British food is not as boring as you might think
The cult
of the television chef started in the 1960s when Fanny Craddock presented her
BBC programme ‘Adventurous Cooking’. Each week she would teach the viewers a new
recipe which they could later make at home.
Since then many more chefs have become household
names by teaching the UK how to cook. Their impact on the nation’s
eating habits has been highly significant. Almost six out of
ten people in Britain claim that TV cooking programmes have changed the way to
cook.
There are now so many celebrity chefs on our
screens that it is hard to remember who is who. Chefs have different
specialities – some are seafood geniuses, others focus on cooking on a
budget , one chef, Ken Hom, specialises in Chinese food.
What makes a good TV chef? Obviously, he must have
highly-developed culinary skills. However, to capture the
public’s attention as a celebrity chef it is necessary to have an
engaging personality . Some TV chefs are as well known for
their personalities as they are for their cooking.
Gordon Ramsay, for example, is famous for his fiery
temper and foul-mouthed outbursts. The UK’s most
famous TV chef, Jamie Oliver, is, by contrast, a likeable,
happy-go-lucky figure.
Jamie Oliver’s television career took off in 1999 with the BBC
series ‘The Naked Chef’. He made two more series with the BBC before being
head-hunted by Channel 4.
Jamie Oliver broke the mould for making
cooking programmes with his two most recent series. In ‘Jamie’s Kitchen’ he
trained fifteen under-privileged teenagers to become chefs in
his London restaurant. And in ‘Jamie’s School Dinners’ he set out to improve the
quality of food in Britain’s schools by getting rid of junk
food in the canteen.
