Brooklyn Beckham’s eight-minute cooking show is costing an eye-watering £74,000 ($100,000) to produce a single episode, according to stunning reports.
The 22-year-old model and photographer is channelling his passion into cooking rather than following in David Beckham’s footsteps as a footballer.
Cookin’ With Brooklyn is available on Watch Together via Facebook Messenger’s streaming service, with Beckham’s eldest son embarking on his fledgling chef career.

According to the New York Post, a reported team of ‘62 professionals’ were needed to help Brooklyn ‘demonstrate how to make a sandwich.’
Nine producers, five cameramen and a culinary producer are among those who have been enlisted for Brooklyn’s Facebook-based show.

Brooklyn offers his spin on a traditional British fish and chips in one clip, with the aspiring chef putting coleslaw on a bagel topped with sea bream and a hash brown.

“He doesn’t know how to batter or fry a piece of fish. He has no idea how long it might take to fry a hash brown,” Alison Boshoff wrote.
Brooklyn has been met with fierce criticism over his lack of formal culinary training, with the aspiring chef picking up lessons from famous figures on his show.

His fish and chips with a twist was produced during a cooking lesson with Yeastie Boys founder Evan Fox.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn also received a demonstration on his show from world-renowned Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa.
“He is to cooking what [his mother] Posh was to singing,” one source said.
