Brooklyn Beckham's culinary aspirations have hit a devastating roadblock as publishing giant HarperCollins has officially terminated his cookbook deal, dealing a humiliating blow to the 24-year-old's fledgling food career.
The decision comes after his debut cookbook, What Mama Eats, failed to impress both critics and the public, with sales figures falling dramatically short of expectations. Industry insiders revealed that the publisher has quietly ended their partnership with the aspiring chef.
From High Hopes to Humiliation
Brooklyn, who married billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz in a lavish £3 million ceremony last year, had positioned himself as a serious food enthusiast. However, his transition from photography to cooking has been met with widespread scepticism and mockery.
His television appearance on Today with wife Nicola, where he struggled to answer basic cooking questions, went viral for all the wrong reasons. Viewers were particularly amused when he couldn't explain why he'd chosen specific ingredients for his recipes.
A Family Legacy Under Scrutiny
The failed cookbook venture represents more than just a business disappointment for Brooklyn. It marks another setback in his attempts to establish a professional identity separate from his famous parents, football legend David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham.
Friends close to the family have expressed concern about the young Beckham's ability to find his footing professionally. "He's tried photography, modelling, and now cooking - nothing seems to stick," revealed one insider.
The Public Reacts
Social media has been buzzing with reactions to the news, with many users questioning why Brooklyn received a publishing deal in the first place. Comments ranged from sympathetic to brutally honest about his qualifications as a culinary expert.
One Twitter user summed up the prevailing sentiment: "Maybe stick to what you know, Brooklyn. Not everyone needs to be a chef."
With this latest career setback, all eyes are on what direction Brooklyn Beckham will take next in his quest to carve out his own professional path away from the shadow of his iconic parents.
