We enjoy watching Dinner Impossible <\/em>— but it seems that the chef, Robert Irvine, may have, um, cooked up a few things<\/a> in his biography<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

A celebrity British chef who has his own TV show in America faces the sack after he was unmasked as a fraud. Robert Irvine claimed he had helped make the wedding cake for the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana. And in a bid to impress Americans the former royal chef said he was knighted by the Queen – and even boasted that he had been given a castle as a reward for his work in her kitchens.<\/p>\n

Irvine, who presents a show called “Dinner: Impossible” on the Food Network channel, has now admitted he cooked up huge parts of his CV. He claimed to have cooked at the White House and received an award for his work from a prestigious US based cooking academy. But following a failed business in St Petersburg, Florida, which left a trail of bad debts he has now been exposed as a liar. Bosses at the Food Network are now considering what action to take against Irvine.<\/p>\n

[…] Irvine had also claimed that he had cooked at the White House, but his only involvement was on an overseas visit with the Royal family when he was in the West Wing kitchens. His five star award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences was bought over the internet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yikes. The show is still a hoot — with time \/ resource \/ location challenges thrown at Irvine and his assistants to get a meal for dozens \/ hundreds \/ thousands cooked up … but I suspect, if the charges are true, we won’t be seeing him again on the Food Channel any time soon.<\/p>\n
