Brooklyn Beckham has sparked outrage after using a lavish ingredient in a simple pasta dish.
Whilst the UK faces the cost of living crisis, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 23, was dubbed as ‘completely out of touch’ for choosing to turn a simple recipe into an unaffordable luxury.
Taking to Instagram to share a video of his newest recipe, the media personality told fans that ‘in my kitchen, [there is] no such thing as too much truffle’.
And with that, Brooklyn proceeded to grate fresh black truffle into cream sauce for tagliatelle pasta, before topping it off with more grated truffle on top of his finished dish.
Fans quickly took to the comments section to share their distaste at the dish - not because it didn’t look appetising, but because it was completely unrealistic for his followers to recreate.
“I wish I could afford the idea of ‘no such thing as too much truffle’,” one viewer wrote, while another wrote: “Because that's what you'll find in the kitchen of an average 20 year old...truffles. Let alone anyone that grinds each day for a paycheck.”
“These people live in a different world. Most people can barely afford to eat at the moment and this kid is waffling on about truffle,” someone else penned, while another explained: “In most kitchens in the UK currently people are going hungry because they can’t afford to eat, even when they’re working.”
Meanwhile, other fans of the star took to Brooklyn’s defense, and claimed that he was simply sharing what makes him happy.
One person said: “Let this man do what brings him joy, I beg,” while another wrote: “
“For gods sake leave the lad alone, if you’re p***** off with what he's doing then just stop following him..simple.”
“Let the man just be, so much negativity. We live in a world where people love to hate,” wrote another.
The Mirror has reached out to a representative of Brooklyn Beckham for comment.
Last year, Brooklyn's wife Nicola said he is 'in heaven' while working as a chef after suggesting he'd been pushed into various careers over the years.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham has shifted careers several times and famously dabbled in photography, releasing his own book and working with fashion models, before dropping out of his college course.
'Ever since the pandemic, all he's wanted to talk about is being in the kitchen, so I just started filming him one day, I said, "This is what you love,"' she explained.
"He felt a lot of pressure to please people with his career and he didn’t love it," the actress told Tatler.
