He has been mocked for his ‘basic’ skills in the kitchen and ‘disastrous’ cooking tutorials.
But Brooklyn Beckham is now cashing in on his questionable talents by opening his first restaurant.
From whipping up his Nanny Peggy’s English Breakfast Sandwich to creating an ‘experimental’ gin and tonic, and blow-torching a cheese toastie for his 16.4 million Instagram followers – the nepo chef is known for his contemporary approach to cooking.
And now Brooklyn, 24, has created a menu for his pop-up eatery which will offer five dishes inspired by his ‘global upbringing’.
Speaking of his new venture, He told the Mail: ‘I’ve been lucky enough to live in some pretty cool places.
‘I got my wife on Indian and Chinese takeaway. She’s obsessed with it now.
‘My Nanny Peggy taught me how to make her English Breakfast sandwich when I was five, and it’s been my favourite ever since.
‘I’ve always been into trying different foods, cuisines, and cultures, but that was one of my earliest memories of loving cooking.
‘Spending time in the kitchen is definitely something me and my dad bond over… even though I think I make my English Breakfast sandwich better, he does make a pretty good one!’
The restaurant will be based in East London and will feature his famous Nanny Peggy’s breakfast sandwich.
The menu will also include a Chicken Tikka Masala, 12-hour slow cooked Wagyu Bolognese, Pork and Prawn Dumplings and Buffalo Cauliflower with Brooklyn’s ‘secret’ hot sauce.
The eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham has previously been panned for his cooking videos.
Featuring on Vogue’s channel where he cooked for wife Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2021, fans branded him ‘out of touch’ for using pricey ingredients.
One critic said on social media: ‘I wish I could afford the idea of ‘no such thing as too much truffle’.’
Another fumed: ‘We’re in a Cost-of-living crisis Brooklyn.’
He now often takes to his Instagram to show off his creations in tutorials and has been trying his utmost to launch a cooking career and has fronted a Cookin’ With Brooklyn series.
Monetising on his skills, the budding chef recently landed a sponsorship deal with Typhur Culinary, advertising a £500 air fryer.
In 2022 he co-founded and partnered with WeSake, an emerging Japanese sake drinks brand.
He also has a partnership with trendy oil brand Chosen, which he has been known to plug on his social media.
Dishes at the pop-up restaurant will start from £10 and is partnered with Uber Eats so that customers can get the dishes delivered straight to their doors.
