I would mention Nigella Lawson except that I don't recall ever watching her stuff and paying much attention to the food.

Registered 11 years agoIn the real world, I'd be secretly munching on an ice-cube and thinking that her lips had touched it.
Actually, she's a bit like the woman in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang doing the impression of the wind-up doll. She's too perfect in a way, and she has this glazed look to her eye, she's an automaton, I'm sure of it. -

It is possible that his mockney attitude has made me judge him harsher than I would otherwise though. -

Registered 9 years agoSo...
If you were having a banquet, who would you get to do the starter, main and dessert?
Starter - Stein. Probably some kind of shellfish
Main - Two Fat Ladies. Something ridiculously fatty and meaty
Dessert - Oliver. Delicate raspberry tartlet. -

Registered 9 years agoCan't believe no one has mentioned the God of Chinese cooking Ken Hom - try and watch his shows from the early/mid 80's - goes through all the classic Chinese recipes, makes it look simple and bloody tasty!
Fanny Craddock, for being a bloke dressed as a house wife and ordering poor Johnny around – watching her prepare a turkey on a Christmas TV special was kind of scary…..
Galloping Gourmet for loud shirts and kipper ties – food always looked good mind.

Registered 7 years agoThe flaw in that article seems to be the assumption that people would make things from these recipe books every evening rather than just an occasional weekend treat. Where as plenty of people are having supermarket ready meals every day for dinner. -

Registered 8 years agoThing is, with a recipe you can control how much of whatever you want to put in. Ready meals are what they already are. Also, There's no comparison of vitamin content etc, I'd wager something freshly cooked and eaten has more nutrients than something cooked 3 days ago and put in a fridge before being zapped back to temperature. -

Registered 11 years agoI would only eat a ready meal if it was going very cheap. Not on health grounds, they just taste bogging.
I don't understand their popularity. Especially as most of them seem to be single/double portions, so it's not as it they have my biggest timesink, children. Knocking up something fresh shouldn't take too long, especially if you have cupboards full of as much crap as we seem to do. That's my idea for a cookery programme - a chef just turns up at your house and proves you can make something good from what you have in your cupboards/fridge/freezer.
I'll have that wee Chinese girl please. -

Registered 8 years agoPlus the home cooked meal is missing all the ingredients you can't pronounce from the ready meals. I have no proof but I would also say that the fats from a good glug of Olive oil are probably not as bad as the fats bunged into a ready meal -

Strange seeing some people though, they basically used their kitchens as somewhere to make a cup of tea, and nothing else. -
