Love 'em or hate 'em ?
Most are ok, some i really like, others are just wank.
Currently liking -
Saint Delia - What i really like about her is that she actually TEACHES you how to cook in her shows. She'll do something, like say dust cherries with flour then tell you WHY she did it. (helps stop them sinking in a cake)
Nigella - Delia with a high sex drive and breasts She's very poetic in the way she speaks which i find really nice/attractive ?? and she also tells you why she does something.
Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) - Started watching her on UKTv Food. Delia's American sister But my God does she use a lot of butter and cream.
Heston Blumenthal - Interesting but ffs who has a freezer that goes to -80c to make clear soup ?
Currently hating -
Jamie Oliver - Twat
Anthony Worrell Thompson - Fat Twat
Gordon Ramsey - Fucking twat
Rachel Allen - Silly Twat (oh look at me, i've got a kitchen and a camera let's make a TV show)

Ditto.
Hugh Fearnley-whittingstall, Gordo and Raymond Blanc are all top.
Sophie Dahl needs to fuck off and go dip her head in a deep fat fryer. Not really. A little bit.
ETA: Rick Stein can be good - when he's not being a pretentious bell-end.
Seconded. I've never seen anything quite so nauseatingly smug and self-satisfied as that crock of shit show. Her prancing about a television set kitchen pretending she's having her oh so beautiful friends over for a rustic supper makes me want to hurl. And then there is her hilarious commentary on the food:
"This soup is like a cockney ragamuffin dressed in a cashmere sweater". "This is the kind of food one should really eat with a chilled glass of trebbiano on a terrace on the Amalfi coast".
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Why do we even need her, anyway? Isn't Nigella already covering this base, and doing a far better job?
I used to like Gordon Ramsay, but now I can't stand him. He's become an embarrassment, an absolute walking parody of himself, screaming obscenities in the face of anyone and everyone because some obnoxious arsehole of a producer has told him he's not being quite aggressive enough. The American version of Kitchen Nightmares was painfully embarrassing to watch.
Yeah, fair comment. When it comes to telling and showing you how to cook top quality food I always thought he was spot on. I've little interest in his sweary, completely ego-driven shows.
Gordon Ramsey I don't mind on TV, his books though are really good.
Heston and Hugh .
I like Phil whatsisface that's married to Fern Britton, but that might be because I think he's quite good looking .
He really is!
Famous dad doesn't make you a good cook worth watching.
agree completely. it's just aspirational psuedo 'twee' tv that rams a lifestyle down our throats (or eyes) that is entirely unatainable.
as for chefs.. i love heston, he's a genius. im also liking a lady called gizzi. her recipes always seem to have a new spin on them and she's young, fun and .. a punk.
my favourite are the Hairy Bikers.
And the bald guy who cooks on Something For The Weekends.
And Fern Britton's hubby.... well done her i say!
I the Hairy Bikers too! And Raymond Blanc. He's so french!
But he isn't a cook so I guess not really related to this thread.
I like the original Iron Chef. Morimoto rules.
