We all love a bit of cooking – getting creative in the kitchen can turn a basic, bland dish into something far more satisfying and fun. For some of us, though, the best way to get inspired in the kitchen is to look at the experts. Many leading chefs in the world today can be found in just about any kind of culinary culture you wish to look into. Who, though, are some of the most famous chefs in the world today?
Gordon Ramsey
The Scottish chef might be more noted for his angry TV persona than for his actual cooking, but Ramsey is an elite chef. He has been in charge of so many restaurants and TV shows that his advice, insight, and knowledge of the cooking world ensures that he remains one of the most visible and beloved chefs in the industry. Whether you enjoy watching him lose with someone over a minor mistake or his far more kind-hearted approach to some others, or you just like his food, Mr. Ramsey is great entertainment.
David Chang
If you are looking for a famous chef who hails from America, then take a look at David Chang. Despite being born and raised in the USA, he was trained as a chef in Japan and thus combines American bombast with Japanese discipline. He created his popular restaurant brand, the NY-based restaurant business Momofuku, and today has become known for its unique blend of American and Japanese food all served together in a delightful culinary combination.
Jacques Pepin
Another name on our list of French chefs is Jacques Pepin. He is widely regarded in culinary circles as one of the most rounded and expansive chefs out there. He has spent large portions of his life traveling around and seeing the world, so he can offer some very engaging insights into a culinary culture outside of only France. His cookbooks, which are mostly focused on French cuisine, are must-try books!
Paul Bocuse
The French love their cooking, and a compatriot of Pepin’s, Paul Bocuse, makes our list because of this. Bocuse is regarded as a top-class chef and managed to open up a restaurant in the hugely competitive Parisian cuisine scene. His restaurant, L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges, is a major hit with people from all around the world and is seen as one of the most reliable restaurants that you are likely to find in Paris today.
