Brooklyn Beckham discusses food after being SLAMMED for his ‘disastrous’ cooking tutorials
Brooklyn Beckham has discussed his passion for cooking after receiving backlash for his “disatarous” kitchen manuals.
In a Michelin Guide video posted to his Instagram, the 24-year-old aspiring chef said being in the kitchen helped him “take his mind off it.”
He also revealed his and wife Nicola Peltz’s favorite foods while discussing the “food scene” of his LA stomping grounds.
David and Victoria Beckham’s son started the video by discussing his early memories of cooking with his famous parents.
He said: ‘I grew up in London. I used to go to the pub, and we used to go after my dad who 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.”
But his taste has matured over the years saying, ‘My and my wife, we are obsessed, our favorite food is Japanese, the way the Japanese treat food, they are so careful and so precise’.
Brooklyn then spoke passionately about the kitchen, telling his followers, “I love to cook because it’s one of the few things that takes my mind off everything that’s going on.”
Continuing: “One of the many things I love about chefs is that they are so artistic, they work so hard, and they always try to master their craft every day, every minute of every hour.
Last week, he let fans down when he filmed yet another cooking video featuring a huge hole in his sweatpants.
He took to Instagram to share a reel showing step-by-step how to make a grilled cheese sandwich.
Fans who weren’t impressed were quick to roast the star about his “boring” and “unnecessary” tutorial, while others took notice of his fashion faux pas in the video.
They took to the comment section and were quick to share their confusion over why he had filmed with a hole in his pants.

One person wrote, “There seems to be something wrong with the pants,” while another asked, “Is there a hole in your pants, or am I tripping?”
A third said, “The hole distracts me,” and a fourth added, “I like the easily accessible hole in your sweatpants.”
In the tutorial, he cooked a toasted sandwich in a frying pan to make sure it was crispy while adding mushrooms and ham.
The video received mixed reviews from fans, with one joking that it was a “culinary masterpiece” featuring several laughing emojis.
Another added, “Blowtorching pieces of toast. So unnecessary,” while a third taunted, “God, this is utterly cringe-worthy and boring.”
A fourth wrote: “Wow. You burned the bread. So superfluous.’
Others, however, praised the young cook for his ability, commenting, “I have to do this for dinner this week.” Looking awesome.’
Brooklyn has largely been cooking for Instagram videos in recent years, sharing basic tips with his followers on meals like burgers and sandwiches.
But he admitted to Bustle in a recent interview, “I’m not a professional chef at all.”
‘I never said that. I would never say that. Obviously, my father [retired footballer David Beckham] knew what he was doing at a very young age. I’ve only been cooking for three years.’
Brooklyn’s latest post came after he was labeled “out of touch” by irate fans for using lavish truffle ingredients to whip up a tagliatelle in his latest cooking tutorial.
In the video, Brooklyn also seemed to take inspiration from his dad with his top, as he wore a red England number seven shirt, which David himself inherited.
In the caption, he gushed about his love of truffle, which he used liberally to make the dish, writing, “There’s no such thing as too much truffle in my kitchen.”
But he was criticized by social media users for using the lavish ingredient, who claimed it was “out of reach” to do so amid a cost-of-living crisis.

Commenting on his post, one person said, “I wish I could afford the idea of ’no such thing as too much truffle.'”
Another furious: “We’re in a cost-of-living crisis Brooklyn.”
According to 2021 estimates, black winter truffle has an average price of $20.49 per ounce, while burgundy black truffle costs $24.93 per ounce and black summer truffle is worth $22.57 per ounce. It is not known what kind of truffle Brooklyn used.
A third wrote: ‘He needs to get to his audience. Most people cannot afford truffles. I have worked as a chef, very basic what he does. I love seeing him work in a restaurant kitchen and see how he would make it.”
While a fourth added: ‘These people live in a different world that most people can hardly afford at the moment and this boy is chattering about truffle.’
The cooking clip showed Brooklyn making a sauce from scratch, using ingredients like flour, grated garlic, oil, and cheese.
He then generously added truffle slices to the creamy sauce, which he heated up in a pan while cooking his tagliatelle pasta separately.
