all chefs are cooks only the head of the brigade or a section of the kitchen they oversee is a chef, unfortunately the word is banded around too easily nowadays I was classed as a saucier, but now they call is saute chef we only called the Chef de cuisine the name Chef in the kitchens I worked the rest of us were cooks (thought I ran the sauce section so was Chef de Partie saucier then Sous-Chef and later on cuisine) Same these people who work in a bar alone and do pub grub call it a chefs job, it ain't it's a cooks job and I've been one of them too more recently than being a Chef, as for 'Cooks' Like the hairy bikers and the like yeah that's their passion and their more enjoyable to watch than the ego driven professionals like Ramsey, Oliver and the like.

anyway Kieth Floyd was the best and won't ever be bettered

Your dead right if its something you want to try yourself, but i do like a top chef showing techniques and skill to produce something stunning.

The thing that gets me is,you would have to take out a bank loan just to buy the ingredients to make a starter.
Pretentious wankers.
As the Italian guy on "15 Australia" said "poor people eat the best food", maybe not in the UK, but "peasant food" is the best you can eat.

To be fair cooking's a piece of piss and it's true you only need the basic ingredients to create a wonderful meal, Peasant Food is the best food and most of the UK's favourite dishes are traditional recipes.
These "Professionals" on telly try to make it look like rocket science half the time and yeah if you have a brigade of 20 chefs/cooks serving a restaurant of 50 you can produce fancy bollocks that takes skill to master but most hotels and restaurants have six or seven working their arse's off serving shed loads of customers on a rolling basis. Being a Good chef isn't just about the cooking though it's about organization a Good Chef runs a kitchen like a well oiled machine with all the parts working in unison
