My fav chef has 2 b Nigella Lawson, she is idol.

I suppose it's a bit rude to slate the ones you don't like as opposed to praising the good ones.....................but.
Danny Boom, Jamie wannabe (even got the VW camper)
Beauty and the Feast.........Puhleeeeeaaaase
Nancy Lam..............screeches like a chainsaw
Jeanne Rankin...............WHY? get a job, or watch telly
As for Gary Rhodes, looks too much like Bart Simpson.


I always thought that Celia B B was a bit..........but she has obviously decided that becoming a bit of TV totty will get her on the box more, revealing, or tight tops are obviously IN with her, it works for me, go Celia go.

I could sit and watch the Australian chef Bill Grainger all day. I also like Paul Hollywood and Simon Rimmer and Nigel Slater and Jamie because he is so passionate about his food. Can't stand Tamsin & Nigella, mainly because of their hair. Surely basic kitchen hygiene says it should be tied back out of the way. I used to like Gino di Campo but think he getting a bit big-headed. Seems to be on the tele too much these days.

I like Baines who is on GFL sometimes, I think he is into asian ingredients, and makes food with different flavours. He is quite good looking too.

Nigella cooks more for the ordinary mum, housewife, and would like to see her more on TV now days.

I miss Jamie Oliver as well but I know he is very busy now days.

Keith Floyd is the master but I expect he is retiring soon.

i like nigella and nigel slater i think their passion for the food really stands out. i think this comes out most when you read their books more its more conversational than just a straightforward recipe and really give a feel of what the dish is supposed to be no matter how basic.

have to say gary rhodes bugs me - too smug and why why soooo much salt in everything

Paul Rankin is fab - he and Ainsley Harriott are a great combo on Ready Steady Cook (when it happens!). He winds everyone up - namely Ainsley - who I also have great respect for. Even during the most nail-biting, 'cringe-factor-100' (aka THE OFFICE) akward moments, Ainsley maintains his professional poise and gets on with the job. Paul is Paul. What you see is what you get - with a little bit of edge....just great. I love the tension he creates....great stuff! Paul Rankin should feature in every episode!.

Lord Floyd is way out in front in my opinion as the best, the worst has to be beautyand the feast, what is that all about!!
