Who is your favourite celebrity chef?

[Mabellavender]

Mine is nigella!

I just love everything about her and her food. Her recipes always turn out perfect for me and I love how in depth her books are and the little descriptions with each recipe.

Jamie also has a half go success rate here, kids love everything I’ve ever made by him, but the long lists of ingredients can make feeding a large family very expensive l, and I don’t mind spending a fair bit on food!

Tom kerridge recipes are nice but I can’t watch him on tv, his wet mouth and chunky thighs make me feel .

Who’s recipes never fail for you and who do you love watching?

Nigel Slater. His series when he made food from leftovers was hilarious. His leftovers were not anything like my fridge the day before food shopping!

Oh how could I forget Ina garten! not watched her for years!

Hairy Bikers have great recipes and seem like genuinely nice men, they’re so down to earth and look like they really enjoy the food when they try it.

Sorry if the comments bout Tom kerridge upset anyone but that’s the way I feel as op said he is just generally moist

PP! Not OP!

Love Nigel slater and his carefully wrapped pieces of meat in brown paper and string

HFW I find slightly boring, he does too much veggie stuff.

James Martin is a prick and yes I do know him personally.

Delia Smith. No-one else comes close.

I love to watch rick stein and the hairy bikers on their travels. Particularly when they are somewhere on the med cooking with grandmothers who don’t speak a word of English.

I would love to stay overnight in Nigel Slater's house. A lovely supper with wine and chat, then a leisurely brunch the next morning with all his little waxed packages and bags of goodies.

I can't watch Rick Stein anymore after the demise of the lovely Chalky (sob).

Can’t stand nigella or Gordon Ramsey at any price.
I like Jamie Oliver his recipes are good easy to follow and we use them all the time.
Hairy bikers and Hugh fearnly Whittington are good too.

Awwww Chalky ☹️ I do like Rick Stein but for some reason I really don’t like his son.

Nigella - when I do my Christmas baking weekend , I have her series on the kitchen tv just to put me in the mood . Plus her recipes seem to work for me .

Jamie too , I love his enthusiasm .

Nigel Slater , not so keen . I love his writing , love his books , in fact his Fast Food was the book that launched my cookery book addiction, but somehow , I can’t watch him.

Anyone for Heston then?

My DC eyeroll when I "Nigel" something onto the plate . Instead of just dolloping food , I ease it off the spoon a la Mr Slater. It has to look like it leaves the spoon of its own accord in its eagerness to be eaten.

Or if DS back is turned I make little Jenga Towers with his chips .

I absolutely adore Raymond Blanc. I love how he chuckles over nothing all the time and I smile every time he exclaims "et voila!!"

I can't stand nigella. That daft smile she plasters in all the time just turns my stomach and the whole spoon licking, sexual stuff she does just makes me want to twat her one 😂😂😂

Number 1 has to be Marco Pierre White for me, I would struggle to out someone in 2nd next to him tbh. I can't be doing with Gordon Ramsey and I wish Jamie Oliver would disappear off the face of the earth. Raymond Blanc is a worthy mention.

Jack Monroe and Miguel Barclay, oh and Allegra McEvedy are all fab for every day cooking too.

I want to marry Nigel Slater. He can stay gay that’s ok as long as he cooks. Love his cookbooks.
Like James Martin and his books.
Love Marcus Waring ate at his restaurant once.

I love Nigel's herb garden.

Not a euphemism.

I like Giorgio Locatelli for his enthusiasm and exuberance, and the unusual combinations he adds to classic dishes. I especially enjoyed the programmes that he did with Andrew Graham-Dixon.

I like Nige too, because he thinks about what he's doing and why, and he bares his soul a little bit.

I'm not keen on the Hairy Bikers, they shout too much for comfort, and it all seems a bit too much of an ego trip for Rick Stein though I know most chefs have huge egos, and I'm not keen on the chap who does Master Chef either, though I'm sure they are all lovely in real life.

Nigel Slater, though Rick Stein a runner up

Marcus Wareing very sexy

Anthony Bourdain for role in The Big Short

Marco Pierre White - the rock god of the kitchen

Tommy Banks. He doesn't need to cook anything, he can just stand there in his apron.....

Gordon Ramsay, Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti.

I do like John Torode too.

Jamie Oliver can get in the sea.

Forgot about Heston, I like him. Very innovative.

Ah yes, Raymond’s “et voila” gets me every time, as does his constant need for praise from Adam 😂
