Best 10 Restaurants on Screen CelebritiesMaking this choice was remarkably challenging. However, I made the foolish decision to give best marks to cooks who mostly understand and use the channel. Instead, I chose those who have a combination of knowledge and passion ( not to be confused with pure sauciness, mind ) plus the ability to make the viewer drool until they are thrust into the kitchen. Kind of 'Can't Cook, Did Cook'. The populist, telegenic ratings-winners who shift retailer merchandise by the barrel-load and affect the nation's grilling routines would have been the apparent candidates, in my opinion. Screen chefs may induce a primal need to recreate the foods so that we can taste it first. Which is why Delia doesn't make it to the top.

The Ladies were a fantastic and plausible TV construct, somewhat comparable to Kym, Suzanne, Myleene, Danny, and Noel put together. Whether the cameras were with them or not, you could picture them traveling around the country on Jennifer's Triumph Thunderbird and eating calorie-busting Christmas dinners for nuns.

You'd think you could agree with Graham Kerr, The Galloping Gourmet, but Kerr is here for nostalgic and sentimental reasons. Not only was this the first time telly cookery hadn't been presented like a chemistry lesson, but it was also the first time a TV chef had dished up food, chat and flirtation in front of a live studio audience.
