ReZourceman Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Who are your favourites? Entertainment wise I think Gordon Ramsays latest series' have been fantastic, and must sees, The F Word and US Kitchen Nightmares come to mind first. Hes amazing. Actual food wise, I go weak at the knees at Gary Rhodes. Absolutely amazingly skilled, really nice food, nice format just nice, plain and easy to follow, and he has a gentle voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 watching his shows i thought jamie oliver was great, but actually having cooked some of his recipes they aren't that great. tomorrow I making a meal for a few of my friends, i'm using a jamie oliver recipe for carrots, gordon ramsey for the gravy, delia smith for the potatoes, anthony worral thompson for the other potatoes and jamie is back in again for the pudding (The muffins I baked earier today). On the whole I think gordon ramsey and gary rhodes recipes are the most flavoursome and well worth the effort. i would also like to note that all the celebrity recipes i'm using are getting a big lump of me thrown in too rather than shameless copying!

EEVILMURRAY Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I am dissappointed with Rhodes for losing his pr0 hair. From the lovely Tate & Lyle days. I love Kitchen Nightmares. Just the way he stands in their face and swears his arse off. It's inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Kitchen Nightmares is a great programme. He's actually incredibly clever to be able to turn around seemingly any restaurant he walks into. Not anyone could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Man i'd punch Ramsey in the face if I got a chance, really pisses me off that guy. I never seen anyone more committed to trying to prove he's not gay. I remember one time on one of his thing when he took his kid shooting. Biting my bloody fist I wanted to hit him so much. I like Oliver, seems like a nice guy and used what would seem like a fairly un-influential position and actually tried to make a change. Good man.

Jamba Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nigel Slater is the man for me. Really great approach to food because its all made to be really tasty and homely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navarre Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Ramsay, for the US version of Kitchen Nightmares. He's just sooooo rude and funny. I hate Jamie Oliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Don't really watch any cooking programs (though we have a Jamie Oliver cooking book, that we've never used). Did see two episodes of US Kitchen Nightmares though... funny. One even had violence with a guy attacking someone, so hooray. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letty Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nigella Lawson is my favourite She has the best recipies for comfort food, and has other good assets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirited away Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Heston Blumenthal: I love how he incorparates scientific knowledge into his food, to try and conjure up the most amazing meal you've ever tasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nigella would most certainly enjoy one of The Don's mighty cream torrents. Kitchen Nightmares is a great programme. He's actually incredibly clever to be able to turn around seemingly any restaurant he walks into. Not anyone could do that. The bit I love is when he "changes" the interior. Most times all that happens is that he's rotated the tables round a bit and changed the tablecloths to red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Can't believe nobody has mentioned Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall yet. Utter legend. However, Gordon Ramsey has to be my favourite celebrity chef simply due to the amount of passion he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nigella Lawson is my favourite She has the best recipies for comfort food, and has other good assets... She's so utterly gorgeous.. And just a little bit crazy, which is definitely a good thing ^^ I love her shows, its just a shame she's not on more often. And the "assets" are rather impressive I must say.

Guest bluey Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 nigella lawson always creeps me out... it's just... something about her... she's really.... starey... and spacey.... like she's trying to decide whether to finish baking the cake or to knife you... O___________o *hides* i dont know any of these people! i used to not like jamie oliver 'till jamba cooked me some fish casseroley thingy from his book - it was so good! i nearly proposed!

Rummy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nigella Lawson is my favourite She has the best recipies for comfort food, and has other good assets... Oh yeahh, she has some pretty tasty 'recipes'... I've posted solely to say that(if anyone saw law of the playground the other day, they might get the joke why), as I don't follow celebrity chefs/cooking much, I also cannot cook for shit, so maybe there's a relation.

Supergrunch Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Personally I find celebrity chefs annoying - I don't care about the people, I just want to know how to make the food. The best food program should just be like one of those science videos where they show you how to do experiments, with the head out of shot and ideally Look Around You style narration. That said, I do watch celebrity chef shows when I have the chance, because nothing like the above exists. They all tend to be slightly irritating but make nice food.

Tom Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Heston Blumenthal: I love how he incorparates scientific knowledge into his food, to try and conjure up the most amazing meal you've ever tasted. i love how he combines both the artistic side of cooking with the fact that is essentially just chemistry. really intersting stuff. it think he possibly takes it too far though!
