Another Celebrity Chef in the Stew

No and have no personal interest as AWT is only getting TV coverage as a "celebrity".

The problem with coverage like this is that it is not balanced. AWT is without doubt a great chef. But does that make him a great businessman? The jury's still out until more information comes to light.

Sorry Conrad, but that phrase has been rattling around in my head for the past couple of days.

If things don't go to plan...maybe they'll give me a job on the switchboard? I may have to move to Mumbai though.

The hardest thing to combine is creative skills (the basis of the business) and the day to day skills of running the damm thing.
OK, one can employ the latter, but still, core creative types have to work really hard at the business side.
Likewise, someone very skilled in business would have a tough time doing the creative part of my job as well.

It should be pretty obvious even to celebrity chefs that cutting out restaurant bills is probably the easiest way for ordinary people to cut back on their discretionary expenditure.

I'm so MSE that I have cut out actually buying the celeb chef cook books and google the recipes now.

I cope with the delicious G ramsey's ones best........as they often have ideas for the contents of my veg box.

BTW, I am very ''now''.
