Hairy Bikers

[grumpy01]

I quite like Si King,who seems to do most of the work,but Dave Myers seems to be trying to be the North East’s answer to Gregg Wallace.

[Karolina82]

Would that be Rowlands Gill Bobbi?

[ummmm]

Grumpy - most food critics are not chefs, Doesn't mean they don't know about food.

Gregg Wallace is a greengrocer who supplies top restaurants. He does actually know his stuff.

[ummmm]

Pasta - they don't appeal to me either. Both seem very nice though.

[lady-janine]

Gregg Wallace and the Hairy Bikers have combined to put me off any cookery programmes.
Just chatty and have pushed themselves forward as far as I can make out. Doubt the real talent.

[ummmm]

I'm always surprised reading how much people dislike other people for no reason.

I like Gregg. I prefer him to John.

[lady-janine]

I don't like Gordon Ramsey's manners but when he does cook his food is good.
Angela Hartnett is one of the very best as was Carluccio. Also worth admiration are Michel Roux Jnr, Raymond Blanc and Locatelli among others.

[tiggerblue10]

I like them.

I used to love watching Two Fat Ladies as well.

Kibblesworth used to be in County Durham.

Lady J...watch Great British Menu when it's next on. Then you will see all the young and up and coming chefs. Some really brilliant food.

[Vagus]

I can take or leave most of the chefs or chef type people but I do like seeing the food they make.
I don’t like Nigellas posturing but I always watch her cookery programmes.
I think the only one I don’t enjoy watching is anything from Jamie Oliver, although I have a couple of his books.

[lady-janine]

Thanks Pasta. I might. I know a lot of young chefs are really excellent and what is happening to the cafe/restaurant/bistro business is quite horrifying.

[pastafreak]

My favourite cook is Nigel Slater...I could happily eat anything he creates. Real, good food, and he is so unpretentious.

[jennyjoan]

I always be a little apprehensive about their bearded hairs falling into their food , that image never leaves my mind. Lol

[Bobbisox1]

Karolina, yes R G

[ummmm]

I love Gordon. He's very harsh but he's also very soft.

Nigella is just for show. She can't even chop herbs with a normal knife. She's just a rich person who picked an expensive hobby. If it wasn't for her dad and her looks she would have a show.

[ummmm]

*wouldn't have a show.

[emmie]

she has made a decent living off of it though,

[ummmm]

She has. Fair play to her. She has also had a privileged childhood and married a very very rich man.

^^I don't mind that but just saying that most younger people couldn't afford to experiment with food.

[emmie]

if you mean Saatchi, thought they were divorced.

Used to love Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage series. Never measured the ingredients; it was a pinch, a handful or a good dollop, and all locally sourced. Gave me confidence when i was trying his menus.
