Let's just say that celebrity chefs in the UK, and probably all around the world, are more due to their personality and quirks than cooking prowess.

Uncle Roger making a career out of making fun of Jamie oliver videos is not a coincidence lol, same goes for Gordon ramsay to a lesser extent. Watching ramsay infamous grilled cheese video trying to gaslight the viewer into thinking its a great sandwich when its painfully obvious its shit should make everyone reconsider their other work.

Agreed. I've tried Ramsay and Oliver's recipes and they always end up just a bit bland. Their technique is great and all and is a valuable learning resource for technique and some general principles, but the flavour is not all there.

Jacques Pepin however is great all around.
