Jamie Oliver has been named as the most influential person in Britain’s food and drink industry. Since he found fame in 1999 the chef has filmed 30 TV series, published 20 cookbooks and has launched a grand total of five restaurant brands. The 46-year-old has campaigned to improve school dinners and poultry welfare. In March 2016 he celebrated the announcement of a sugar levy on soft drinks.
Most people have heard the name of famous chef Gordon Ramsay. This British chef has become one the world’s most renown professional chefs and has created a worldwide empire that spans more than a single continent. He’s been at the head of some of the most popular cooking-related shows of all time and has earned a name for himself as being something of a food perfectionist.
Many professions around the world award individuals who succeed more than their peers, the Grammys award the best musicians, the Oscars award the best actors, and the Michelin Star awards the best restaurant, but in this instance, the best chef.
When it comes to cooking, there is a stereotype about it being for women. While there are many women that do choose to cook, there are so many men that also choose to do the same. Just look at some of the world’s most famous chefs. It has easily become just as much a man’s world as it was a woman’s.
We’ve almost all heard of Guy Fieri, the frosted-tip chef that loves to drive around the United States and sample as many of its culinary delights as he can get his hands on.
Known for his boisterous demeanour and his passion for rich foods, Fieri has become one of the most popular chefs in the world and has created a number of extremely successful cooking shows.
For the last few decades, the food industry has largely been focused on big television networks, which tend to be made up of various cooking shows and competitions.
This proved to be incredibly successful for many years, but as the internet has become a more important part of our lives, many of the younger generations are starting to turn away from television and to platforms like YouTube.
It’s no secret that becoming a world famous chef is one of the most difficult endeavours of the modern age, being even more difficult than reaching stardom in Hollywood. It means putting in countless years of endless refinement, always striving to make the best dishes from the freshest ingredients, and never allowing any mistakes to happen.
