Brooklyn Beckham gets a roasting over grilled cheese sandwich in another disastrous cookery tutorial
Brooklyn Beckham got fried Monday when he tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich in his latest cooking video.
The aspiring chef, 23, took to Instagram and shared a reel showing step-by-step how to make the food.
David and Victoria Beckham’s son cooked the sandwich in the frying pan to make sure it was crispy, 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 emphasized, “It’s okay to be 25, 26 or even 30 and not know what you’re doing yet. You know what I mean?’
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.

Brooklyn, who is married to heiress Nicola Peltz, then transferred his sauce to a skillet, where he added the paste and tossed them together to combine.
He was then seen serving up his meal in a hand-painted blue bowl, with more grated cheese and truffle on top to top it off.
Brooklyn then tasted his Italian meal and saw a thumbs up as he seemed to approve of his final result.
In December, Brooklyn treated his fans to another cooking tutorial, but he stuck to cooking a pot of plain spaghetti after whipping up a salad.

For his salad, he sliced up some cucumbers and tossed them with radishes and plenty of dressing.
Brooklyn seems to have gained a fan following in the form of Serena Williams when the tennis player responded to his post asking, “Can I come over?”
Brooklyn recently starred in his own online Cookin’ With Brooklyn series, in which he hired a 62-person crew for the eye-watering prize of $100,000 to film him making a sandwich.
According to the New York Post, the video had a team of professionals on hand, including a “culinary producer” who approves the recipes, five cameramen and nine other producers.
In the sandwich video, Brooklyn simply spread mayonnaise on the bagel and placed the ingredients on top.
He didn’t know how to fry fish and was also asked how to know when a hash brown was done cooking.
In the video he said, “I eat half the fish and then I like, mix it all up and put it in two loaves with the fish, vinegar, salt, mushy peas.”
Speaking to the camera, he said, “Coleslaw gives sandwiches a different texture, like a crunchy texture.”
Just a few weeks later, Brooklyn made a humble fish-and-chip sandwich.
While he previously needed help baking hash browns, David and Victoria Beckham’s son proved he had more potato knowledge when he started cutting up some potatoes and frying them in oil to make fresh hot chips.
He then salted the fries before making his own batter for two small fresh fish fillets, which he cooked in a pan.
Brooklyn then carefully placed the crumbling fish fillets on fresh bread, layered on top of the fries and topped with the sauce before cutting the sandwich in half.
In one of the eight-minute episodes, Brooklyn, who has no professional chef training, shows his Instagram and Facebook followers how to make a bagel sandwich with hash brown, coleslaw, and pan-fried sea bream.
Culinary enjoyment? Brooklyn’s new career path has previously been met with raised eyebrows, with his segment on The Today Show mocked by viewers when it aired in October
According to the New York Post, the video had a team of professionals on hand, including a “culinary producer” who approves the recipes, five cameramen and nine other producers.
Brooklyn was also panned for another televised cooking stunt: making a simple breakfast sandwich during a food segment on The Today Show.
Appearing on the American program, the budding photographer shared his “recipe” for an English breakfast sandwich, a dish he “learned from his great-grandmother.”
He explained that he developed a passion for cooking while in lockdown, in which he began posting videos of himself preparing various dishes on Instagram, then guided hosts Hoda Kotb and Carson Daly through his sandwich-making process.
