His healthy cooking on a budget recipe book was apparently full of directions to use his bespoke kitchen range because obviously if you are cooking on a budget the first priority should be to buy a £26 book and a £40 grater.

Having worked in several restaurants, this is generally true of virtually all of them. Anti-social working hours, incredibly low pay, and assholes for bosses. It's one of the reasons why I left that particular industry, even though it's probably the only thing I've worked at that I was actually good at.

Wouldn't go back unless I had no choice or it unionised. It is partially responsible for my view that every time someone mentions small business owners being the backbone of the country I get a kneejerk urge to demand Britain gets Bane'd because every small business I've worked for have been lying, cheating, cheap bastards.

Reminder that this was the end of a genuine Jamie Oliver advert for cheap meals: Joking about how you're a rich gently caress patronising poor people makes it ok I guess. Like yeah he's obviously not actually that rich but it's so tone-deaf to think an ending of "haha just kidding Jamie Oliver doesn't actually have to make cheap meals like you proles" would appeal to the target audience.

Only time you shouldn't peel garlic is if you're roasting it, and even then you peel it if you're going to eat it. I truly don't know how the gently caress he managed to get famous considering that he makes a lot of rookie errors.

I'd like to know how he got away with branding a mortar and pestle as 'Jamie Oliver's'. Mortar and pestles have been in use since we started fashioning implements, so he didn't invent them. He didn't improve on the design, or lovingly carve them. Nice work if you can get it, s'ppose.

Thought this was interesting: Paul Weller wins damages from the Mail Online The Mail, bastions of protecting the children, forced to pay £10,000 after random pap shots of Paul Weller's children appear on their site. They complained that as his wife had tweeted pictures of them NAKED, then they had no right to claim they wanted their life to be private. More people need to do this. No reason to expand on this, everyone knows how deep in the gutter the Mail Online is.

Rick Stein is just as bad as Jamie Oliver depending on who you ask. quote:It is Padstow, rather than Stein's culinary abilities, that has been keeping him in the headlines of late. His enterprises include a seafood restaurant, a bistro, a cafe, a fish and chip shop, a deli, a patisserie, a cookery school and a 33-bedroom hotel. In June, a separatist group called the Cornish National Liberation Army threatened to firebomb Stein's businesses - along with Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant in nearby Watergate Bay - claiming they were responsible for "alienating" local people. The group branded Stein an "English newcomer", despite the fact that he moved to Padstow in the mid-60s (he was born in Oxfordshire), and his family has had connections with Cornwall for almost a century.

If the fish is endangered then why is he selling it in the first place? And does he do panda burgers, because I bet they would be delicious.

To be honest, I don't eat seafood so I've got no idea if £34 is a "good" price for turbot beyond the fact that its a) objectively a lot of money to pay for a meal and b) if it's expensive because it's endangered then I wouldn't eat it anyway. I was more thinking that the monopolising of local businesses by one person and the gentrification was more problematic. Especially as it turns out that Jamie Oliver seems to have gone "yeah, I'll get in on that" and moved in down the coast.

Because god forbid fisherman stop pulling everything that moves out of the sea and find a proper job. If he doesn't buy it someone else will. Also every edible fish is endangered so in conclusion, gently caress fishermen.
