Everyone has a favourite chef, someone who when nothing else is on tv, will turn to them to entertain them in their hour of boredom. These are some of the chefs who have graced our tv, and the nation has taken them to their hearts.

• Gordon Ramsey. Most well know for Hells kitchen, Ramsay has a temper more fiery than his oven and a mouth dirter than his kitchens unwashed pans. One of only 3 chefs in the UK to have 3 michelin stars for his resturants at the same time. Ramsay originally appeared on a documentary called boiling point, where he first became known to the public. Boiling point saw Gordon trying to achieve his 3rd Michelin star, and made him an overnight celebrity. His other shows are the F word, Ramsay’s kitchen nightmares and hells kitchen. Both kitchen nightmares and hells kitchen have been remade for an america audience -increasing his popularity.
• Nigella Lawson. Daughter of former Conservative MP Nigel Lawson, she wrote the successful book ‘how to eat’ in 1998, and first appeared on tv with the show ‘Nigella bites’, which was aired in 2000 to 2001 on channel 4. The TV show won her TV Broadcast of the Year at the Guild of Food Writers Awards. Her sensious approach food has captivated both men and women over here and in America. Her daytime tv chat show ‘Nigella’, was cancelled after a week on air, to which she admits that she didnt enjoy being a chat show host. More of a writer than a presenter, she has sold over 3 million copies of her books to date.
• Jamie Oliver. The BBC first saw Jamie while he was working as a sous chef in Fulham. His TV show the ‘Naked chef’ which gave him fame was followed by ‘Pukka Tukka’ and ‘Jamie’s Kitchen’. ‘Jamie’s school dinners’ was shown in 2005 and showed the chefs personal crusade to increase the standard of dinners in Britain’s schools, which led to £280 million being spent on school dinners over three years. In a move which has bought him in 1.2 million a year, Jamie became the main Sainburys ‘mascot’, appearing in ads for them since 1998. Loved by the british public for his ‘british-ishness’, this might explain why he hasnt gone over as well as he has in the rest of the world than the other chefs mentioned here.
