Meet the chef who’s debunking detox, diets and wellness

Anthony Warner - alias blogger turned author the Angry Chef - is on a mission to confront the 'alternative facts' surrounding nutritional fads and myths

A few minutes into my encounter with the Angry Chef, I begin to wonder if his moniker might be ironic, like the big guy whose friends call him "Tiny". On the basis of his excoriating blog - which exposes "lies, pretensions and stupidity in the world of food" - I had been expecting a bilious, splenetic man with wild eyes, his skin covered in tattoos. Instead, I'm sat across from a mild-mannered nerdy type with a tidy beard and black-framed spectacles. Unlike his writing, which is showered with profanities, he hasn't sworn once. In fact, he picks his words very deliberately, as if there's a legal and fact-checking team working overtime in his brain.

"I expected you to be a bit more " furious," I finally say. "Do you have a temper?"
