Brooklyn Beckham drops huge cooking bombshell ahead of first restaurant opening

Brooklyn Beckham has sensationally revealed that he has never been professionally taught how to cook, despite opening his first restaurant in just a few days.

According to the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 24, who is married to billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz, he attributes his culinary skills to watching cooking masterclasses.

In a recent interview he said: “Unfortunately, I’ve never done, like, a cooking class, but I’m obsessed with watching MasterClass [online classes with experts in their field].” In the interview, Brooklyn who ferries between Los Angeles, Miami and London added that he has “always” loved cooking.

He told The Times: “I’ve always loved that. I’ve been lucky enough to do videos and hang out with all these different types of chefs, learning different things, like [the renowned US baker] Nancy Silverton, who is one of my favourite chefs. She’s a really cool person.”

Brooklyn has been the subject of ridicule from jumping from one profession to another as he struggled to find what made him happy. As a youngster, the aspiring chef started playing for the youth team of Arsenal FC but following in his father’s footsteps was not meant to be.

He then entered the world of fashion, similar to that of his mother Victoria, as he welcomed a career as a fashion model. He then thought photography was better suited to him and joined the Parsons School of Design in New York. But he quit after less than a year as he reportedly felt homesick.

However, since lockdown it looks as though he found his true calling with posting videos of himself cooking. In 2021, encouraged by his loving wife, he posted videos for his two million Instagram followers and this led to Cookin’ With Brooklyn, a Facebook and Instagram series of eight-minute episodes. This showed viewers how to carve a hole in a £800 cheese wheel.

Each film reportedly cost £100,000 to create. But due to his persistence, Brooklyn is set to open up his first pop-up restaurant and has teamed up with Uber Eats. Fans in London will be able to order Brooklyn’s meals to their home using the food delivery app. But this will only be available for a limited time as his kitchen open on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 January between the hours of 5pm and 10pm.

And there is a also a limited menu which consists of only five items. And this includes his “Nanny Peggy English Breakfast sandwich” and also a 12-hour slow cooked bolognese. In a statement he said: “My Nanny Peggy taught me how to make her English Breakfast sandwich when I was 5, 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.”

He added: “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!” Other dishes include a Chinese-style pork and prawn dumplings, and chicken tikka masala which is £15. He He added: “Ordering an Indian takeaway is the most British thing to do, it’s something I grew up with, with my mum and dad in Sawbridgeworth [also known as Beckingham Palace].”

He went on to say: “Spaghetti bolognese is probably my favourite thing to cook. It’s my wife’s favourite thing that I cook. I’ve been doing it for so many years. It means a lot to me just because my dad taught me how to make it when he was playing for AC Milan and we all went out there for a couple of months. It reduces down for 12 hours and smells out the whole house.”

Over recent years, there has been talk of Brooklyn being a nepo-baby. But hitting back at those claims, Brooklyn told the publication: “I don’t do photography any more, I just take photos of my wife. I always wish them well, the haters. I’m just doing what I love doing, staying healthy, being happy, and that’s what it is. There are always going to be people out there who try and pull you down.”

And speaking about his “death-row meal”, the online cook said it had to be “probably pie and mash with liquor, jellied eels.” When asked if he actually liked jellied eels, he replied: “They’re OK, I’m not obsessed with them. I much prefer the mash.” Another of his favourites dishes is another UK favourite, fish and chips – and he prefers his chips to be chunky. He continued: “Chunky! All of my mates in LA are, like, ‘I don’t know how you eat those fries that are so thick’. I say: ‘You don’t understand.’ The best in England is when you go on the street and you find one of those guys who was selling the chips out of the newspaper with a bunch of vinegar and a bunch of salt.”

It seems Brooklyn’s love of food was inspired by his dad, who was the main one to cook while he was growing up. He said: “My dad was always the one cooking in the house, my mum not so much. I loved hanging out with him in the kitchen.” Speaking about the first thing he claims to have cooked he said: “Probably Super Noodles, you can’t go wrong with Super Noodles.”
