The first lady of on screen cooking, Delia Smith has spoke out against Celebrity chefs and their arrogant attitudes in an interview with the Daily Mail.
Smith made a sly dig at kitchen based reality TV shows saying:
“I do not think I am a great cook. I get satisfaction if people can watch something on TV or pick up a book and say ‘I can do that’, she said.
“You have all these programmes with amateurs cooking and the chefs looking down their noses saying, ‘No dear, that isn’t good enough’.
” People are watching saying, ‘I’m not good enough either.’
“Cooking should not be exclusive or ‘cheffy’. It’s about sitting down around the table and having a nice meal.
“I think it is great to have lots of cooking on TV, enabling people to learn about different food and ingredients. But what I do not like is amateurs being made to feel like they are being ridiculed,” said added.
“I think people should be encouraged if they are watching a programme. It puts everybody off if you have got some very, very top chef saying. ‘No that is not right.’”
