Gordon Ramsay has announced that he is sick of seeing male chefs on TV and wants to find a modern day Fanny Craddock to raise the female profile in cooking.
Gordon told The Sun:
“The world needs a new female cook. I’m genuinely fed up with the glut of alpha male chefs crowding the screen and battling for supremacy.
“I’m horrified by the lack of women cooks – especially on TV. I want to fill the shoes of legendary TV cook Fanny Cradock.”
He will launch his Find Me A Fanny search in the new series of Channel 4’s Gordon Ramsay’s F Word on May 8.
A C4 spokesman said: “If you’re a woman and you think you can show Nigella Lawson and Delia Smith a thing or two, or even Gordon, then he wants you!
“When he finds the winner she’ll even get her own slot on The F Word.”

Fanny Craddock was an icon of her time and showed thosands of women how they could cater in the home with glamour and style. If you are looking for a 2007 “new Fanny” she must be a “juggler” managing a job, active in the community, the bed-rock of her family AND a good cook - who knows how to create a fabulous “essence” of quality and fun in the kitchen. I’m not sure that I quite meet the grade - but I do buy the best ingredients I can find, cook with my family, take part in the odd triathlon, party hard, and travel to find out more about wine and tastes. I do juggle a career, a day as a hospice volunteer and family life. I have a great kitchen and I have lots of fun making food a key part of life. I also have a wonderful husband who plays a brilliant supporting role - particularly as wine waitor. So how do I find out more about this opportunity?
