Anthony Bourdain's book "Kitchen Confidential" may have been the start of my wife learning to think outside the JW box. (I'm still hoping on that score.)
That book is full of foul-mouthed and "immoral" stories. ( I loved it. ) My loyal-dub wife read it anyway. Tee hee.
ALL HAIL ANTHONY BOURDAIN!!!
Open Mind
Ok, I'll duck as I say this.......Martha Stwart......ouch! I felt that brick.
I know, everybody hates her but really she is a talented teacher because she is articulate and exacting. Takes the time to do things correctly.
Yes Yes Yes Anthony Bourdain is fabulous----he is on the Travel channel not Food network. My son learned to love cooking from Jamie Oliver.
I made an awesome chicken with goat cheese and mushroom from the Next Food Network Star. It was a Hit and added to my families favorites. I make 1-2 new recieps each week. Cooking shows are my inspiration.
Anyone out there that hates to cook, yet love cooking shows?
Seeker4..Iron Chef..Love that show!..Bobby Flay one or my favorites..How about those guys who cook with beer?..LOL!!..Got one of my best dish`s on Iron Chef(Japanese Version)..I love going to a good Restaraunt and being suprised..It dosen`t happen that often..It`s great when it does.....I eat mostly at home,because I live in the Frigg`in Wilderness!..LOL!!..I like to check out good Restaraunts when I`m in Civilization....My Chef teachers were Awesome..My teachers teacher is regularly featured in cooking articles...OUTLAW
Alton Brown, Paula Dean, and Emril
Alton Brown has the best advice for how to do things.
Paula Dean has good recipies.
Emril is just fun to watch.
I enjoy Bourdain as a writer also. Loved Kitchen Confidential.
Emeril - POW!
Bourdain is merciless in taking swipes at Emeril, but he loves Bobby Flay.

Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray - bring them on. It's just that they are soooo easy to parody.
And I think I spelled Emril wrong.
I guess there are a hell of a lot of cooking/food shows around the world, eh??
Food is such an important part of every culture. I'm doing a series of three articles formy paper on spending a week eating as a localvore - just using foods from within a 100 mile radius of my home. Sounds easier than it is, though this is the ideal time of year to do that here. I'm eating like a king! Fresh salads, local duck eggs, venison steaks, local potatoes, milk, cream, cheese and butter.
I'm a pretty simple cook - I'm kind of in the four ingredients per dish category.
For supper tonight I sliced locally made bread from locally grown wholegrain, sliced it thick, put on butter, slices of tomato from my own garden, covered that with sharp cheddar cheese made at the farm down the road, then slid them under the broiler til the bread browned and the cheese and butter melted. Ate it with a glass of local whole milk. Quick, easy and awesome!

What about Ming? And Yan? And if Ching (another monosyllable) has her show shown in the USA, I bet she's lusted after more than Giada or Rachael Ray.
As for Kylie Kwong, the less said, the better!
Does Neil Perry ever get shown in the US? (He was featured on an episode of A Cook's Tour)
I think we need to KICK THIS THREAD UP A COUPLE OF NOTCHES

Sounds perfect....You know how to cook!!!!

I find Bourdain interesting, but one show of his stands out in memory. In A Cook's Tour, he did an episode about the culinary delights of Melbourne (Victoria), and featured a bunch of chefs. Trouble was, they were people like Neil Perry, Armando Percuoco and Tetsuya - all Sydney chefs! To put that in perspective, if he went to Dallas to cover the food scene there, and he featured Charlie Trotter and a bunch of other Chicago chefs, you'd smell a rat, wouldn't you?

Erm, isn't that otherwise known as "cheese on toast"?
