It's been a while coming for a new hottie to top the food scene but Rachel Khoo is definitely my favourite girl of the moment. Yes of course I had a little crush on Gizzi Erskine who ruffled my foodie feathers with her healthy yet tasty recipes on Cook yourself thin, but Rachel hit the spot with her full fat French food from the moment I laid eyes on the 'Little Paris Kitchen'.
Classing herself as a food creative, Khoo fuses together the creativeness of her art degree past with the skills she learnt from her days at Le Cordon Bleau and by god she produces the goods. In Rachel's 'Little Paris Kitchen' cookery book which is delicately adorned with cutesy food illustrations drawn by the Khoo herself, the book shows an array of classic French recipes with a modern twist, which is after all what she is all about.
The reason I decided to write a post like this was because often in the food world we are bombarded with male chefs such as Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay etc... and there is very little room left for women. Let alone a woman who has created so much excitement not only about french food, but the possibility for other women to enter into a very competitive market and offer something new and exciting involving food. Something which isn't about dieting or being overweight but the enjoyment of superb ingredients, great creative recipes and most importantly the art of cooking itself. This is why I love Rachel Khoo....... plus she rocks the red lipstick, fringe and clothes really well too..... well done Rachel well bloody done.
