Brooklyn Beckham sparks backlash for adding costly ingredient to basic pasta dish

Brooklyn Beckham has stirred up a frenzy after using "too much" of a costly ingredient in one of his cooking videos.

The eldest son of David Beckham has recently taken up food as his next calling, regularly sharing cooking tutorials of his favourite meals and drinks on social media.

But the 23 year-old has been branded as "completely out of touch" after transforming a simple pasta recipe into a costly luxury. Sharing his latest recipe on Instagram, the son of David Beckham said that t "in my kitchen, [there is] no such thing as too much truffle".

As reported by the Mirror, the media personality then grated a large amount of black truffle into a cream sauce over tagliatelle pasta, instantly upping the dishes value, as Brits endure a crippling cost of living crisis.

The rare ingredient starts at £50 per mushroom and has a rich flavour that most chefs use sparingly. Fans quickly took to the comments to blast Beckham's recipe as they believe it be completely unrealistic 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.
