Apparently The Dyselxic Association flooded the BBC's switchboards with complaints when Ainsley Harriot did a special on al-fresco cooking called "Ainsley's Big Cook Out".

Re: Celebrity Chef's
None of you know anything about American television chefs, from the Food network on American cable?
A shame, really. There's some seriously outlandish characters on there. Most of them can't cook as well as the British chefs (which is saying a lot, given the old stereotypes).
Anyone heard of Paula Deen, the southern cook with an accent so thick you could ice it and eat it and gain a pound? She's the one who says: 'peeee-caaans' instead of 'pecans.'
Or the woman of the Semi-homemade fame, whose speciality is assembling dishes from various processed foodstuff? And specialises in 'table decor.'
Or Rachel Ray, who's on the boob tube twenty times a day and guarantees you a three-course meal in thirty minutes flat?
I learned quite a few things about the American diet from living in the US.

Re: Celebrity Chef's
Another shout for the Hairy Bikers and for Hugh Fearnsley-Whatsisface. None of this pretentious Jamie Oliver stuff. Enjoy watching Ramsey now and again.
I watched Heston's thing about Little Chef just before I left the UK, which was quite revealing. The LC guy was bloody clueless!

Re: Celebrity Chef's
I've eaten at his restaurant Les Halles in New York twice - first time was great - excellent French style brassiere style meats - second time after he's become more famous the place had expanded and was not so great... perhaps a blip...
Kitchen Confidential is great - his novels were not so bad either!

His show was great - and he will eat anything - amazing. Worst one was when he ate deep fried snakes heads - gross.
