Cliff Richard's Unorthodox Christmas Gravy Recipe Faces Culinary Backlash

The 84-year-old singer's unusual gravy, featuring eight stock cubes and teriyaki sauce, has drawn sharp criticism from professional chefs.

Cliff Richard's Christmas gravy recipe includes four different flavors of stock cubes—lamb, chicken, beef, and vegetable—mixed with teriyaki, soy, and Worcestershire sauces.
The recipe, which bypasses traditional gravy methods involving meat drippings, has been deemed overly salty and lacking a thickening agent by culinary experts.
Prominent chefs, including Michelin-starred professionals, have criticized the concoction as 'vile' and questioned the use of teriyaki sauce in a gravy.
Richard has defended his creation, calling it 'probably the greatest gravy in the world' and joking about a potential supermarket deal for the recipe.
Despite the backlash, some chefs acknowledge stock cubes as a practical cooking shortcut, though many suggest traditional methods for better results.
