Today, for a change from the usual blogging, I am going to talk about TV chefs. My two favourites at the moment have to be Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay. You don't want to get me started on how much I love Jamie Oliver. He is such a naturally entertaining person! When you're watching him cooking on the television, you don't feel like it's just another cooking show, you feel involved. He constantly cracks jokes that I, personally, find hilarious. I would say that there is never a dull moment during his shows! Plus, more importantly, his recipes are really good and produce absolutely amazing and delicious food that is also reasonably healthy. Really into his 15 minute meals at the moment too! Although, I've tried, and it never takes me only 15 minutes so I always have to set aside some extra time to get everything done, which is no problem for me.
Gordon Ramsay is, kind of, completely opposite to Jamie Oliver. He is almost equally as entertaining, just in a different way. Although he gives the appearance of being a big, tough, mean guy in his TV shows, I actually think he is a really nice guy at heart. Although he is terrifying when he shouts, I find it interesting to watch how he always manages to take control of what sometimes appears to be a rather bleak situation in some of his shows. The other thing I like about him is that he's not just all about the cooking. All or most of his shows include cooking but are not necessarily mainly about that. For example, I am talking about Hells Kitchen and Gordon Behind Bars. In both of these shows, although cooking is involved, he is offering an opportunity to the people involved. Something that they have to work hard for and towards. He sends a good message that to get rewards, you have to work hard for them.
That pretty much concludes my opinions on these specific chefs. Feel free to comment with your own comments and opinions.
