September 26, 2023 By Ina

Chef Jose Andres got slammed in an article for New York mag for what they called “the worst audition for celebrity chefdom.”

While fans did come to his rescue we do think the article is a pretty good sign of how “tv antics” can get grating — and end up ruining your professional reputation.

A lot of celebrity chefs come out with cookbooks…but how many of the recipes can actually be done by real people (i.e., those among us who don’t have a big kitchen, 150 different kinds of spices, and a set of expensive kitchen knives?)

Jamie Oliver says that anyone can cook the recipes in “Jamie’s Dinners” and even proves it by
posting stories of readers on his website. Check it out. It may just be the perfect Father’s Day gift…and a subtle hint to the man in the house to take over kitchen duty once in a while.
