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.

MarthaQuest · 07/07/2010 19:44

Yes burton- race , lets hope he never returns to our screens .and his annoying wife and kids too.

MoonFaceMama · 07/07/2010 19:47

I'm sorry. I'm not normally this bitchy... Don't know what's come over me!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 07/07/2010 19:48

Gary Rhodes or Anthony whatshisname.

Without doubt Sophie Dahl.

taffetacatski · 07/07/2010 19:57

Oh I felt desperately sorry for John Twunt Race's family and wife ( she's left him now hasn't she? ). He is truly awful.

I like to watch James Martin with the sound down.

MoonFaceMama · 07/07/2010 20:34

Urgh! taffeta how could you! His accent's about the only thing he's got going for him.

ByTheSea · 07/07/2010 20:36

Gordon Ramsey, hands down!

moonfacemama - I am sure he has a lovely accent, its the content I object to. He has a jolly nice rear though.

MoonFaceMama · 07/07/2010 20:57

well i'm glad someone manages to get some use out of him taffeta!

expatinscotland · 07/07/2010 21:03

Sophie Dahl.

I'm so glad her show (our license fees pay for all sorts of nepotism) has been axed.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/07/2010 21:04

I am probably sick minded, and has priobably got to do with remnants of teenage food issues, but I cannot see Nigella wolf all that food without thinking she would also wolf a bar of ex lax and/or chuck it all afterwards.

mamibabi · 07/07/2010 21:06

Gary Rhodes is a first class tit.

BessieBoots · 07/07/2010 21:07

Nigella. I have a bit of a girl-crush on her, and her food is fab, but for God's sake! That's an ice cream, not a cock!

EsmeWeatherwax · 07/07/2010 21:10

Nigel Slater. I hate him. He's such a wanker. I loathe the whole "I'm so smug because I've got a garden," malarkey he goes on with. Twit. And the way he touches food. And the way he speaks. Everything about him, in fact.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/07/2010 21:12

Lol Esme. Have you read any of his books though? They are really good. He is just excrutitaing to watch.

stainesmassif · 07/07/2010 21:13

Nigel Slater is such a disappointment. i love his writing, but could die of cringe watching him on the telly.

almost all of them are irritating in one way or another. i do heart heston though.

expatinscotland · 07/07/2010 21:13

Oh, yes, Nigel bitching about how jealous he is of his friends' allotment then he walks out into his massive garden.

Wanker.

LetThereBeRock · 07/07/2010 21:39

Personally I can't stand Heston either. Stop fucking around with food, buy yourself a chemistry set and make something I'd actually want to eat,snail porridge doesn't count.

MarthaQuest · 07/07/2010 21:43

nigel slater, he's too reverential about the food, that's the word i was looking for.

EsmeWeatherwax · 07/07/2010 21:51

Getorfmoiland, I do actually have one of his books, which i bought before I ever saw him on telly. There's a lovely recipe for trout in it.

But he's still a tosspot.

expatinscotland · 07/07/2010 21:54

YY to Heston, too. He's so up his own arse I'm sure one day he'll cook his innards and serve them with a sprig of thyme.

jujubean · 07/07/2010 21:54

Sophia Dahl, pretentious self absorbed nonsense.
Nigel, too wanky by far, sometimes I think he might come while he's stirring a sauce or something.
