]]> As an instantly recognizable celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson knows how to whip up a delicious meal for any occasion. No matter how complicated or simple the dish is, however, there are a few crucial tips that Nigella insists that prospective chefs abide by no matter what they’re cooking. Here are Nigella’s tips that will be sure to help you the next time you’re in the kitchen.

Buy Some Orzo Pasta

In Nigella’s eyes, orzo pasta is a highly-versatile ingredient that can work with a wide variety of dishes, from salads to quick and easy pasta dishes. Also, orzo makes for a decent filler if ever you forget to pick up some ingredients the next time you go grocery shopping.

Keep Tasting

While cooking often involves many steps (some even at once), plenty of concentration is necessary. Still, while following all these steps, you may end up forgetting to taste your food as you cook. Don’t forget this step, Nigella warns, as at the end of the day, it’s important that you enjoy the dish, no matter what the recipe says.

Never Waste Your Mashed Potatoes

Once you’ve finished preparing a dish that involves mashed potatoes, don’t let the remainders go to waste. Instead, put some of the leftovers in your waffle maker for some crispy potato waffles. You can also put them towards your next shepherd’s pie.

]]> Celebrity chefs are all the rage these days. From food bloggers with passionate online followings to chefs who star in highly-rated television programs, there are all kinds of celebrities who share their passion for cooking with loyal fans on a daily basis.

If you flashback to 50 years ago or even just a decade ago, these celebrities were much more difficult to find. Check out these three pioneers who popularized and established the concept of a “celebrity chef” to the world.

Julia Child

Julia Child was arguably the first true “celebrity chef” as she rose to enormous popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. She showed ordinary people how to prepare once-inaccessible high-class French dishes on her beloved television show, showing that making delicious cuisine was possible for everyone.

Bobby Flay

In the 1990s, Bobby Flay revolutionized the concept of what a celebrity chef is. Rising to popularity on the nascent Food Network in the United States, Flay made a transition from Cajun chef into a cooking mogul, hosting a variety of cooking and food programs as well as publishing best-selling cookbooks.

Anthony Bourdain

Before Anthony Bourdain’s untimely passing in 2018, he was truly the king of the celebrity chef world. After starting as a chef at Michelin-starred restaurants in New York City, Bourdain wrote a tell-all book called Kitchen Nightmares that showed the less glamorous side of these kitchens to the world. Next, he starred in television programs that showed off food from around the world to audiences who loved his ability to tell stories through the food of local communities.

// "He was funny and witty and at the same time, knowledgeable about food. Very kind and complimentary to what we were doing. I was very surprised, he had very good manners at the table. He was not this bad boy that I was picturing from the book. And after the meal, we decided that we would see each other for a drink, It was in the subway and that was a real dive bar that I had never seen in my life before. And I was very amused by the type of environment that he liked. That was the beginning of a long friendship between him and I" . – Eric Ripert (On meeting Anthony Bourdain for the first time) . . . . . 👕 Check Link In Bio For Bourdain TeeShirts 📦 Worldwide Shipping 🔖 20% Discount On Everything . . . 🔥 follow @anthonybourdainfanclub ❤ 🔥 follow @anthonybourdainfanclub ❤ 🔥 follow @anthonybourdainfanclub ❤ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ——————————– tags : #anthonybourdain #bourdain #bourdainday #partsunknown #truecooks #chefsofinstagram #truecook #truecooksstreetteam #truecooksfam #chefclub #chefsoninstagram #discoveringchefs #chefsteps #chefsalert #chefstoday #cheflifestyle #travelquotes #foodquotes #chef_book #cheftips #thebestchefsoftheworld #artofcooking #culinaryschool #topchefs #juliachild #gordonramsay #jamieoliver #cheflife #cheftalk
