Are celebrity chefs good for us?
A Celebrity chefs are the new rock and roll! People are used to thinking of singers and actors as celebrities, but more and more kitchen chefs are becoming famous. In South Korea, they even have a special name for them – ‘cheftainers’.
B Celebrity chefs become famous names when they make popular TV shows. They also write bestselling cookbooks. Some supermarkets use chefs to sell special food items and many chefs open chains of restaurants. Cooking is big money. UK chef Jamie Oliver and his wife are on the UK ‘Rich List’.
C Celebrity chefs don’t just make money. They can make important changes to the way we think about food and the food we buy. Jamie Oliver is famous for his work on ‘food education’ and for helping to put healthy food on UK school menus. Jamie wants all school children to be able to have a hot, healthy meal during the day. He thinks it’s good for their health and also that good food helps children to learn better.
D He also wants to change the way that adults eat. He understands that many people are ‘time poor’. A lot of parents work and don’t have time to cook big meals at the end of the day. His TV show 15-Minute Meals helps people prepare fresh, healthy meals in a small amount of time.
E Not everyone is very keen on celebrity chefs though. Some people say that their food is actually less healthy than ready meals from supermarkets. For example, famous UK chef Nigella Lawson regularly uses much more butter and sugar than the cakes we find in shops. So choose your celebrity chef carefully – some of their food can be bad for you!
