Both Chefs present thier own shows, F-Word and Ready Steady Cook (BBC 2). Who do you think is the funniest and has more perfection to thier dishes. I said Ainsley Harriott because Gordon named is book the worst cook book ever, and is always criticisng the guy.
I don't think of Ainsley as a chef, more of as a cook - he creates dishes that are easy to duplicate using basic store cupboard items and things which are easily bought. He's great for ideas for weekday meals - but Gordon is more of your 'special-occasion-put-a-lot-of-effort-in-and -shop-in-specialist-places' chef - he's inspirational rather than instructional, if you see what I mean? Both are good in their respective genres, but those genres are very different.
On one Ready Steady Cook they burnt some sausage & he said "there's nothing wrong with a bit of black sausge !!!". On another one there was a white woman from the caribbean with the strongest accent & he said "you never expected to hear an accent like that from a woman of a different colour !!!"
And on a Celebrity RSC everyone was shouting at everyone & Lowri Turner said "why's no-one shouting at you ?" He replied "cause I'm 6'4 & black".
Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer ?

I like Gordon as Ainsley is a bit annoying but i don't like the way Gordon speaks - do this yes ? do that yes ? It's like giving instructions as a way of life, he talks like he's giving orders all the time.

well mr ramsay gets my vote by miles. after reading his new book i understand him completly. he def had a tough time getting to were he is now bless him
Ains is a lovely man, but Gordon has a prescence. Also I have Gordon's books but none by Ains. Seeing as I have hundreds of cookery boook that is a bit odd.
Ainsley is a natural TV presenter, he's entertaining for a mainstream audience. Ramsay is an awesome chef and entertaining but not in a mainstream kind of way.
It's a bit like comparing Bruce Forsythe to Steven Hawking. They both do exactly what it says on the can.
