Brooklyn Beckham got a roasting on Monday as he attempted to make a grilled cheese sandwich in his latest cooking video.
Taking to Instagram the budding chef, 23, shared a reel which showed step-by-step on how to make the food.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham cooked the toastie in the frying pan to make sure it was crispy, while adding mushroom and ham inside.
The video received mix reviews from fans, with one joking it was a ‘culinary masterpiece’ with several laughing emojis.
Another added: ‘Blowtorching pieces of toast. So unnecessary,’ while a third carped: ‘God this is utterly cringe and boring.’
A fourth wrote: ‘Wow. You blowtorched the bread. So unnecessary.’
However others praised the young cook for his ability, with one commenting: ‘I need to do this for dinner this week. Looks amazing.’
Brooklyn has largely been cooking for Instagram videos over the past few years as he shares basic tips with his followers on meals such as burgers and sandwiches.

But he admitted to Bustle in a recent interview: ‘I’m not a professional chef – at all.’
‘I’ve never said that. I never would say that. Obviously, my dad [retired footballer David Beckham] knew what he was doing at a very young age. I’ve only been doing cooking for not even three years.’
Brooklyn stressed: ‘It’s okay to be 25, 26, or even 30 and not know what you’re doing yet. You know what I mean?’
Brooklyn’s latest post came after he was branded ‘out of touch’ by furious fans for using lavish ingredient truffle to whip up a tagliatelle in his latest cookery tutorial.
In the video, Brooklyn also appeared to take inspiration from his father with his top, as he sported a red England number seven shirt, which David himself inherited.
In the caption, he gushed over his love of truffle, which he used generously to make the dish, writing: ‘In my kitchen no such thing as too much truffle.’
But he was blasted by social media users for using the lavish ingredient, who claimed that it was ‘out of touch’ to do so amid a cost-of-living crisis.
Commenting on his post, one person said: ‘I wish I could afford the idea of “no such thing as too much truffle”.’
Another fumed: ‘We’re in a Cost of living crisis Brooklyn.’
According to 2021 estimates , winter black truffle has an average price of $20.49 per ounce, while burgundy black truffle costs $24.93 per ounce and summer black truffle is worth $22.57 per ounce. It is not known what type of truffle Brooklyn used.
A third wrote: ‘He needs to get with his audience. Most people can’t afford truffles. I have worked as a chef, very basic what he is doing. Love to see him work in a restaurant kitchen and see how he would manage.’
While a fourth added: ‘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.’
In the cookery clip, Brooklyn was seen making a sauce from scratch, using ingredients including flour, grated garlic, oil and cheese.
He then generously added truffle slices to the creamy sauce, which he heated up in a saucepan while boiling his tagliatelle pasta separately.

Brooklyn, who is married to heiress Nicola Peltz, then transferred his sauce to a frying pan, where he added the pasta and stirred them together to combine.
He was then seen serving up his meal in a hand-painted blue bowl, adding more grated cheese and truffle on top to finish.
Brooklyn then tasted his Italian meal and was seen flashing a thumbs-up as he appeared to approve of his final result.
In December, Brooklyn treated his fans to another cooking tutorial – but he stuck to boiling a pot of plain spaghetti after whipping up a salad.
In the video, the star fried tuna steak with black and white sesame seeds and a lemon-and-egg glaze.
For his salad, he sliced up some cucumbers and mixed them with radish and plenty of dressing.
Brooklyn seems to have won a fan in the form of Serena Williams as the tennis player commented on his post asking: ‘Can I come over?’
Brooklyn recently starred in his own online Cookin’ With Brooklyn series, which saw him enlist a 62-person crew at the eye-watering cost of $100,000 to film him making a sanwich.
According to the New York Post, the video had a team of professionals on hand including a ‘culinary producer’ who approves the recipes, five camera operators and nine other producers.
In the sandwich video, Brooklyn simply spread mayonnaise on the bagel and layered the ingredients on top.
He didn’t know how to fry fish and was also heard asking how to know when a hash brown is finished cooking.
In the video, he said: ‘I eat half the fish and then I like, mess it all up and put it in two loaves of bread with the fish, vinegar, salt, mushy peas.’
Speaking to the camera, he added: ‘Coleslaw gives sandwiches a different texture, like a crunchy texture.’
Just a couple of weeks later Brooklyn whipped up a humble fish-and-chip sandwich.
While he previously required assistance to fry a hash brown, the son of David and Victoria Beckham proved that he’d picked up more potato know-how as he began cutting up some potatoes and frying them in oil to make fresh hot chips.
He then salted up the fries, before making his own batter for two small fresh fish fillets, which he cooked in a pan.
Brooklyn then gently placed the crumbling fish fillets onto fresh bread, layered on the chips and finished with the sauce, before cutting the sandwich in half.
In one of the eight-minute episodes, Brooklyn, who has no professional training as a chef, shows his Instagram and Facebook followers how to make a bagel sandwich with a hash brown, coleslaw and fried sea bream.
Culinary whizz? Brooklyn’s new career path has been met with raised eyebrows before, with his segment on The Today Show being mocked by viewers when it aired back in October
According to the New York Post, the video had a team of professionals on hand including a ‘culinary producer’ who approves the recipes, five camera operators and nine other producers.
Brooklyn was also panned for another televised cooking stunt – making a simple breakfast sandwich during a food segment on The Today Show.
The budding photographer appeared on the US programme and shared his ‘recipe’ for an English breakfast sandwich, a dish that he ‘learned from his great-grandma’.
Explaining that he developed a passion for cooking while in lockdown, during which he began posting videos of himself whipping up different dishes on Instagram, he then ran hosts Hoda Kotb and Carson Daly through his sandwich-making process.
