Mom to the rescue: Posh Spice defends son after he cooks up ‘heart attack on a plate’
Not my boy!
Victoria Beckham stepped up to defend her oldest son, Brooklyn, after the budding chef was trolled over his latest dish on an episode of “Cookin’ With Brooklyn.”
On Wednesday, the 23-year-old part-time Palm Beach resident received some online backlash after whipping up a traditional UK-style Sunday roast with chef Kevin Lee.
Keyboard warriors slammed the meal saying it didn’t look, well, good enough to eat.
For starters, before the dry aged rib roast went into the oven, the meat was literally slathered in butter, critics said. Once out and piping hot, the beet-red slab, marbled with fat, didn’t appear to be cooked all the way through.

As for the side of veggies, the carrots and “extra crispy” potatoes were also doused in large quantities of butter.
A good number of viewers on the tutorial were taken aback by the not so body-friendly ingredients; some even expressed concern that consuming that roast could be hazardous to your health.
Among the snide comments:
“How to cook butter.”
“Heart attack on a plate.”
“Might as well bite the cow while it’s grazing.”

At least a handful of kind people defended Beckham’s roast: “Don’t be a hater! Bring some love and warmth to this cold world! If you don’t like it, you can skip it.”
And mom, Posh Spice, who is known to tuck into a plate of salmon every day, reshared the video on her Stories, with text over screen: ‘Inspiration for Sunday’s roast,” and promised to serve it to his famous father, David Beckham, younger brothers Romeo and Cruz and sister Harper.
Brave enough to make it yourself? Lee includes the entire recipe on his Instagram page, if you dare. Warning: You’ll need 16 ounces of butter handy, so you may want to take that treadmill out of storage first.
