For a very long time I wanted to grab Gary Rhodes by his stupid spikey hair and give him a trim with a butcher's cleaver.
Everything is fiddly-bitty and prodded around into towers, with a drizzle. Home cooks will never be arsed doing that shyte.
His 90's stuff was hilarious but his new place in Plymouth is firmly on simple food, simple presentation and good value. Changed his ways!Everything is fiddly-bitty and prodded around into towers, with a drizzle. Home cooks will never be arsed doing that shyte.

Geoffrey - is that you? I've made you a strawberry daiquiri whilst I shuck your oysters!
Cringe.
While Geoffrey's partner, Nigel, arranges the flowers and lays the table.....Cringe.
What about Hopkinson? Actually I quite like him.
John Burton-Race is a bit of a t
t though.

Gordon Ramsey did something a little while ago where he was all down-to-earth, at home casual, bantering with the kids stylee, and it just came across as embarrassingly contrived, was cringe inducing to watch. Just stick to what you fking know Gordon.
Having restaurants closed down and going tits up? king know Gordon.

I usually enjoy Ramsey, but gave up with that about five minutes in, which was 4.59 longer than I should have given it. Utterly cringeworthy.king know Gordon.Bradgate said:
Bug-eyed former model Sophie Dahl did a cringingly awful, absurdly twee cookery show a few years ago. I watched about 10 minutes of it. Not even Ms Dahl's looks could persuade me to continue watching.
Yes. The one where she went on about comforting food to raise the soul when you're feeling melancholic. Very OTT for sure. Isn't she married to Jamie Cullum the little squirt?

Irritating as fook, plus it wasn't even her kitchen.
I know these hardly ever are, but surely ought to be.
Most Jamie Oliver stuff, which I watch as I like cooking, but dislike him. I see him like I Jenson Button, who I disliked him when he was young and arrogant in his early years, but was brought back to earth in bad cars and bad teams, and ended up chilling out and being a regular guy (apart from being paid a shedload of cash) and you could chat about a mutual interest over a beer.
Jamie, don't go it Italy, and tell Italians to cook their food your way, which he did.
Gordon Ramsey as others have said - his India series was just a joke, scenes of him being action man etc., Floyd and Stein have done it before, better, and with passion and respect to the locals, which his lacked.
His Mr Nice guy home cooking series as mentioned, guessing it was made for him to get cash since his businesses were in trouble and it showed...
Delia back about 4 years ago when she did the series on cheap/fast eats and used cooked frozen mince. Disaster.
Most US stuff is drivel, Barefoot Contessa is one I can't stand.
But in the last 12 months, I think "The Taste" with Nigella and some idiot Yanks takes the cake:

bhin' Kitchen. That we's faux Brooklyn accent is so grating.
For sure, can't stand ithin' Kitchen. That we's faux Brooklyn accent is so grating.'Barefoot Contessa', on the other hand, I'd never tire of slapping. Even the smug, self-satisfying title makes my teeth itch.
