A third wrote: ‘He needs to get with his audience. Most people can’t afford truffles. I have worked as a chef, very basic what he is doing. Love to see him work in a restaurant kitchen and see how he would manage.’
While a fourth added: ‘These people live in a different world most people can barely afford to eat at the moment and this kid is waffling on about truffle.’
In the cookery clip, Brooklyn was seen making a sauce from scratch, using ingredients including flour, grated garlic, oil and cheese.

He then generously added truffle slices to the creamy sauce, which he heated up in a saucepan while boiling his tagliatelle pasta separately.
Brooklyn, who is married to heiress Nicola Peltz, then transferred his sauce to a frying pan, where he added the pasta and stirred them together to combine.
He was then seen serving up his meal in a hand-painted blue bowl, adding more grated cheese and truffle on top to finish.
Brooklyn then tasted his Italian meal and was seen flashing a thumbs-up as he appeared to approve of his final result.

He often shares his food creations on Instagram, but was recently accused of making a recipe that school children would learn in food technology lessons.
Earlier this week, fans have claimed his a vegan lasagne was ‘basic’ and ‘lacked finesse’ as they critiqued his twist on the Italian classic.
In the tutorial, Brooklyn was seen chopping up onions, garlic and aubergine, before adding them to a pot with a bag of plant-based meat alternative and preprepared tomato sauce.
It wasn’t clear if Brooklyn had previously whipped up the sauce himself, but it wasn’t shown during the video as he added it into the mix.

Once the sauce was ready, he added it to a dish and layered it with cheese and store bought lasagne sheets.
His followers queried why he wasn’t using the traditional béchamel sauce in between the layers, which could easily have been made vegan-friendly.
Brooklyn topped the dish with chopped basil, which one viewer pointed one you should never do because it turns black and should only be pulled with your hands.
He removed the pasta dish from the oven once ready to reveal the finished product to his fans.

After tasting the meal Brooklyn gave it the thumbs up and his wife Nicola was clearly impressed as she re-shared the video, writing: ‘sexy chef.’
However his followers were less impressed, suggesting that the meal could easily have been made by someone of school age.
One person quipped: ‘Next week little Brooklyn will be making dinosaur chicken nuggets.’

Another agreed, and wrote: ‘It’s getting embarrassing for him now. Kids would learn to do this at school.’
A third wrote: ‘No white sauce – not a lasagne and no need to blanch the pasta 3/10.’

Another said: ‘Very basic and literally zero finesse.’

Brooklyn has largely been cooking for Instagram videos over the past few years as he shares basic tips with his followers on meals such as burgers and sandwiches.
But he admitted to Bustle in a recent interview: ‘I’m not a professional chef – at all.’
‘I’ve never said that. I never would say that. Obviously, my dad [retired footballer David Beckham] knew what he was doing at a very young age. I’ve only been doing cooking for not even three years.’
Brooklyn stressed: ‘It’s okay to be 25, 26, or even 30 and not know what you’re doing yet. You know what I mean?’
He recently starred in his own online Cookin’ With Brooklyn series, which saw him enlist a 62-person crew at the eye-watering cost of $100,000 to film him making a sandwich.
In one of the eight-minute episodes, Brooklyn, who has no professional training as a chef, shows his Instagram and Facebook followers how to make a bagel sandwich with a hash brown, coleslaw and fried sea bream.
According to the New York Post, the video had a team of professionals on hand including a ‘culinary producer’ who approves the recipes, five camera operators and nine other producers.
