I never got to eat at any of Marco Pierre White's restaurants when he was at his swaggering, Michelin star winning prime.

But I read the reviews and drooled and bought his first two cookbooks and marvelled at the results when I tried out the recipes. He was a culinary giant whose legacy is huge.

So why is the godfather of modern British cookery making now appearing on a rubbish ITV cookery show that's a sort of simpleton's answer to the Great British Menu?

His comments are banal and his use of stock cubes a betrayal of everything good cookery should be about.

Anyone tried the Gordon Ramsay Mints that can be found on supermarket shelves?

We took a box to friends last night and they - the mints, not our friends - were horrible: far too complicated with flavours such as caramel and honeycomb jostling for attention alongside the mint and chocolate. I'll stick to good old After Eights in future, I think.

Why do talented (and already incredibly wealthy) chefs such as Ramsay endorse products that can do their reputations no good at all?
