I'll vote Heston.
I've not seen Ramsey cook for ages. In recent years I've only seen him shouting at failed American restaurant owners about how useless they are. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Ramsay is just a big mouth. The series about Heston trying to improve Little Chef by introducing weird food to the menu was brilliant.

Yeah, Ramsey seems little more than an ego maniac to me. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

When Ramsay just cooks his tv programmes are watchable and informative (ie his Ultimate Cookery Course series), but as an entertainer and tv personality I tend to avoid him. Blumenthal is far more entertaining, though most of what he does is just plain silly and the molecular-gastronomy "science" is a little redundant and vastly over-played, often there is little similarity between what he plays around with during the programme and what is presented to the invited guests at the end. Sometimes it's all just too contrived. As cooks I like them both, probably equally: both are quite technical and precise, both produce food that I want to eat. As cookery writers I'd go for Blumenthal. Ramsay is not as easy to follow as say the boy Oliver or St. Delia, but his recipes work, I just rarely feel inspired to cook any of them. While I think that Blumenthal has only ever written one book that you can practically follow and use (Heston Blumenthal at Home), it does contain recipes that you can use regularly ... and I do... I always do thrice-cooked chips now... and the basic cheese sauce from his ultimate cheese toastie is now my standard for fondue, welsh rarebit and chicken 'cordon bleu'. ------------- What? |

| Heston is quite 'progressive' with his creations whereas Gordon is a hot-head, and if I worked with him and he spoke to me like sh*t, I'd tell him to f**k off...... |

Heston is more entertaining...and that is without ever having to reduce himself to an infantile yelling person.
Ramsay works if he is only cooking or food travelling (and cooking). If he is in the show to talk or in any way convey opinion, then he fails miserably. I loved seeing him fly for India and get inspired. But that's essentially what food is about, so why wouldn't it interest? Tom said Heston is like a chef on acid, I pretty much agree. He's like the food world's answer to Stanley Kubrick:-P Maybe he should do a series of dinners with different Kubrick movie themes. I'd love to attend the 2001 dinner myself. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Me too Chris;-)
Then again, that's a show where he is cooking and actually have to be nice to people. After all he is visiting them:-P ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I really like Danish food shows tbh. Kamilla Plum, Nak & Æd, something called 'Stjerner på slottet' or something to that effect, and had some of the very best Danish chefs on board making food for one another. Also had my own favourite, Søren Gericke, who is like a real life version of the Swedish cook from Muppet Show.
Anyways, these are shows where you really get a sense of the produce and the love put into cooking it. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Ah Brødrene Price! Hahah!!
Yeah, I kinda like them too, although they should stick more to the cooking instead of doing silly sketches. 'Rigelig smør!!!' ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Gordon Ramsay, because he gets angry at unimportant things.
------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
