Cooking shows

I am the queen of cooking shows! Cooking is my passion--I really regret not going to culinary school.
Anyway, I am currently into TopChef (a reality show). But on the food network I love Good Eats hosted by Alton Brown b/c he teaches you the science of foods as well as how to cook. I also watch 30 minute meals with Rachel Ray, Emeril (I used to come home after school and watch him on "How to Boil Water"--when the food network first started), Iron Chef America.

I pretty much stop on any of them. I loved Hell's Kitchen that was a reality game show, it aired last year.

BAM!



(do you know what i'm talking about? I don't watch it that often but darn it is funny!!)
I do like almost any cooking show on the food network.
Especial Racheal Ray's show

my boyfriend JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] loves to watch Alton Brown. In fact, thats the only cookbook he says to buy him (as I asked since I recently misplaced his vegitarian cookbook), either that or On Baking of course.

He wanted to be a culinary arts student (he's a baking and pastry student) but didnt sign up for classes in time! Funny, since I was (I graduated last summer) a culinary student (same school!)

I am not really that into cooking shows, but...

I really like Good Eats and How to Boil Water. I like shows where they really teach the basics.

You don't know how to boil water?!

I do now, because I've watched the show

I used to adore Emeril!

My husband loves Alton Brown (I am slowly buying him all the past shows on dvd), and we both enjoy Rachael Ray. I also love watching Paula Deene, and sometimes Giada DiLaurentis for some of her Italian dishes, and Barefoot Contessa has been the source for the best shrimp salad I've ever had, which I look forward to enjoying this summer

I would love for us to travel and do competitive cooking someday...the whole chuckwagon thing would be right up my alley!

Another enthusiastic vote for Good Eats!

He has a website that's interesting too.

I adore Rachel Ray - I love her magazine - Everyday with Rachel Ray

I love her shows on The Food Channel - especially 30 Minute Meals!

That is a GREAT magazine! I also like her 30 minute meal show and I used to watch Good Eats everyday too, but lately I've been too busy but I like it because he teaches you other stuff than just how to cook, like what are the best cuts of beef etc

I guess we're watching the same shows on Saturdays. I love Rachel Ray, Paula Deane (the butter queen), and Gidia DiLaurentis a lot too. Sandra Lee is kinda fun too. Her "tablescapes" crack me up.
The food network is my favorite.

I love Good Eats and Iron Chef, although some of the panel's comments can be a bit goofy (hopefully only translation issues). "I think the carrots are happy, and the potatoes are expressing themselves through flatulent interpretive dance!" lol

I love cooking shows, but DH doesn't so I rarely get to watch them. (Maybe if they came up with one on ESPN )

I'm really excited, though...I just booked a dinner for the group I work with at this really cool cooking school/restaurant in Williamsburg, VA. They demonstrate how to cook a 5-course meal and serve it to you as they go along. You get recipes and everything to take with you. It sounds like so much fun!
