Gary Rhodes

but when it wasn't actually a thing.

It was only Gary Rhodes being really professional.

Mm.

And now it's gone to sort of chefs everywhere.

Rhodes where we're going we

do need Gary Rhodes one hour of Rhodes yeah yeah he got turned into a motorway

oh bless him he's one of those people I file under I can't believe I always thought he'd be around like Dale Winton yeah Dale Winton not being around anymore absolutely is very sad I thought we'd always have a Dale Winton.

Ainsley Harriot, luckily he's still around.

Who's my favourite celebrity chef? Do you know who my favourite chef to watch cook at the...

Well, I always used to say, historically, the best cookery programme would have been Gary Rhodes' hands, don't pan up, and...

James Earl Jones just voicing what his hands were doing.

Because Gary Rhodes' hands around food were very beautiful to watch.

And that's the thing with this.

It's like when you can cook and you watch someone with a cookery programme and a cookery book, and you're like, they can't even hold a knife properly.

... like, what I did see with the food industry though, there was a lot of, like, TV chefs coming through now.

So you had Delia Smith, you had Gary Rhodes-

... at the time.

I can't believe it.

Gary, what happened?

I don't know.

I didn't even get to eat my second piece of chicken yet.

We'll just leave them to rest.

So what was it like working with the great Gary Rhodes? Gary Rhodes is one of the most amazing, brilliant, influential chefs I think Britain has ever, ever seen or had.

Like he is a phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal cook.

The way that he just used very simple ingredients.

But that's my chocolate brownie recipe.

The cheesecake recipe that I've got is a Gary Rhodes, bless his heart, RIP recipe baked vanilla cheesecake.

Now I prefer baked vanilla cheesecake over a set cheesecake because I just like the texture and I've got nothing wrong with a set cheesecake but I prefer a baked one.

Anyway, so I don't do the sponge base that he does.

James Monroe yeah just on that

actually I think we said Gary Rhodes is gonna be on the show next week a few weeks ago but like James Monroe he is no longer with us so I

apologize oh when when did that happen

A long time ago, seven years ago.
