She is one of the few whose recipes I trust. I like her show too.

I like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives ! (aka Triple D)

I used to enjoy Graham something or other from Australia. [maybe Kerr?] When he drank he was pretty funny.

I liked Beard too and The Frugal Gourmet a long time ago [80's]. I like cooking shows that teach you how to cook. Too bad the smells didn't float through the tv too.

Triple D, (Dinner Drive-in and Dives). Guy Fieri, has such a large personality.

At Home with Giada DeLaurentis.

The Barefoot Contessa.

It's a toss between Ann Burrell and Giada......One talks to her food (very entertaining) and Giada is so tiny but REALLY enjoys every morsel she samples.

We watch Food Network, Cooking Channel and PBS cooking shows. Enjoy Pioneer Woman, Barefoot Contessa, Triple D, and Lydia. When we aren't working or watching Food TV, we stalk all of you. Thanks for all the great info you've provided over the months.

Definitely Top Chef is my favorite especially the new season which is in Boston.

Giada,..have been TiVoing episodes for the last several months in preparation for our move to our forever home. Since we are Italian her recipes look yummy and what I remember my grandma cooking.

I have several:

Tyler's Ultimate with Tyler Florence. Easy to follow recipes and you can find them on the internet.

Good Eats with Alton Brown - informational and entertaining - great hints

Bobby Flay - several shows - I always liked the Grillin and Chillin show.

Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello

Down Home with the Neelys - Patrick and Gina Neely - good recipes - unfortunately I read that they are getting divorced.

I also liked Paula Deen. She gave me some great hints.

Barefoot Contessa has great hints also.

How cool is that. I like her son too. She is the cook I want to be. That she seems to be everyone's aunt just credit's PBS's good judegement.

I like Chopped for entertainment, NOT to learn anything about cooking.It's fun to imagine what would I do if I were given anchovies, strawberry jam and scallions to make an hors deuvre. I dunno.

We watch the chew. Have made some great dishes from each host

We used to love Julia Childs on PBS and watched Rachel Ray prior to her having a talk show...but Julia was the best...especially when she wanted to add a little wine to the dish she was preparing. While here in TV, we stumbled across a show called 'Cook Your Ass Off' and watched it only because of the outrageous title. It usually has three different chefs trying to cook something special for it's panel.
