It continues to be amazing to watch Brooklyn Beckham try out different jobs and fail at them in real time, in front of the world. Like, there is a small part of me which feels sorry for him, because he’s still figuring his sh-t out and trying to learn what he’s passionate about or what he’s good at. On the other side… people need to stop handing him jobs before he knows anything. Currently, his interest is food and cooking. If I was in his position, I would simply go to culinary school? Like, learn a trade and then do that trade and build from there. But no, Brooklyn has to half-ass everything and then build his “brand” from there. Speaking of, Brooklyn posted photos where he was cooking bolognese sauce… and people noticed that there was a whole-ass wine cork in the sauce. Wait until you see how Brooklyn defended his choice.
Brooklyn Beckham’s secret ingredient is causing some controversy. The aspiring chef shared photos of himself preparing a pot of what appears to be bolognese sauce to his Instagram on Wednesday, and some of his followers were quick to notice a cork floating in the food.
“Daddy day care,” Brooklyn captioned the photos showing off his pup in a crossbody sling as he prepared dinner.
“Is the cork added flavour?” one follower asks accompanied by a crying laughing face emoji. Another tickled fan wrote: “Only here for the comments pointing out the cork.”
The son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a screenshot to his story in response to the outrage in the comments. The screenshot showed a highlighted portion of text that reads, “The addition of wine corks added to the cooking liquid ensured a more tender dish.” The text comes from a Feb. 2016 article entitled “Let’s Talk Food: Wine corks ensure more tender octopus” from Naples Daily News.
In the article, writer Doris Reynolds explains that she has “found several recipes for octopus and was amazed that most of them included wine corks in the instructions.” Reynolds article makes no mention of cooking sauce, but rather focuses on the preparation of octopus around the Mediterranean.
He couldn’t even finish reading the whole article, which is about a barely-discussed method of cooking (specifically) octopus and squid. He just saw something about cooking with a cork and he threw a cork into his sauce. While cork isn’t “bad” for you, you shouldn’t f–king put a cork in your sauce and let it simmer. My God. GO TO COOKING SCHOOL, NEPO BABY.

This guy is cringe personified.
I feel second hand embarrassment just by looking at him. Cringe McYikes.
You can’t fix stupid.
This.
This nepo boy is cute. He wouldnt have to work or decide to be all out for us to see how mediocre he is, but still, he tries and makes himself vulnerable to so much negativity out there. I want him on a reality show – he’d make a killing. I hope he has a nice and funny and humble personality.
But he’s not really trying, is the thing. If he really wanted to try his hand at cooking, Kaiser’s right, go to cooking school! That is trying! Doing the work is trying.
He’s cooking while holding a DOG. You know there’s fur in everything he makes and everything that comes out of their fancy ass kitchen.
I don’t care about the cork as much as I care about the animal next to the food.
Agree – yuk, and I’m a dog person, but not a dog around food preparation person!
It’s unsanitary AND obviously very distracting.
The absolute worst I’ve seen is Lisa Vanderpump a Beverly Hills housewife who owned a restaurant would let her alopecia afflicted dog on tables while eating with their friends. She’d also carry it around the restaurant greeting guests. Oh hell no.
Not hygienic and frankly I’m concerned about the dog being that close to a heat source with BB.
THANK YOU. I am FAR more concerned about the DOG IN A SLING than I am the cork. I too have a dog, and I have not successfully managed to keep her out of my open concept kitchen while I’m cooking (“I’d like to see you try, mom!”) but she stays on the floor. Mostly trying to trip me and hoping I drop things, but on the floor nonetheless. This is dangerous and unsanitary and sixteen shades of stupid.
His puppy is very cute. Maybe he will try dog training next.
More likely the dog will be the next thing to fall in the cooking and we’ll be reading links to how eating dog is totally acceptable youu guys!
The only conceivable reason to have an animal that close to a hot stove is because he knows more people are likely to engage with the dog than seeing him cook.
*sign* the amount of wealth this absolute dolt has, while the rest of us are out here working 🫠
He doesn’t want to go to culinary school because that means actual work and commitment and because he already knows how to be the bestest chef.
