http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25631573-421,00.htmlFOUL-MOUTHED celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was on best behaviour at a cooking class yesterday, even keeping expletives to a minimum, The Sunday Telegraph reports.
A week after launching a crude tirade against A Current Affair host Tracy Grimshaw at a food and wine show in Melbourne, a humble, charming Ramsay showed his face at a cooking class at Queensland's Sanctuary Cove Resort.
"He was on his best behaviour and had the crowd eating out of his hands," an observer said.
"He didn't mention the Grimshaw thing and didn't even swear ... I think he said 'Christ' once - that was it."
Ramsay's newly demure demeanour seemed to contradict his vow the day before that he would not tone down his act.
"I can't edit myself. I am what I am," he said then.
The lunch, which included a master cooking class, cost attendees between $300 and $750 each.
Ramsay will return to Sydney for the New South Wales leg of the Good Food&Wine Show next month. In the meantime, he will take a three-week holiday with his wife and family in Queensland.
During a performance at the Melbourne show last week, Ramsay delivered a sexist rant about Grimshaw, allegedly likening her to a pig and calling her a lesbian.
A publicist yesterday denied the remarks had caused sponsors to pull out of the Good Food&Wine Show.
"No one's pulled out, and ticket sales for the Sydney shows remain strong," he said.
But an exclusive, $1000- a-head Perth dinner Ramsay was to have hosted has been cancelled because of poor ticket sales.
Grimshaw last Monday branded Ramsay a bully and an "arrogant narcissist".
