Title: Brooklyn Beckham Makes Cookery Comeback After Criticism from King Charles’ Former Chef, Prepares Pasta for Nicola Peltz in ’00s "Jesus Is My Homeboy" Shirt

Brooklyn Beckham Defends Cooking Videos Amid Chef Backlash and Family Feud

Brooklyn Beckham, 26, has resumed sharing Instagram cooking content despite recent criticism from top chefs. His latest video, showcasing a “simple tomato pasta sauce,” comes weeks after celebrity chef Aldo Zilli slammed his spaghetti carbonara for “burning bacon” (Image 1: Brooklyn cooking pasta).

Aldo, 69, mocked Brooklyn’s technique, claiming he “jumped on the bandwagon” and needed a masterclass. King Charles’ former chef Darren McGrady also criticized Brooklyn’s prior use of seawater to cook pasta, calling it “ridiculous” and warning of bacteria risks (Image 2: Aldo Zilli; Image 3: Darren McGrady).

Undeterred, Brooklyn’s Sunday video featured a retro vibe, soundtracked by Ashanti’s 2002 hit Foolish and a “Jesus Is My Homeboy” T-shirt reminiscent of early-2000s celebrity fashion (Image 4: Brooklyn’s retro tee). His wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, joined him poolside to taste the dish, with the couple exchanging “I love yous” (Image 5: Brooklyn and Nicola).

Brooklyn defended his controversial carbonara method, insisting, “Guanciale has a lot of sugar—that’s why it’s darker. I slow-cooked it; it’s not burned.” Meanwhile, McGrady advised against seawater pasta, stating, “Italians would be horrified… [it’s] too salty and unsafe.”

The cooking drama unfolds amid reports of a family rift. Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows on August 2 in a lavish Westchester County ceremony attended by her family, but notably absent were his parents, David and Victoria Beckham (Image 6: Vow renewal). Sources claim the Beckhams found the vow renewal “gratuitous” so soon after their 2022 wedding, deepening tensions.

“They’d understand if it was 10 years later, but three? It seems excessive,” an insider shared. Despite efforts to reconcile, the relationship remains strained, with fears “there’s no way back now.”

Brooklyn continues to focus on his culinary passion, ignoring critics and showcasing his dishes with Nicola’s support. Whether his cooking skills win over skeptics—or his family—remains to be seen.
