Gordon Ramsay names his 2 secret ingredients for perfect scrambled eggs
If you're struggling to perfect the art of getting smooth, silky, and fluffy scrambled eggs, the experts at Delish have declared which celebrity chef's recipe is the best Scrambled eggs remain a breakfast favourite across countless homes, with everyone putting their own spin on the classic dish. However, if you're battling to master the technique for achieving creamy, velvety, and airy eggs, culinary experts at Delish have revealed which celebrity chef's method reigns supreme, reports the Express. In a recent TikTok clip, Delish put three scrambled egg recipes from renowned chefs Gordon Ramsay, Ina Garten, and Bobby Flay head-to-head to determine a winner. Each approach features distinct ingredients and methods, incorporating varying pan temperatures, additions like crème fraîche and butter, plus different cooking utensils. Following their taste test, Delish crowned Gordon Ramsay's technique as champion for creating perfectly soft scrambled eggs. Gordon's method involves cracking chilled eggs directly into a heated deep-sided saucepan, then incorporating cold butter whilst stirring continuously. The pan must be removed from the heat periodically while maintaining constant stirring. The finished eggs should appear "custardy and smooth". To complete the dish, fold in a spoonful of crème fraîche and season with salt. By contrast, Ina Garten's approach requires melting butter gently in a frying pan until it begins to foam. Separately, beat the eggs with an equal mixture of milk and cream, plus seasoning, until the mixture becomes "homogenous". When the butter has nearly melted completely, add the beaten eggs and cook on a gentle heat for three to five minutes. Take off the heat before they're completely set, then stir in truffle butter. Bobby Flay's method starts by beating the eggs with some seasoning. Place butter and crème fraîche into a cold non-stick pan, then pour the beaten eggs on top. Switch on the heat and stir the eggs continuously until they become "silky and custardy", ensuring they remain slightly underdone. Season the eggs with salt, then remove from the heat. Regarding Gordon's eggs, Delish commented: "It's much looser than I usually eat my scrambled eggs... Okay shut up, they are silky. You get that slight tang at the end from the creme fraiche. "I know that Gordon Ramsay knows what he's doing, but these are incredible." Delish described Ina's as "pure egg" and noted it lacked the "tang" found in Gordon's version. Although Bobby's recipe also incorporated crème fraîche, Delish remarked that its presence was barely detectable. When determining the champion, Delish declared: "My favourite out of the three was Gordon's. I loved that tang of the creme fraiche, and I also loved that the texture was more silky smooth all the way through. They're stupid good." Gordon Ramsay's Scrambled Eggs Ingredients 6 cold eggs 15g butter Salt and pepper Crème fraîche Chives Method Crack 6 cold eggs into a deep saucepan. Add the butter. For smaller batches, use a two-to-one eggs-to-butter ratio. Put the pan on high heat. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula—don't whisk—making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. After 30 seconds, take the pan off the heat. Keep stirring. After about ten seconds, put back on the heat. Repeat for three minutes. In the last minute, season the eggs lightly. For extra creamy texture, stir in one teaspoon of crème fraîche. Plate and garnish with chopped chives.

Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 soundtrack in full
*Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3* The Summer I Turned Pretty has kicked off its third and final season, with main character Belly Conklin still at the heart of a brutal love triangle. Adapted from showrunner Jenny Han's beloved YA novels, the latest series follows Belly (played by Lola Tung) as she navigates life as a university student. Alongside school work, she is also juggling a long-term relationship with Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). But when Belly's ex-boyfriend and Jeremiah's older brother, Conrad (played by Christopher Briney), returns into their lives, she is forced to face her unresolved feelings for the older Fisher brother. The Summer I Turned Pretty's third series has already featured huge pop songs (Image: Amazon Content Services LLC) While the series packs plenty of its drama on its own, Prime Video viewers have also grown to appreciate the show's impressive soundtrack. It has also become tradition for the series to drop Easter Eggs through needle drops, especially when it comes to Taylor Swift songs. Below, we've detailed The Summer I Turned Pretty's season three soundtrack so far, and explained what *that* Taylor Swift song could mean for the characters. Dreams by the Cranberries Open Arms by SZA Can't Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers FRI(END)S by V Get Loud by Coi Leray HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan Summer Love by Justin Timberlake reason to live by mehro NANi by Saweetie Lovin on Me by Jack Harlow Dilemma by Kelly Rowland and Nelly Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan i like the way you kiss me by Artemas You're Losing Me (From the Vault) by Taylor Swift Episode 1's Taylor Swift song spells trouble for Team Jeremiah (Image: Prime Video ) The series premiere ended on a sour note as Belly discovered that Jeremiah had cheated on her while on Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. As Belly ran away from Jeremiah, who was desperately trying to explain himself, Swift's You're Losing Me began playing. The song's lyrics detail a long-term relationship that is on the brink of collapse, despite the singer's efforts to keep it alive. If this song signifies Belly's state of mind, it appears she has been fighting to keep her relationship with Jeremiah strong, but his betrayal may be the final straw. What's more, lyrics in the song's bridge could be hinting at Jeremiah and Belly calling off their engagement, which takes place in the second episode. Swift sings: "And I wouldn't marry me either. A pathological people pleaser." You're Losing Me is the only Swift song featured in the season so far, which could mean Team Jeremiah are in for an unsatisfying ending. lacy by Olivia Rodrigo i wish i hated you by Ariana Grande Rockin Around the Christmas Tree' by Brenda Lee Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens Forever and a Day by Benson Boone Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish Littlest Things by Lily Allen Everything Happens to Me by Bill Evans Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter 10,000 Emerald Pools by BØRNS No Surprises by Radiohead The Summer I Turned Pretty streams every Wednesday on Prime Video

