    Big fan of Raymond Blanc too, he really does show his passion for food.

    Also a fan of Marco Pierre White, who doesn't rate Ramsay too highly after their very public fallout. Cant say that I'm a fan of Ramsay myself either, I just find him to be an arrogant loudmouth.

    Favorite chef would be Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

    Pierre White calling Ramsey 'arrogant', 'unwilling to listen', and 'pretentious' is almost an irony overdose.

    I'm really enjoying this too, but it makes me want to go to France more and more each time I see it. I love Raymond's enthusiasm and he seems like he'd actually be nice to work for, as head chefs go.

    It's definitely Neven Magiure for me. He makes thing so easy, that even I can follow, both in is programmes and his books.

    IMO his restaurant is the best in the country.

    The poll is 5 years old & probably not very relevant anymore.

    I can't believe Gordon "Family Man" Ramsey is leading this poll !

    What about Nigel Slater, Heston and Neven?

    I quite like Mr. Oliver if only because his recipes are extremely easy to follow, he makes sure all the ingredients are easy for the average plebs to source and they are, generally, pretty damned good. I also like the educational work he does and his 15 project. I just all in all feel like he's a top bloke and having eaten in two of his restaurants and 15 in London I rally respect him as a chef.

    After him it's Nigella, not the worlds best cook by any means but dear lord, for a woman 25 years older than me, she's bloody gorgeous.

    Marco Pierre White.

    Jamie is OK, Ramsey spends too much time with his hands in my food. Everything has to be cold by the time it gets served.

    Ah how is Ramsay still winning this?
    Im enjoying a bit of Ina Garten and Guy (Fieri) Big Bite lately.

    Mainly cos Food Network ram them down your throat but still.
    Love Ina's "just add butter" approach :D

    Actually, has anyway ever her seen her measure everything exactly?
    "half a tea spoon of kosher salt" and she takes out her fecking measuring spoons. Is that an american thing or what? You wouldnt mind for the baking, but measuring a bit of salt to sear a roast:confused::confused:

    The thread started, and mainly ran, in 2007 so the results will reflect that.

    I can't stand Ina Garten myself. She's just too American.

    Guy Fieri is hilariously ridiculous.

    Hugh Fearnley Wittingstal would be my favorite. Just for his whole attitude and enthusiasm for food, even if I don't like fish.

    I, too, would go for HFW but I like Nigel Slater as well. They're very different in many ways but I like their enthusiasm and, particularly in HFW's case, independence of thought. Plus, there's no need for an interpreter. Anyone remember Rachel Allen's "ram and chocolate cake"?