Nobody knows how the cork actually tenderizes octopus BTW. Some speculate the “enzymes” in the cork but all corks are sterilized via boiling and chlorination so I don’t know about any living enzymes. I think it’s mostly an old wives tale…but it’s hilarious that he just Googled “wine cork and cooking” and decided that was gonna be his cover LOL.
Both the teachers and students at culinary school would eat him alive. Plus, going to culinary school would kill the ability to daydream about his “brand.”
Hey! Just came here to chime in with some science. Enzymes are protein structures created by the body to be catalysts for different reactions. Enzymes are just complex fold of proteins and aren’t alive. So, while boiling and chlorination might denature them (change their folding pattern which changes or removes their function), they can’t be killed. Think of proteins like a string of pearls tangled up
There’s no way he’d stick it out at culinary school. Too much like hard work (like that photography course he jacked in). Also there’s no way I’d want that tiny dog hanging over the hot stove like that – it’s an accident waiting to happen.
Yeah, I worried about that little dog more than I worried about the cork.
Bless him, he’s so hopeless and yet so essentially harmless. Compared to a lot of mega-rich parents I think the Beckhams did an OK job – their kids seem to be healthy, polite young people. You can’t really blame Brooklyn for accepting the offers that come his way – if people are daft enough to pay him for his terrible photos or his bad cooking tips why wouldn’t he take the easy cash?
There’s a lot of people doing far worse things than being an enthusiastic amateur who’s managed to monetise his hobbies, and he’s doing SOMETHING. For a kid who’s been thrown in the spotlight his whole life he’s doing OK.
I can’t make myself google him, so someone please tell me who pays him for this or anything. Does he have an income outside of his allowance from his dad? I get that he is a nice person who doesn’t hurt people intentionally, but I’m not that impressed with the way he turned out as an adult. Trying to figure thimgs out in your youth is one thing, but in his case it looks more like zero work ethic. And he doesn’t even see what the missing piece is. I’d be more impressed if he admitted to not having to work an hour in his life because of his trust fund and devoted his life and platform to charity.
If I were him (an average kid yet born to mega celebrity parents), I’d live off the trust fund and do good works and marry a nice person and raise nice children. Travel a lot. A good life!
What about him cooking with his dog in his hands? I think that’s the even bigger problem here?
Does he know Naples Daily News is Naples Florida, not Naples Italy?
I think of him as PotatoHead Beckham.
Jeez.
Man, who aspires to be a chef, fails at the first hurdle of food hygiene.
I know there are a lot of nepo kids that chase fame, but I think with Brooklyn he was going to get it regardless. His parents are a power couple and the beckham brand is strong so Brooklyn was never gonna have the choice of living a quite life under the radar, even as a baby the media were obsessed with him.
I don’t mind him figuring out his passions, it’s not as if he’s actually getting a job. His passion with be for influencing purposes only.
Oh please if he wanted to live a quiet life he could, fact is he loves the limelight to much to do that.
The media has been obsessed with both Suri cruise and Shiloh Jolie and yet both girl are able to go on about their lives relatively under the radar.
This.
Plus he coold hire a private chef to teach him and not publish anything about it.
Stop. Enjoy your money and live a good life. Stop filming your self because its not going well
Eh, I’m softening on Beckham. He seems like he adores his wife, he took her last name (I think) and he’s trying.
He’s no brilliant thinker, but neither is his dad.
I feel like Peltz will use him as a starter husband and leave him broken hearted.
He seems like a gentle, feckless kind of noob, born into immense wealth but rudderless. I too think Nicola will chew him up and spit him out once she tires of the Beckham glow-up. Nobody knew who she was before she married him and I think she’ll go looking for greener pastures at some point.
You are giving him too much credit in saying or implying he put the wine cork in his dish ‘after’ reading part of an article about preparing octopus and just didn’t get to the end. Much more likely he did it completely accidentally because he’s inept and didn’t even notice when uploading the pics. Then when someone called in out he googled something similar to “put wine cork in food while cooking” and then copied and pasted the link to the first thing he found which he thought covered his arse and even then didn’t have the attention span to proof read it fully.
Ok. I have a culinary degree and I am old. I remembered about how a cork absorbs the grease from foods. I find it better to chill stuff, then remove the hardened fat. Then, pro-tip: strain your broth through cheesecloth for extra de-fatting. That boy will eventually use his noggin.
