Victoria Beckham shared her support for her son Brooklyn after he received a backlash over his latest cooking tutorial.
The budding chef has taken to sharing tutorials on social media with his fans, but he doesn’t always receive rave reviews.
In the latest update, he rustled up a ‘Flying Dutchman’ in a sponsored advertising deal with Chosen Foods but fans joked that they’d “heard McDonalds are hiring”.
He introduced: ” You first start off with grounding your meat, then we cut up some potatoes. Next up is the onion. Two similar sizes so it can be replaced by the bun.”
Brooklyn then filed a saucepan with avocado oil – which costs £21 a bottle – before frying potato chips and moving onto the burger.
Fans criticised him for using processed cheese slices and the “wrong type of potato” but Brooklyn’s father took to Instagram to praise his son.
He wrote: “My boy just loves to cook. Just like his dad. Burger was soooo good. Bust.”
Victoria shared her husband’s post on her own Story and joked: “He gets it from me!!” She later shared an adorable picture of Brooklyn and David laughing. She wrote: “My boys!!”
This isn’t the first time Brooklyn’s culinary skills have come under fire with critics slamming his simple recipes and use of pricey ingredients. However, he continues to venture into the world of cooking and earlier this year partnered with Uber Eats to launch his own pop-up restaurant on the food delivery platform.
The short menu offered five of Brookyln’s favourite dishes: chicken tikka masala, slow-cooked Bolognese, pork and prawn dumplings, an English Breakfast sandwich, and a bowl of deep-fried buttermilk cauliflower. Brooklyn did not cook the dishes himself, with Uber confirming that a “team of chefs” would be cooking the food instead.
In an interview with Insider, Brooklyn insisted he is not fazed those that criticise him and he vowed to continue with his culinary career as “cooking makes him happy”. He said: “To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me… I’m doing my thing and working my bum off.”
Brooklyn continued: “To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me… My message to them is to keep writing whatever they want to write.
“There are always going to be people out there who try and pull you down. II’m doing my thing and working my bum off. So they can keep writing what they want, but it’s not going to bother me — I’m just going to keep doing my thing.”
