Basically, the guy everyone loved to hate, and who revelled in it. He died last month, from COVID-19.

metallithrax Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Don't watch any cooking on TV, but used to love watching Ken Hom and Keith Floyd. Only ones I watch at the minute are on Youtube, Chin & Choo who show how to cook takeaway chinese at home and Epic Meal Time who make massive meals (usually with loads of bacon).

Very charming, but gets a lot of criticism from people who consider him an advocate for dumbed-down stir fries. When it comes to YouTube and other online cooks, here's a couple. Guga is a bit gushing (and owns far too many knives), but he's willing to try the most insane ideas. Vegan Black Metal Chef. Let's just say he's found his niche...

Padge Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I quite like Matt Tebbutt on Saturday kitchen, seems to relish getting p!$$3d in a morning, good he took over to James Martin who was becoming a big headed irritating prat, and he is from Yorkshire, and he is into union, and he is a big mate of another irritating prat Chris Evens. Rick Stein, his Venice to Istanbul series was brilliant and he did the cooking on one of my favourite Greek islands Symi with a magnificent view across the harbour. HIs French barge trip was very amusing. Nigela Lawson is sex over substance, annoying isn't strong enough, "don't look at the pan watch me pout."

Bleep1673 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Rick Stein, because I have eaten in Padstow, & met him, I wrote a letter thanking him & got a reply. Worrall-Thomson because my daughter loves his Shepherds pie. Most of the others come across as happy, lovey, friendly types, but not when you are working for them, that is what turned my brother away from being a chef in Marcus Waring, and Marco Pierre Whites Manchester restaurants.

Bleep1673 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I don't mind Jamie Oliver, or Nigella, I find James Martin annoyingly Yorkshire, even though he lives in Hampshire (sorry), Fearnly-Whitinstall is 10/10 annoying Nadiya I can do, because if you watch the Bake Off, she nearly got kicked off twice. Olivia Hercules is cute. Sophie Grigsons books are annoying, as are Ainsleys. Don't use them. The Pioneer Woman on the Food Channel is annoying, always cooking for her cowboy husband, and her boys who should be in school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 What really annoys me is when James Martin or Jamie Oliver go out into "Their Garden" to their log fired outside pizza oven, do they really think we have time to fire up a wood-fired pizza oven, to cook a 12 inch peice of bread? Do they really think many of us have the space in any garden space for a Pizza oven? Or even a garden? F***ing show offs. And how many kitchens does Oliver or Martin have to own for each series, do they have to change their kitchen for every series they make, is it theirs, or is it a studio?

My brother-in-law built a clay pizza oven in his garden. The first attempt did produce some some excellent pizzas, but it was served up several hours after mealtime, as he hadn't realised how long it took to get up to full heat. As for you, you could dig a firepit on the beach and have a barbecue there. Not sure the local authorities would approve, though.

Stirlin Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Oliver once said '' If anyone ever serves you un-smoked bacon throw it back at them '' I prefer unsmoked as I'm sure many others do , another classic from him '' This is the best Lasagne ever '' no it isn't , just cos you cooked it to your recipe does not make it the best.

I did a disposable BBQ, about 2 years ago on beach, as many others were doing, as it was a warm weekend, we did Tesco bought BBQ & Cajun chicken, and just sat there and nearly forgot to take my daughter back to her Mothers, such a relaxing day. Doused it with sea water, and binned it after letting it cool, and someone told me off for trying to cause a fire hazard. You could do a firepit on a sandy beach, but the ones around here are shingle/pebble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindle xiii Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I've recently broken my rule about not watching American cooking shows. Through necessity I've begun watching Giada In Italy on Food Network (Giada De Laurentiis) in this 8-10am slot. The necessities were stimulation of the mind... and well... stimulation of something else... As a show it's ok, she does that annoying thing where the Italian words are emphasised but she is Italian and brought up in California. And she mentions her daughter far too much. But y'know... schwing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
