The expletive-loving chef, 57, has been embroiled in a feud with Jamie Oliver since 2009, but that hasn’t stopped his wife, Tana, from using the fellow chef’s recipes
Gordon Ramsay has cheekily confessed that his wife Tana Ramsay prefers to whip up dishes from Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks, despite the well-known rivalry between the two celebrity chefs.
The 57 year old culinary star revealed on Angela Harnett and Nick Grimshaw’s podcast ‘Dish’ how tough it is to watch his other half use recipes from his long-time adversary.
Gordon spilled the beans after Angela mentioned how relaxed Tana seems when cooking at home: “If you see Tana when I’ve been round for supper, she’s so relaxed. But why should she switch? “.
“She’s got five kids and she’s got him hanging around trying to interfere and she’s just out and she just cooks something everyone wants to eat, like a great lasagne or a brilliant shepherd’s pie. She’s amazing.”
Gordon, who shares children Megan, 26, Holly, 24, Jack, 24, Tilly, 22, Oscar, five, and Jesse, nine months, with Tana, humorously interjected: “Yeah and they’re all Jamie Oliver recipes. Do you have any idea how hard that is for me? “.
The playful feud between Gordon and Jamie began heating up when Jamie was offended by Gordon’s remarks about journalist Tracey Grimshaw. Following an apology to Tracey, Gordon had labelled Jamie a “one pot wonder”.
Jamie, father to Poppy, 22, Daisy, 19, Petal, 15, Buddy, 13, and River, eight, with his spouse Jools, 49, hit back by teasing Gordon about “having Botox” and quipped: “If I was to choose between Gordon Ramsay’s cookbook or Tana Ramsay’s, it would be Tana’s every time. In my opinion, her books are a damn sight better than his.”
Gordon Ramsay has since changed his tune about Jamie Oliver, calling him a “great guy” and even revealing he reached out to Jamie following the collapse of Jamie’s restaurant chain in 2019. Gordon shared: “Bottom line is, he’s a great guy and a great chef and it was sad to see him disappear overnight but we had a drink and it was a tough time.”
