Dedicated to Celebrity Chefs from Around the World
Celebrity Chefs
By Wikipedia
In its strictest sense, a celebrity chef is a someone who has become well-known for his/her cooking. The first historical personality that fits this description is Martino da Como but in practical terms the term grew in popularity during the 1990s. It accompanied an explosion in popularity of cookery programmes on television and cookery features in the printed press. The name celebrity chef is sometimes used in a slightly derogatory way - a celebrity chef who has "sold out" to the media being seen as somehow inferior to a traditional chef in a restaurant.Michelin star winner Gordon Ramsay, for example, has made a point of saying that he is definitely not a celebrity chef, despite having appeared on several television reality shows and written several books. Others such as Gary Rhodes are perhaps more relaxed about the title, yet still have owned and operated several highly successful upmarket restaurants. Many consider Antoine Carême (died 1833) to have been the first celebrity chef.
A number of celebrity cooks have been dubbed "TV chefs" without having earned the title within the Restaurant Industry, including: Rachael Ray, Sandra Lee, and Jeffrey Smith (AKA The Frugal Gourmet).

- I have to say, though I have not met him personally, Gordon Ramsey seems top embody the passion I felt when I started my cooking career. I was lucky enough to work with another prominent chef and friend of Gordons, from Le Gavroche, Chef Stephen Dogherty MOGB, for 18 months in his (Stephen's) pub restaurants in '97 and '98. That experience at Stephen's left an impression that to this day, has guided me not only in my career but in my personal life as well. To me, the kitchen is a place of great diversity, which ignites competition that fuels creativity. The ownership and accountability that a chef takes upon him drives results from an inspired team and makes him a natural leader. I have finally gotten a chance to start a page of my own on squidoo that speaks a little bit more on the character of a chef, and how conservative principles and cooking techniques can be useful instruments in your success.

- Hello Tallguy2
I love your lens, it's great to see so many celeb chefs on here, especially from the UK. I really enjoyed reading about the american chefs too, we don't get to hear a great deal about them over here. 5*s and a stumble for a fab lens.
Take care
Lisa

- I watch Food Network all the time. Paula Deen is one of my favorites. She was just on the Today Show this morning, and caused quite a stir (no pun intended!) while promoting her new Christmas cookbook. Take a peek at my lens, http://www.squidoo.com/Best-Cookbooks to see what she did...
