Brooklyn Beckham has spoken about his love for cooking after being criticised over his “ridiculous” kitchen tutorials.
The 24-year-old posted a Michelin Guide video to his Instagram in which he discussed his and wife Nicola Peltz’s favourite food and spots to eat in LA.
The wannabe chef, who graced the red carpet with Peltz on Monday, started the video by sharing his memories of dining with his famous parents David and Victoria Beckham growing up.
He said: “I grew up in London. I always used to go to the pub, and we used to go after my dad played football.
“I didn’t drink, because I was too young, but I used to have the pie and mash and fish and chips in the newspaper with vinegar.”
However, his palate has broadened over the years: “My and my wife, we are obsessed, our favourite food is Japanese – they way the Japanese treat food, they are so careful and so precise,” he said.
“I love cooking because it’s one of the few things that takes my mind off anything that’s happening,’ he continued.
“One of the many things I like about chefs is they are so artistic, they are so hardworking, and it’s always every day, every minute of every hour trying to master their craft.”
Last week, he was ridiculed as he shared a video on the social media site of him giving a tutorial on how to make a grilled cheese sandwich while sporting a hole in the crotch of his trousers.
His followers were quick to slam the move.
One wrote: “Blowtorching pieces of toast. So unnecessary,” A second added: “God this is utterly cringe and boring.” “Please tell me this is satire,” wrote another.
A fourth added: “The hole is distracting me," while a fifth commented: “Can you not afford a pair of trousers without holes? Btw go back to photography ... This is embarrassing and ridiculous.”
This isn’t the first time the former photographer has faced backlash for his meal videos.
He was called out by fans for one very basic salad and plain spaghetti tutorial, and attracted criticism for reportedly hiring a film crew for $100,000 to film him making a sandwich, as well as requiring assistance with frying a hash brown.
He recently admitted to Bustle: “I’m not a professional chef – at all.
“I’ve never said that. I never would say that. Obviously, my dad knew what he was doing at a very young age. I’ve only been doing cooking for not even three years.”
