Brooklyn Beckham treated his fans to a new cooking tutorial but it might not be time to give up the day job, as he stuck to boiling a pot of plain spaghetti after whipping up a salad.
The aspiring chef, 23, who has tried his hand at a multitude of professions before swiftly moving on – took to Instagram and filmed himself making the pot of pasta.
In his tutorial video which has no sound, the former photographer, who is the son of David and Victoria Beckham, fried tuna steak with black and white sesame seeds and a lemon and egg glaze.

It comes after Brooklyn’s fans were left bemused on Sunday after the self-confessed ‘kitchen nutter’ filmed himself making easy cocktails.
The star was teaching Bustle viewers how to make a Lychee Martini and a gin and tonic.

He then claimed he’s ‘very experimental’ when making drinks but proceeded to make a gin and tonic with the two most obvious ingredients.
In the video, Brooklyn could be heard saying: ‘I’m very experimental, I love trying to make new drinks, trying new recipes, you know I’m a nutter in the kitchen.
He added: ‘I used to love going to the pub with my friends but obviously now I’m married and have my best friend with me all the time our favourite nights are staying in when I cook and make drinks.
Fans were left baffled at the bizarre video and claimed Brooklyn or his management were ‘trolling’ them.
One wrote: ‘I still can’t work out if Brooklyn is trolling us or the people who manage Brooklyn are trolling him’
Another fan said: ‘It’s a gin and tonic mate. Any 8 year old with luvvies for parents can make one’
A third penned: ‘Come on be fair he did squeeze some mint to get the smell out’

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 ensuring his fans know he in no way regards himself a professional, Brooklyn 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 soccer star David Beckham] knew what he was doing at a very young age. I’ve only been doing cooking for not even three years.’
Questionable: He previously showed his followers how to make a bagel sandwich with a hash brown, coleslaw and fried sea bream – but did not cook the ingredients himself
Brooklyn stressed: ‘It’s okay to be 25, 26, or even 30 and not know what you’re doing yet. You know what I mean?’
The 23-year-old aspiring chef recently starred in his own online Cookin’ With Brooklyn series, which saw him enlist a 62-person crew at the eye-watering cost of $100,000 to film him making a sandwich.
In one of the eight-minute episodes, Brooklyn, who has no professional training as a chef, shows his Instagram and Facebook followers how to make a bagel sandwich with a hash brown, coleslaw and fried sea bream.
According to the New York Post , the video had a team of professionals on hand including a ‘culinary producer’ who approves the recipes, five camera operations and nine producers.
Brooklyn has come under fire for his frequently-ridiculed cooking skills. Most recently an appearance on the Late Late Show was slammed by several professional chefs who called attention to Brooklyn’s lack of training and expertise.
In the sandwich video, Brooklyn did not actually cook any of the sandwich but simply spread mayonnaise on the bagel and layed the ingredients on top.
He didn’t know how to fry fish and was also heard asking how to know when a hash brown is finished frying.
In the video, he said: ‘I eat half the fish and then I like, mess it all up and put it in two loaves of bread with the fish, vinegar, salt, mushy peas.’
Speaking to the camera, he added: ‘Coleslaw gives sandwiches a different texture, like a crunchy texture.’
Just a couple of weeks later Brooklyn whipped up a humble fish and chip sandwich.
Looks good! The aspiring chef, 23, took to Instagram on Tuesday to show how he created his latest basic meal
While he previously required assistance to fry a hash brown, the son of David and Victoria Beckham proved that he’d picked up more potato know-how as he began cutting up some potatoes and frying them in oil to make fresh hot chips.
He then salted up the fries, before making his own batter for two small fresh fish fillets, which he fired in a fry pan.
The former budding photographer and model them cut up some herbs and pickles for a homemade tartar sauce.
Brooklyn then gentled placed the crumbling fish fillets onto fresh bread, layered on the chips and finished with the sauce, before cutting the sandwich in half.

Brooklyn was also panned for another televised cooking stunt – in which he faced brutal mockery for making a simple breakfast sandwich during a food segment on The Today Show.
The budding photographer appeared on the US programme, when he shared his ‘recipe’ for an English breakfast sandwich, a dish that he ‘learned from his great-grandma’.
Explaining that he developed a passion for cooking while in lockdown, during which he began posting videos of himself whipping up different dishes on Instagram he then ran hosts Hoda Kotb and Carson Daly through his sandwich-making process.

Think you can cook it like Beckham? Brooklyn reveals the VERY simple ‘recipe’ for his ‘special’ English breakfast sandwich
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 rashers of English bacon
4 country sausages
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 slices soft white bread
Ketchup to serve
Preparation
1. Add the olive oil to a cast-iron skillet set over medium heat, place the bacon in the pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until crispy on both sides. Remove bacon and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.
2. Then add sausages into the same pan, searing evenly on all sides. After about 2 to 3 minutes, slice them in half while keeping the two sides attached and cook the inside until crispy. Remove from pan and place onto plate with the bacon.
3. Add 2 eggs into the same skillet and season with salt and pepper. These should cook quickly with the existing oil in the pan.
4. Assemble all ingredients on top of the bread to make two sandwiches, drizzle with ketchup, cut in half and serve.

But while the hosts were quick to praise his simple creation, viewers were up in arms over the decision to feature such an easy-to-assemble dish, with many branding the clip ‘embarrassing’ and ‘painful’.
In September the son of David and Victoria Beckham posted a clip of himself whipping up a fresh pizza – but left some viewers unimpressed with his ingredients.
Brooklyn’s wife Nicola gave his pizza a thumbs up as she commented with a series of love heart emojis but other viewers were not as impressed.
One fan told Brooklyn: ‘Don’t quit your day job,’ while another said: ‘Is your base sauce seriously tinned tomatoes and raw garlic?!’
Another added: ‘Just a cook, not a chef. Plus, way too much crust on that dough with canned tomatoes on it’.
