Reality TV chef Gordon Ramsay is causing controversy yet again, this time by sensationally claiming that women can't cook.
The outspoken restaurateur told the Radio Times: "Seriously, there are huge numbers of young women out there who know how to mix cocktails but can't cook to save their lives, whereas men are finding their way into the kitchen in ever-growing numbers.
"Trust me, I am only telling you what I have discovered."
Ramsay made the comments while promoting his new TV show The F-Word, in which he challenges cooks around the country to blind tasting competitions.
So his outburst is effectively a challenge to women everywhere.
"If there is some little old lady out there who thinks she can make better Dundee cake than me or has a recipe for Lancashire hotpot that will knock spots off mine then she can come on the show, no problem," Ramsay said.
