So my all time favorite has to be Anthony Bourdain with his wry sense of humor and willingness to put literally anything - no I mean ABSOLUTELY anything in his mouth and give it a try. I have to say my man Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall follows closely behind with his upbeat cheery disposition and keenness to try the unknown. He has an eagerness to partake in all kinds of customs near and far and through him I have developed a deeper appreciation for things local, hearty and farmed with kindness.
All that been said Jamie Oliver is such a go to man in times of a crisis. Mom and Dad coming over for dinner and need a bit of inspiration - Jamie Oliver, need to make your brother a batch of brownies to keep him happy and sugared up over the festive season - Jamie again. You can't beat the simplicity of his recipes and the straight forward manner in which they are presented.
Girls, don't feel left out I will post my foodie heroines in the near future but I just wanted to make a note about the boys as I was watching Gordon in action yesterday. The problem about the whole show was whilst the content was amazing and the recipes and access to culture that Gordon was exposed to was also amazing, he managed to continue to be overly familiar and coarse with the politest of people who all seemed to be left slightly perplexed by his oafish gestures. We know the guy can cook but he was there to learn - surely a little humility in this situation would not have gone amiss?
