[Dobby]

Dont know if im alowed to say this but has anyone watched
Mike Robinson in Heaven's Kitchen
Mike is the chef have you seen him perpering food then putting his hands through his greasy hair then back on the food
sorry but i dont think i could eat anything he has perperd
am I wrong or is this heathy

[shirlthegirl43]

Possibly a new take on low fat cooking if he doesn't use any other oils?

Personally I always liked Gary Rhodes - his hair was so full of gel you knew none was going to fall out into the food!

[Polly Fouracre]

Yes,I am also put off Mike Robinson for the same reason.Also as he talks he continually wipes his hand across his mouth,ugh!
I always thought anyone working in a kitchen should have their hair covered.
None of the celebrity chefs seem to,where are the Health and Hygiene people?
It puts you off eating out.I will just copy their recipes and enjoy them at home.(a lot cheaper too-AND you know your veg are fresh)

[Dobby]

yea all the recipes are on the uktv website so you can just print on what you wont
and you know whats in it

Don't get me going on this Dobby! I took a basic food hygiene course when I helped with the Breakfast Club at school. Most of it is common sense. I really shout at the TV when they touch the food with their fingers! They put it on the dish with a spoon THEN poke it!

Did a food hygiene course with the guides - it is aparently not a requirement of a leader to have this certificate, nor are we checked on when getting the girls to cook, but boy did the 'black gel' make me aware of dirty hands!

For those not in the know - black gel is a clear gel which is uv sensitive, so you are made to rub some over your hands - then you wash your hands 'normally' and come back to be scaned in the uv box. Then you are sent to wash again..... Frightening how so much can 'hide' even when you are sure you have washed well.

I agree as well. I do watch some of the celeb chefs but shout at them for their bad hygiene - some of them dont wash after handling raw meat. And with a couple of chefs in my family that sort of thing is well drummed into me!!

[madderbat]

I don't watch celeb chefs, just get the recipes online!
thoug I did like that guy in the 1980's who drank more than he cooked (craft - his name)

The Staggering Gourmet!

[moggssue]

Oh, I remember him, he was a good giggle!

Just can't cope with how he slowly pats/ presses his meat and fish when it's cooking!

I'm currently enthralled by James Martin's "Sweet Baby James" (the cook book for this is amazing)

James has one of his assistant chefs in the kitchen with him, who we call his "kitchen b!tch" as he is the most grovelly person in the world. Considering they're cooking in someone's home (or a studio that looks like it) he acts as if he is amazed by everything James does and agrees with every word.

Mind you, its worth it to look at the desserts!

Dobby - I don't watch Heavens Kitchen because like you, I can't stand the man. OWG - I haven't been watching that programme, but mmmmm, could eat sweet baby james anyday! Bernie PS my mate has promised to take me to Winchester when I go down on my hols to visit his deli..........
