Gordon Ramsay Accuses Jamie Oliver Of Stealing Recipes, Makes Fun Of His Book
Gordon Ramsay took a dig at fellow British chef Jamie Oliver and accused him of stealing other people's recipes.
In a video shared on his Instagram page Sunday, the 55-year-old chef can be seen pointing at himself and wagging his finger to signal no. He turns around while dancing to show how he has shoved Oliver's recipe book, titled "Jamie's Dinners: The Essential Family Cookbook," down his pants. The book was originally published on Nov. 3, 2004.
"I bet you are one of those chefs that just steal other people's recipes," Ramsay wrote.
Ramsay credited his 20-year-old daughter, Matilda Ramsay, for the video as he captioned the post, "When you let @tillyramsay do your social media 😂😂😂Kid....my secrets out !!"
Oliver himself took to the comments section to reply to the post.
"Copy of my new cookbook ONE heading your way when it's out in September then," he wrote. The comment was later deleted.
Many other celebrities also shared their reactions. Food writer Dennis Prescott wrote, "LOL," along with a fire emoji, while chef Ali Mandhry commented, "Day made" with laughing emoji.
Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, who often roasts Oliver in his YouTube videos, wrote, "The only place jamie Oliver cookbook should be."
Ramsay and Oliver's feud began in 2000 when they first came together to film a show, titled "Food Fight." During the show, Ramsay criticized an Australian journalist and called her a pig. Oliver later shared it was not a good thing to criticize a woman, especially on national television.
The comment didn't go well with Ramsay, who noted that the last time he complained about food was at a restaurant owned by Oliver. The conflict between the two worsened when Ramsay appeared on "The Nightly Show" in 2017 and commented on Oliver's weight.
"I just want to say that I'm sorry," Ramsay said. "I have been hard on you this week, Jamie. I've called you fat, I've criticized your restaurants, called you fat, said you enjoyed prison sex, and called you fat."
"What I said was hurtful, Jamie. I don't want to make you cry," he added. "The last thing I want to do is look at your cute face and think: blubber, blubber, blubber."
In response, Oliver said he is a mature person and doesn't want to drag the fight further.
