^LOL! Rachael was his 1st love. My sister used to watch her all the time and he was about 2 and would say, "Want Rachael Ray." when her show was scheduled to start.

I love Giada and Ina. Paula I watch from time to time, because some of the stuff she makes does look pretty delicious! I would never eat it though! Raised in an Asian family where we steam like half of our food...that sandwich would not go down well.

Oh, and I LOVE Good Eats. I like how there's a whole science behind his explanations (after all, cooking is just chemistry).

Have you guys heard of people who hate on Giada for her "risque" and "sexy" looks? A lot of people complain about how she's too unprofessional and should be more conservative on her show. I say - what the hell! She's not doing a studio show, she's filming in a home and her show is a lifestyle show as well, and a lot of the time she's cooking for her friends for events and parties.

And a little cleavage never hurt anybody.

I've heard that about Giada. People will bitch about anything. Just don't watch. My sister used to crack me up about The Barefoot Contessa, too...."Ida's gonna eat the whole damn thing before Jeffery even gets there!"

You know, I've wondered about her too. She seems really nice and all, but my sister swears she's an alcoholic.

I think she's beautiful and she always looks great. I've never heard that about her, but I have read an interview where she's said she's fully aware of how well endowed her chest is and it's just too hard to hide it. I think she's got great style and those people are just jealous that she's beautiful, talented and successful.

I love Paula Deen and like the way she talks. I think Giada does show too much cleavage for a cooking show. I love Rachael Ray. I love to hear her stories. Ida can be a bit boring but I love the way she cooks. Bobby Flay sometimes seems to be a little uppity. I love Sandra Lee's style.

I *love* Paula Deen!!! Her food is quite over the top, but she herself is just a sweetheart. What you see is what you get.

Alton Brown can have my babies any day of the week.

I love Giada's style and the way they film and edit her segments; just so elegant and relaxing.

Rachel Ray throws together really crazy things and can be really freakin' annoying..but you know what? My mom has her 365 recipe book and be damned! Those crazy things taste *GOOD*!! Nothing can help the annoying, sadly...

I do like Ina's food; but I *hate* her laugh. Whenever I catch her show, I have to anticipate her laughing so I can change the channel...yes, it bugs me that much.

I cannot *stand* Sandra Lee. She reminds me of every snooty soccer mom on her cell phone and driving her huge SUV that I've ever met. Her speech, they way she presents things, her 'table scapes', UGH!!

ETA: I forgot all about Jamie Oliver!! I love him!!! And Bobby Flay is just an arrogant bastard.

I love watching the Food Network … I find it so calming to watch cooking shows.

I love Giada, Ina and Nigella. Rachel is a bit annoying and Paula Deen seems like a sweet lady but her food does make me feel a little sick!

I also like watching Chef at Home, Fresh w/ Anna Olsen, French Food at Home and Ricardo & Friends … I think these might be Canada only shows tho.

I also love Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. He’s the Simon Cowell of the culinary world!!

Oh and the FN Challenge esp when they’re making those huge cakes!!

LOL! I used to wonder that too, until I did a little digging on the internet out of boredom. Apparently, so says the internet, that during an interview with Ina, she was asked about her wardrobe. Her answer was that she loves blue and wears it all the time. In response to the question on where she shops for those blouses/tops, her answer was that she doesn't buy them in any stores, they are made for her.

Must be nice.

I like realistic food shows, the fluffy type ones are too annoying.

I forgot about Nigella!! She seems really great too!! I like watching her cook and you can tell she loves food. I just want to sit down and have a cup of tea with her.
I do like that Robin Miller chick too. She seems to have some pretty cool ideas. My dad loves watching Emeril but he bugs me too sometimes. My grandmother says he's too damn loud, so she watches him cook but she mutes the tv so she doesn't have to hear the "BAM!" all the time.
I also think the other Italian cook, Michael Chiarello is really hot for some reason.....

Don't forget EVOO!

I would have to say that if I could have one of the Food Network chefs cook for me, I would pick Giada. I do think Paula is pretty funny sometimes and I thought it was cute the time I saw her paired up with Giada. Oh, and that new guy Guy Fieri who does the Drivers, Dives, etc and has his own show is kinda annoying too but his food looks good...