Moncler raises prices on tariffs, may postpone store openings if downturn worsens
Italian luxury house Moncler said it's currently relying on "very slight price increases" to offset the initial impact of U.S. tariffs, but warned that broader economic weakness could cause it to delay its new store openings next year. The Milan-headquartered retailer said Wednesday that it had raised prices by "mid-single-digit" percentages for the second half of 2025 and will raise them for the first half of next year, while adding that it was awaiting further clarity on U.S. levies before setting out its full strategy for 2026. "We normally finalize our pricing strategy for the full Winter 2026 by October, more or less. So it's still early," Luciano Santel, group chief corporate and supply officer, said during an earnings call accompanying its second-quarter results. Shares of Moncler were down 4% by 2 p.m. London time (9 a.m. E.T.). Chief Business Strategy and Global Market Officer Roberto Eggs said he intended for those further price rises to be "more conservative," as the firm seeks to reconcile higher input costs with customer retention, but noted that it was also dependent on macro trends and currency movements. "Clearly, the pricing today for consumers is a concern. I think we need to pay even more attention on this," he said. Eggs also noted that the business would remain flexible on its plans for a dozen or so new store openings etched for 2026, based on the macro outlook and wider recovery of the beleaguered luxury sector. "For the plan 2025, it's already there. Regarding 2026, the plan is not completely finalized, so we have some flexibility, ... in case things will not get better, to postpone some of the openings," he said, adding that those plans would also be set by October. Moncler on Wednesday posted a dip in second-quarter sales after the market close, as weak tourist flows weighed on otherwise robust domestic demand in the key U.S. and China markets. Group revenues fell 1% year-on-year at constant exchange rates to 396.6 million euros ($536.7 million) in the three months to June 30, below the 427.2 million forecast by analysts in an LSEG poll. The U.S., which accounts for 14% of Moncler brand sales, recorded a 5% sales uptick in the quarter, but the company said it was unclear whether that was driven by shoppers accelerating purchases ahead of the ramping up of tariffs. "To tell you that if this was driven by an anticipation of buying links to the tariffs? Honestly, I cannot tell you," Eggs said, noting other initiatives, such as a partnership with luxury department store Nordstom, which helped boost demand. Sales in Asia, the group's largest market, were flat on the quarter, while in Europe, the Middle East and Africa they declined 8%. The company attributed it to a rebalancing of the Japanese yen, with Japan the only Asian country to record negative sales growth, as well as soft tourist spending in Europe.

Gordon Ramsay shares how to make perfect poached eggs in minutes
Gordon Ramsay is known for his culinary skills and now the television chef has shared his simple yet effective method for poaching eggs to perfection every time Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, famed for his culinary prowess and innovative gastronomy, has turned his hand to guiding amateur chefs in the art of simple yet classic dishes. Breakfast enthusiasts rejoice as Gordon demonstrates how to nail the perfect poached egg without any fancy techniques. It's a quick process that can transform your morning meal, and in a recent Masterclass TikTok video, Gordon divulged his secrets to achieving flawless poached eggs every time. To start, ensure you have a gentle boil in your pan, then season the water with a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar. Gordon said: "The vinegar helps to strengthen the egg white and enrobes that white around the yolk." Create a whirlpool in the pan using a whisk or spoon to get the water moving. Then, gently introduce the egg into the water from a small bowl or ramekin. This method allows the egg to enter the water softly, promoting even cooking. The swirling water will help the white to cocoon the yolk neatly, reports the Express. Gordon likens the ideal poached egg to a "ball of mozzarella", suggesting it should be left to poach on a steady simmer. After a few minutes, reduce the heat. To finish, rest the egg on kitchen paper to drain off any extra water before serving. Although many people generally praise Gordon's tips, some argued their own thoughts in the comments. One person said: "Doesn't need vinegar." While another said: "No need to stir the water." A third added: "Never used salt, or vinegar, the secret to a great poached egg is to use the freshest eggs you can, a gentle rolling boil, perfection every time. I have 4 Michelin tyres." Gordon Ramsay's Poached Eggs on Brioche Toast Recipe Ingredients One cup diced thick-cut, smoked bacon Four cups roughly chopped wild mushrooms (chanterelles, oyster, hen of the woods, trumpet, depending on what is available) Two tbsp butter Four thick slices brioche, toasted Two tbsp white wine vinegar Four eggs Method First, bring a pot of cold water to a gentle boil. In a large pan, cook the bacon until golden brown, which should take about three minutes. Then add the mushrooms to the bacon and mix them together so they are coated in the bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the mixture starts to release its moisture, which should take about five minutes. Then add butter to the pan and let it melt, stirring the mushroom mixture as the butter turns golden brown, which should take a minute or two. Transfer the mixture to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain any excess fat. Take slices of toasted brioche and press them into the leftover grease in the pan. Arrange the slices on plates, then top each one with an equal amount of the mushroom and bacon mixture. Add salt and white wine vinegar to the boiling water, then whisk it until it starts to swirl. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Carefully place the bowl near the surface of the water and gently drop the egg into the pot. Depending on the size of your pot, you might have to cook the eggs in batches. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook the eggs for two minutes, then check them. If they feel firm, remove them from the water using a slotted spoon; if they wobble, put them back in the water for an additional ten seconds. Transfer the eggs to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain any excess moisture. Turn the eggs presentation side up, season with salt and pepper, drizzle some extra juices from the mushroom pan over them and place them on top of each piece of toast.
