Celebrity Chefs..

How, when where ? I mean what on earth brought-on this absurd phenomenon. Cookery programs - no problem., the country need to be taught the basics of how to coddle an egg or make a victoria sponge, why not ? But do we really need to be exposed to this barrage of trite nonsense. Of course a chef is a respected profession that requires skill and tenacity but then so does plastering, and since when did we see this category of artisan rewarded with 7 figure TV contracts and gushing praise from misguided fanbois ? Huh tell me that !

If I want to be entertained then I will go and see a professional entertainer, a beat music combo, or a comedian maybe, perhaps even a play. But a sodding celebrity chef -come on please .. Likewise if I want to learn how to cook I'll bring out some re-runs of Farmhouse Kitchen with Dorothy Sleightholme, or maybe Patrick's Pantry.

Kerr - I blame you for perverting a nation !
