Chef Ash Pollard Slams Rachael Finchs Meal Choice

Wellness influencer and model Rachael Finch has been slammed by celebrity cook Ash Pollard, after she .

The former Miss Universe Australia runner-up, 37, uploaded a clip to Instagram on Monday showing her stirring a 'bland' looking pan of chicken and vegetables.

She touted the healthy meal as a quick and easy dinner, but it would appear Ash, a former My Kitchen Rules contestant, had nothing nice to say about the dish. 

Rachael said she seasoned a pan of vegetables, chicken and pasta with garlic and dried Italian herbs before cooking them with onion and chicken broth. 

Hours later, she shared a screenshot of a DM she received from Ash in response to the cooking video, which read: 'Absolutely no. That pan needs to go in the bin too.' 

Rachael appeared to take the message in good stride, responding to Ash: 'It's going in the trash now.'

She then shared another screenshot from an anonymous follower who also took a swipe at Rachael's cooking skills. 

'I'm so glad Ash spoke up about this meal,' they said. 

'It looks so unappetising: bland, veggies that are overcooked and the liquid in the base is never going to coat the pasta as it should. 

'This is not going to "influence" anyone! You really don't need to post dinner photos unless they have been made by someone who can cook better than this!'

This appeared to hit a nerve for Rachael, as she also shared the DM to her grid and captioned it: 'Is this my sign to get a personal chef? Please let it be.

'Some things this person doesn't know: I didn't have the best day that day, and while I wanted to simply order something I still made the effort to cook for my family.

'I don't like wasting food. This was what was in my fridge. Violet licked the bowl. I am not a chef. I am not here to "influence" anyone. I'll prob make it again next week.'

It seemed Ash's earlier criticism of Rachael's cooking had not been made maliciously, as the cook then commented some encouraging words under the model's post.
