug-ees-evil]

What no Raymond Blanc? WTF.

Like Nigel Slater, whose recipes create food that is better than most chefs.

Nigel Slater wrote 3 of my top 8 ‘go to’ cook books. No one else scored higher than a 1.

I was interested, so I looked it up.

'Dopamine diet' explained as Tom Kerridge credits it with his 12st weight loss

Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge credits his impressive 12st weight loss with something known as the 'dopamine diet', but what is it, and can it really help you lose weight?

www.mirror.co.uk

No mention of him putting weight back on there (from Feb), so what made you think he has?

The size of him when he was judging the Great British menu.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Has he put a bit of timber back on then?

He was enormous, but lost over 10 stone IIRC. I doubt he's out that much back on, but happy to be corrected.

Back up to 22 stone.

I’ve never heard of some of them, and there are others where I was aware of the name, but didn’t know they were chefs. Don‘t do cookery programmes on the TV.

and it’s racist! What about Nadia Hussein? Madhur Jeffrey?

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Me, obviously!

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Me, obviously!

Oh yes

You missed out the legends that were:

Graham Kerr (the galloping gourmet) and
Keith Floyd and
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

You lazy wet ponce

I had the Beef Wellington at Ramsay’s and it was the best meal I ever had.

And a nice bottle of wine....to boot?

What are your other 5?

 

[DanR]

Keith Floyd. It's criminal he's not there

 

[lawros left foot]

Keith Floyd

I took part in one of his Floyd on fish programmes.


The man was an arrogant, nasty, bully.

He nearly reduced his assistant to tears, so much so, that the Royal Marine Corporal on our course was going to take him to one side and forcibly explain that you don’t treat people that way.

 

[lawros left foot]

Albert Roux.

End of thread.

I voted Rick Stein for his food ( his India and France offerings are outstanding), though I do find his personality a bit stunted... he looks, at times, as though he just wants to get finished and away from the great unwashed public.

PS: fave TV chef restaurant.... No 6 in Padstow.. Paul Ainsworth... been 4 times now, will go again soon.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

What on earth is Gregg Wallace doing on that list? . . . the man is a greengrocer. certainly not a chef!
