Introduction Celebrity is much written about by social theorists (McNamara, 2009; Ferri, 2010; Lawler, 2010) and as such there are many taxonomies of celebrity, which Turner (2010) discusses at length. The concept that celebrity is a ‘cultural formation that has a social function’ (Turner, 2010:11), and the contemporary significance of celebrity itself remains a key topic for debate (Couldry and Markham, 2007). Celebrities are considered as role models for millions of people, especially younger citizens (Couldry and Markham, 2007), who are the focus of this study. Pringle (2004:3) suggests that ‘celebrity sells’, and outlines the extent to which society becomes influenced by these figures due to their prevalence in everyday life. Becoming well-known public figures, where they have adversaries as well as fans (Henderson, 2011) celebrities have attracted significant literature, which is split on their benefit and detriment to society (Couldry and Markham, 2007).

  • Gordon Ramsay, a Konyha Fenegyereke
    Gordon Ramsay, a konyha fenegyereke Ha egy olyan vibráló, dinamikus, rutinos konyhaművész főz, mint Gordon Ramsay, gyorsan peregnek az események, ember legyen a talpán, aki a látottak alapján elkészíti az ételeket. Még szerencse, hogy ott a videó! Nemrég karácsonykor Gordon kétféle zseniális karácsonyi menüt készített, egy hagyományosat, és egy „alternatívat”. Utóbbi annyira megtetszett nekem, hogy elhatároztam, kipróbálom, és ezt ajánlom Önöknek is, ha majd itt az ideje! A receptek listája a cikk alján található. Névjegy: Gordon (James) Ramsay 1966 november 8-án született a skóciai Johnstone Renfrewshire- ben. Főszakács, médiaszemélyiség, étteremtulajdonos és szakíró, a A Brit Birodalom Érdemrendje kitüntetettje, több Michelin-csillag tulajdonosa. A Nem piskóta című könyvéből kiderül, hogyan lett egy nyomorban tengődő skót kissrácból akkora híresség, mint amilyenek a focisták vagy a filmsztárok: a szakács, akinek csúcsgasztronómiát képviselő étteremholdingja van, saját szakácsiskolával.Több mint 20 éttermével szerte a világban, New Yorktól a trianoni palotán át egészen Tokióig összesen 12 Michelin-csillagot szerzett. Ezzel, az étterembirodalommal rendelkező séfek között Ramsay a világon a harmadik, Joel Robuchon és Alain Ducasse után. Nagy-Britanniában jelenleg egyike annak a három szakácsnak, akik az éttermük színvonalát a legmagasabb, háromcsillagos szintre fejlesztették. Életútja Ötéves korában került Angliába. Egy lecsúszott brit család gyerekeként arról ábrándozott, hogy híres focista lesz, de egy térdsérülés következtében sportpályafutása megszakadt, és érdeklődése a főzés, a szállodaipar felé fordult. Az 1980-as évek késői szakaszában szakácssegédként dolgozott a Wroxton House Hotelben, majd a Wickham Arms konyháját üzemeltette, ahonnan távoznia kellett, mert összeszűrte a levet a tulajdonos feleségével. Ekkor Londonba költözött, ahol megfordult egy sor különböző konyhán, míg össze nem hozta a sors a temperamentumos Marco Pierre White-tal, aki a saját éttermébe, a Harveys-be hozta.

A study of celebrity cookbooks, culinary personas, and inequality Jose´e Johnston *, Alexandra Rodney, Phillipa Chong University of Toronto, Department of Sociology, 725 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2J4, Canada ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: In this paper, we investigate how cultural ideals of race, class and Available online xxx gender are revealed and reproduced through celebrity chefs’ public identities. Celebrity-chef status appears attainable by diverse voices Keywords: including self-trained cooks like Rachael Ray, prisoner turned high- Food end-chef Jeff Henderson, and Nascar-fan Guy Fieri. This paper Persona investigates how food celebrities’ self-presentations – their culinary Cookbooks personas – relate to social hierarchies. Drawing from literature on Celebrity chefs the sociology of culture, personas, food, and gender, we carry out an Gender inductive qualitative analysis of celebrity chef cookbooks written Inequality by stars with a significant multi-media presence. We identify seven distinct culinary personas: homebody, home stylist, pin-up, chef- artisan, maverick, gastrosexual, and self-made man. We find that culinary personas are highly gendered, but also classed and racialized. Relating these findings to the broader culinary field, we suggest that celebrity chef personas may serve to naturalize status inequities, and our findings contribute to theories of cultural, culinary and gender stratification. This paper supports the use of ‘‘persona’’ as an analytical tool that can aid understanding of cultural inequalities, as well as the limited opportunities for new entrants to gain authority in their respective fields.

    CHEF MAX HARDY EXECUTIVE CHEF ENTREPRENEUR PHILANTHROPIST DETROITER Photo courtesy of AM media Group CHEF MAX HARDY THE BEGINNING Chef Max Hardy got his first taste of the culinary experience in Tampa, Florida, as a student in the culinary arts program at Wharton High School. It was here where he began to show his creative talents, and exceptional culinary skills learned under the ProStart curriculum in high school. Chef Max’s passion and talent for cooking allowed him to matriculate to Johnson & Wales University in Miami, where he expanded on his culinary training. While in college and determined to follow his passion for becoming a world-class chef, Max tapped into his entrepreneurial spirit and started his culinary enterprise - Chef Max Miami. His company specialized in recipes ranging from American, Kosher, French, Asian, to Caribbean cuisine. It’s no surprise Chef Max Miami became a huge success in such a short time. In 2016, lured by the growing reports of Detroit’s comeback, Chef Max left New York City and returned to his hometown Detroit. By 2017 he began work on opening his first restaurant The River Bistro – on Detroit’s westside in the Grandmont-Rosedale neighborhood. In 2018 the Detroit Free Press named River Bistro to its coveted “Top 10 Best New Restaurants” to open in Metro Detroit.
