Jay Rayner
The Seventh Commandment
Jay Rayner – Journalist, Writer, Broadcaster and Musician
Analysis: His portrait is based on The Seventh Commandment from his 10 (Christmas Food) Commandments.
“Thou shalt eat trifle for breakfast on Boxing Day. It’s Christmas. The usual rules do not apply.”
It’s eight a.m on 26th December and he is seated in front of his Christmas trifle.
The Kitchen Cabinet is the food panel show he presents for Radio 4 and here we can see a packet of Bisto, as I believe he has a penchant for gravy and the Masterchef Award representing his countless appearances on the television program. Jay's Out to Lunch podcast (a Somethin' Else production) has a selection of branded merchandise and a couple of his travel cupsare are sitting on the shelf. The clouds and poster are representing his podcast over the air.
A few of his books are propped up behind him and the piano reflects his love of music and The Jay Rayner Quartet.
Great food, good books, glorious music and a quirky sense of humour - what more could you want !
