Depp & Jolie are the dishes of the day this Valentine’s

Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie have topped a poll by kitchen manufacturer and retailer Sigma 3 of celebrities Britons would most like to cook for on Valentine’s Day.

But it’s a different story when being cooked for, as Britons would prefer TV chefs Gordon Ramsey and Nigella Lawson to don their aprons and cook up a storm for them on February 14th.


Sweeney Todd star Depp compounded David Beckham’s miserable month after his axe from the England squad by polling 28% of the vote, just 1% more than the L.A. Galaxy footballer. Sean Connery was top of the menu when women over 40 were asked who they would most like to cook for, polling 31% of the vote. Almost a third of men decided Angelina Jolie would look great sat at their dining table, beating Oscar winner Helen Mirren into second place (26%).


When it came to being cooked for, Britons let their taste-buds rule over Hollywood glamour with half of women choosing Gordon Ramsey as the ideal Valentine’s chef and three quarters of men deciding Nigella Lawson would look great in an apron on the special day.


However, the likely reality facing couples across the country this Valentine’s Day was not on many people’s wish-lists; just 7% of women said they would most like to cook for their partners alongside just 3% of men.


Paula Morris, Marketing Manager, Sigma 3 commented, “It’s no surprise that Britons picked two dishes in Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie as the two people they would most like to cook for this Valentine’s Day. Their taste-buds definitely ruled when choosing the person they would most like to cook for them, but in Nigella Lawson I think the boys might have the best of both worlds!”
