gnvqsos Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 How is it conning people to hire extras? Or have a rich father for that matter? He's definitely improved school meals, no question about that. I don't think he's any worse than any other TV 'Chef'. Must it be explained-its a deception to presnt extras as buddies.

I'm sure his 'buddies' have better things to do than appear on all of his programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAxe Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think the guy is a <REMOVED>. I wouldn't go near his food drenched in olive oil... it's disgusting to have so much oil on the food. Cooks it with oil, which stuff that needs it fine.... and after pours a tonne of it over the top. Guy needs to stop being such an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think he needs to stop using 3 litres of olive oil, chilli and mint in everything he cooks on 30 minute meals! There are other flavours in the world apart from oily chilli and mint for god's sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fake Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Do you find ASDA that difficult to navigate? I certainly do as there is none around where I live and I don't have a car to easily get to one. Even if I bought on-line they don't carry all the ingredients so I would need to go elsewhere and waste more time. FYI The ingredients for the recipe I posted, including drinks would cost around £30. That's also leaving out what I couldn't get and not costing in some common ingredient that most people would have. Its hardly basic and makes a fairly pricey meal. If its going to cost that much, and for the time and effort involved I would rather go to a restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think the book claimed to have the cheapest possible recipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 30 minute meals,? he stole the idea when he was over in the US last year, AMerican Rahcael Ray became famous over 10 years ago staring her 30 min meal TV show, then went on the write her 30 min meal cook books and sh'e still going strong, she became famous cooking basic meals and refuses to be called a chef, she's a cook not a chef. Ready Steady Cook used to make them in 20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I would think the young 'uns in question would have posed as extras to get the dosh for being themselves.You clearly have a soft spot for the lad -sorry!
