There were two new food programmes on Channel 4 this week – How to cook like Heston and The Fabulous Baker Brothers. One felt ‘real’ and one seemed totally manufactured ……but which one was which? We expect Heston to be whimsical and off the wall but what he explained about how to cook beef properly made total sense and made me want to head off to my butcher NOW! We are definitely having steak this weekend.
The Baker Brothers however, were just eye candy. Do I believe they are brothers with adjoining baker and butcher shops? Not really. The spaces they worked in were styled to the nth degree. It looked like a production company had dreamed them up.
Apologies to the brothers if that is what they are but for me Heston was the more real.
