Who is the most annoying tv cook/chef?

I'm convinced it's Sophie Dahl.

I'm currently suffering sitting through an episode of her show and I already want to ram a kitchen implement somewhere that will be painful and unpleasant for her.

She talks the biggest load of waffle ever. And if she mentions her holiday in Martha's Vineyard once more I'm going to hurl myself or possibly just the tv out of the nearest window.

Your nominations please.

Delia Smith.

It's all the sibilant s's.

Listen to her bang on about asparagus and sausages and it will drive yer mad.

Plus her food is so damn boring.

Also Nigel Slater. Now I love and adore his books - he writes so brilliantly. But on telly he is like an Alan Bennett charicature.

Sorry, but Jamie Oliver gets right on my nerves

MoonFaceMama · 07/07/2010 15:11

delia can't say hummous. Who-oo-moose. Wtf?

"Let's be 'avin ya!" ha!

MoonFaceMama · 07/07/2010 15:14

dahl's a nob.

flibbertigibbert · 07/07/2010 15:18

Nigella Lawson - for her extreme smugness and all the mountains of butter and cream in the food.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable at seeing someone eat an entire caramel crossaint pudding in bed? Maybe it's just because I had binge eating issues, but her attitude to food makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

MoonFaceMama · 07/07/2010 15:19

don't mind jamie. He's good with people on his america and jamie does series. Unlike ramsey, who was a national embarrasment when he did the india programmes. Though i wouldn't say no. Bad moonface.

Big Cock Little Cock.

Ainsley Harriott.....susie salt and percy pepper....what am I, age 7 ffs?

taffetacatski · 07/07/2010 17:46

Delia irritates me, esp when she says add the x to join the y as if they are about to have a get together.

Gary Rhodes used to really get on my wick, he was too primpy and fussy and used to handle all the food like a small kitten in a really precious way.

My fave were the 2 Fat Ladies. Would never cook their stuff, but they were a joy to watch.

catinthehat2 · 07/07/2010 18:06

Heston Blumenthal every time.

USed to be Gary Rhodes.

I am glad I do not wash up after them.

Itsjustafleshwound · 07/07/2010 18:13

Anthony Worral Thomp- whatsit (all he needs is another T name) and his arch nemesis Gordon Ramsey (it's not big and it's not funny)

hifi · 07/07/2010 18:28

ainsley harriot,i fancy heston.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 07/07/2010 18:33

Gary Rhodes, definitely. Which is a shame, as I quite like the look of some of his food.

I do agree that it is completely wrong that Nigella can eat the way that she does, and still retain that figure.

MrsJohnDeere · 07/07/2010 18:37

Rachel Allen.

Nigella's a pig, she really is. I don't find her annoying, and I like her programs because her recipes are so simple and nice, but by God is she greedy. Do people actually wake up in the middle of the night to wolf down cold food from the fridge?

winstonstimpson · 07/07/2010 18:41

definitely Ainsley for the Sally Salt thing and also Sophie Dahl for just about everything.

megapixels · 07/07/2010 18:43

There was this one episode where she woke up for a "snack" and made herself some sickly looking dessert thing with a strawberry sauce (made in a blender, in the middle of the night ) soaked in bread. Honestly, couldn't she have a biscuit or something like a normal person.

MiniMarmite · 07/07/2010 18:48

They all annoy me these days TBH. I can only watch HFW and Heston these days. I used to be able to cope with like everyone except Gary and Ainsley.

PrettyFeckinVacant · 07/07/2010 18:53

Isn't Gordon just the most annoying twat ever?? He has that kind of face that you would never tire of kicking!

I really like Jamie and HFW.

flibbertigibbert · 07/07/2010 19:06

megapixels - I think you're referring to the donut French toast where she fries a piece of bread, dredges it in sugar then covers it in strawberry sauce at in the middle of the night

megapixels · 07/07/2010 19:22

Yes yes yes, that's the one flibberti!

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 07/07/2010 19:27

Ohhhh nooooooo - I'm thinking how nice that would taste!! Helpppppp!

smugmumofboys · 07/07/2010 19:32

Gordon Ramsay. Tosser.

MoonFaceMama · 07/07/2010 19:41

omg, how could i forget Burton-f*%¿ing-Race. What a twat.
