    Pretentious of course but she is very purdy!

    I find her intensely annoying. I also wish she’d stop pretending her food is modern “takes” on French classics. She has taken ingredients of those classics and made something barely related to the original dish and uses that as a hook to pretend it’s something more than it is. Ironically, if she knocked off that crap (and the “look how cool I am living in a shoebox and cooking with charity shop pans”) and just said her food was French influenced I’d be less wound up.

    And don’t get me started on her bio. Making it sound like she’s a trained chef when she really just took a 2/3 month course that makes up a small part of the diploma from the cordon bleu school.

    I really shouldn’t get so worked up about marketing bollocks.

    Well at least she doesn’t do that cringeworthy pouting, shoving breasts up and trying to look sexy to the camera like Nigella does.

    Imagine Hugh FWS’ tossing his locks, trying to look manly and showing his bicep to the camera whilst cooking.

    You can have frothing at the mouth ranting, thinly veiled racism and Homophobia from certain contributors. Yet

    Going to ban some people for the stupid mysoginistic posts. Some people just can’t help themselves. You are posting to a large public audience. You look stupid. Please develop some respectable self control or sod off our forum. You are boring the rest of us normal people.

    I’ve cleaned up this thread. If there’s anymore ‘I would’ type posts the posters will be banned for two days.

    That is why there will never be a Premium membership bought by me. Program makers using her obvious attractiveness to push the program. To me it is no different to selling photos to the press one day and complaining of intrusion the next.

    It’s a bit like US telly. You can have as much violence and swearing as you like….but if you show a bit of nipple, you’re screwed* 8)

    Why all the angst? I don’t get it? I just look at it that she’s a good looking (all be it a bit pretentous but I like that, read into that what you will) lass that holds a bit more of my attention by cooking nice food. Or am I just being shallow? 😉

    Uphillcursing,

    Did you report any of the other threads you found upsetting?

    People are entitled to their opinions as far as I am concerned. May not agree with them but who am I to say what is which side of the line a comment lies on?

    If I do not like the way a thread is going I can always stop reading. Much as I would leave the cinema if I found the movie upsetting. The threads that may cause offence are generally easy to spot I find. I suspect morbid curiosity takes the complainers in but have no idea what drives them to continue reading and then complain.

    In short, no I have never complained about a thread (even Fred personal abuse ones).

    uphillcursing does your Hope freehub make a nice buzzing noise when you backpedal?

    Hora, I don’t think I am back peddling. I got the hump when my post was deleted and I read the reasoning of the moderator. I find it difficult to believe anyone could have been offended by what I wrote. Left to me I would have no moderation rather than the over zealous kind.

    A 3 month cookery course?

    You’ve got to admire her bullshitting skills to get a tv series out of that

    Sorry no thoughts here, seem to be living in a bubble, who is this Rachel Khoo of whom you speak (pictures please)

    I once saw Ching-He Huang (pretty chinese TV cook) burn some nuts she was browning and then use a jar of curry sauce from Sainsburys in her “quick and easy green curry” (course it’s easy, it’s from a jar). Very much a case, in my opinion, of packaging taking precedence over content for her programme.

    I made her lavender chicken the other night after seing a repeat of her on Sunday morning. It was very tasty and simple to make
