The rise and rise of celebrity chef’s is a cultural phenomena that is only rivalled by get fit, lose weight, get a makeover and cheer the fuck up television. On one channel you have Nigella Lawson espousing. ‘only can you get bring out the full sumptuous potential of duck fat by adding three or four good dollops of perky luscious whipped cream followed by a full cup of glistening salt. Use the enriched duck fat and massage it thoroughly into the skin of the swine but only after it has been deep fried for a good 45 minutes”. Flick the channel and you get some buffed fitness nut chastising some demoralised and overweight westerner for having too much skim milk in their herbal tea!
It is the Celebrity Chef’s that are the modern day rockstars with egos to match! They wine and dine for and with Prime Ministers, Presidents and royalty, have whole sections of book stores dedicated to their recipes, have live shows, entire television channels programmed to highlight their culinary mastery. They also invariably have chains of overpriced restaurants scattered across the globe with one always opening up in Dubai next week.
