Who is your favourite celebrity chef?

[Glocko]

Love them or hate them, we can't avoid them.
Who is your fave and why?

[Turn7]

Not sure I have a fave as such.

I like Jamie for quick n easy stuff.

Rick makes interesting programs, altho Im no fish lover, I enjoy him.

I really like Hughs eat all of it approach.

[ATTAK Z]

Gino and James

None of the above actually!

I have warmed to Tom Kerridge for several reasons: he seems like a good, down to earth bloke, doesn't appear to 'court or utilise' celebrity status to his personal advantage - and lastly, he is a fat lad.

I have always thought that, when it comes to chefs - never trust a skinny one!

[Turn7]

Tom came across very well in the new series he has done - and clearly is amn who enjoys his food!

Hand and Flowers is on my to do list....

[mikees]

Tom for me. HaF is a regular haunt. Was there Monday for lunch - duck was fantastic

Never been ... although I did spend some time in High Wycombe way back ... is it value for money ? ... not sure about the 12.5% mandatory service charge ...

+1, can't beat Jamie's quick recipes.

[VinceFox]

I still retch at the very concept of celebrity chefs. They shouldn't exist.



Except nigella.

[Evoluzione]

Gordon fking Ramsey.
J Oliver has the best recipes though.

[DudleySquires]

Those two greedy Italians. And Floyd of course. Could watch their stuff all day. Risk Stein makes some good stuff too.

[calibrax]

Need to add Ramsay. Yes, he's a , but an entertaining one!

[GALLARDOGUY]

Tom Kerridge was my initial thought too.

I've met him.

Nice fella.

And goes to show that you don't need all the faux melodrama that Ramsey, amongst others, bring to a kitchen, to be successful.

[BlackVanDyke]

Read MPW's autobiography the other week. Jeez but he's got problems. I only kept reading out of some sort of unhelpful stubbornness; I paid for it after all! It's a miserable read, full of self-justification for various unforgiveably bad behaviour, and mostly left me feeling quite sorry for the bloke.

[Cheese Mechanic]

Keith Floyd by a country mile , although I do have some time for Rick Stein.

The rest don't fuss me much.

[Jam Spavlin]

You don't see much of him now but I like Garry Rhodes no shouting no drama just what seams to be a pleasant man and fancy food.

[drab]

Raymond blanc. Seems a genuinely nice guy

[Evoluzione]

No love for The Hairy Bikers then?

[anonymous-user]

Hugh, as he's all about the quality of the ingredients and what's in season. Plus he has the right atitude towards animal welfare and fishing.

[Chris_VRS]

Tom Kerridge came across well the other night.
Jamie Oliver for the easy recipes.
Nigel Slater for actually watching a chef cooking on tv for 30mins.
