He also went on to speak about why he loves cooking himself, confessing he likes how there’s ‘always something to learn’ in the kitchen.
‘One of the many things I like about chefs is they are so artistic, they are so hard working, and it’s always every day, every minute of every hour trying to master their craft,’ he said.
‘I love cooking because it’s one of the few things that I do that takes my mind off of anything that’s happening.
‘Being in the kitchen making food is endless, you can do anything. There’s always something to learn.’
The aspiring chef also revealed his favourite cuisines are Indian and pub-style food, before sharing an array of Michelin-rated restaurants he enjoys dining at.
Speaking about his top eateries across Los Angeles, Brooklyn told how he enjoys dining at the likes of Pijja Palace, Saffy’s, Hayato and Osteria Mozza.
The former photographer also reflected on working with American chef Nancy Silverton in his social media series, Cookin’ With Brooklyn.
He said of the experience: ‘Nancy Silverton is my favourite chef, I was lucky enough to film with her and she taught me how to do a blueberry tart, which was amazing.’

Dinner time: The wannabe chef seasoned the mammoth piece of meat before slathering potatoes in duck fat as a side dish
His latest comments come after Brooklyn has been slammed in the past for his ‘out of touch’ recipes.
And last week, Brooklyn – who is married to heiress Nicola Peltz – once again whipped up an enormous steak in a ‘sea urchin compound’.
The wannabe chef seasoned the mammoth piece of meat before slathering potatoes in duck fat as a side dish.
Brooklyn Beckham’s cooking faux pas’
1. Brooklyn was slated by fans for his ‘raw’ meat while whipping up a Sunday dinner.
2. His salad and plain spaghetti left much to be desired in a silent cooking tutorial
3. He hired a film crew for $100,000 to film him making a sandwich
4. He required assistance with frying a hash brown
5. During a cooking segment on The Today Show, viewers poked fun at his humble breakfast sandwich
He then created a sauce for his swanky meal made from the underwater creatures, known for their distinctive spikes.
Sea urchins are a great delicacy in Japanese cuisine, where they are known as ‘uni’ and often used in sushi.
Only a small part of the creature is eaten, the ‘gonads’ or sex organs, which run along the inside of the shell.
Brooklyn plated up his creation and delicately dripped the compound over the meat before tucking in.
He captioned the clip: ‘Bone in NY strip with sea urchin compound butter and duck fat roast potato’s [sic]’.
In January, the budding cook was slammed as ‘out of touch’ as he used pricey ingredient truffle to whip up a tagliatelle in his latest cookery tutorial.
He took to Instagram at the time to share his cookery tutorial video, which saw him make a creamy truffle tagliatelle.
In an accompanying 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.’
However, he was slammed by his fans as ‘out of touch’ as they blasted him for using luxury ingredient truffle during 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.’

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.’
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.
Earlier this month, Brooklyn also left fans in stitches as he filmed a cooking video with a huge hole in his tracksuit bottoms after coming under fire for his tutorials.
He took to Instagram to share a reel which showed step-by-step how to make a grilled cheese sandwich.
Unimpressed fans were quick to roast the star over his ‘boring’ and ‘unnecessary’ tutorial while others couldn’t help but notice his fashion faux pas in the video.
Taking to the comments section, they were quick to share their confusion over why he had filmed with a hole in his trousers.
One person wrote: ‘There seems to be something wrong with the pants,’ while another asked: ‘Is there like a hole in your pants, or am I tripping?’
A third said: ‘The hole is distracting me,’ and a fourth added: ‘Love the easy access hole on your sweatpants.’
In the tutorial, he cooked a toastie in a 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.’
