Celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay, has blasted fellow chef Delia Smith, for her use of pre packaged food in a recent TV show and cookery book.
Speaking to the BBC, Ramsay said:
“I would expect students struggling on £15 a week to survive eating from a can but the nation’s favourite, all-time icon reducing us down to using frozen, canned food. It’s an insult,” he remarked.
Ramsay also hit out at restaurants who serve up food out of season and fail to use local produce. Read More »

Raymond Blanc, celebrity chef and star of BBC’s The Restaurant has slammed fellow chef, Delia Smith and accused her of “betraying” her home cookery values.
The French chef told the Daily Express: “Suddenly the great lady who helped us all to connect with our food has published a book which undermines her credibility.
“Just at the point where people were beginning to connect with their food and become aware of the joys of seasonal food, she suddenly gives us the opposite message and that’s sad.”
Delia started last night on BBC 2. Did you see it? What did you think?
It’s been six years, but Delia Smith is back on our screens with a new series. This time she breaks a few of the rules she herself created to explore a new way of cooking which tackles, head on, one of the realities of 21st-century cooking – ready-made ingredients.
Tonight’s episode puts the humble potato under the spotlight. Forget peeling and scrubbing – frozen mash can do the hard work for much-loved favourites such as shepherd’s pie and fish pie, plus a chilled summer soup. Frozen rosti are used in an easy-to-make loaf of bread. And a more adventurous Peruvian dish, Patatas Arequipo, is made with oven-ready potato wedges.
In a recent interview with The Radio Times magazine, queen of the kitchen, Delia Smith spilt the beans on what she realy thinks of her fellow celebrity chefs.
She revealed that she doesn’t entirely approve of Gordon Brown’s frequent bad language, saying “That’s not teaching. I like him when he does his recipes, but I’m not keen on his swearing.”
But Smith had only good things to say about Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver:
“Jamie is brilliant and has done more than anyone. I enjoy Nigella - she has such a passion for food. Read More »
Delia Smith’s newest cookery book looks set to outsell her rival celebrity chefs, Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver, according to the Daily Star.
The book titled Delia’s How to Cheat at Cooking
An Asda spokesman said: “Delia’s accessible and realistic approach is a recipe for success. So much so we are confident that it will put Jamie Oliver sales on the backburner.”
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. Read More »
