I find Nigella annoying for some reason. Also, she cooks in metric. I can't be bothered with the conversions.

zippyt · 04-01-2007, 10:49 PM

Ahh but I have Metric/lb scales ,
and she cooks well , looks good , and has a Brit accent !!!

the food porn thing with Nigella bothers me though--all that gustatory delight, mouthing of food while casting sultry looks and heaving the bosom.

zippyt · 04-02-2007, 12:50 AM

And the problem IS ?????

elSicomoro · 04-02-2007, 08:56 AM

Bobby Flay just pisses me off...I'm not sure why. Maybe it's that stupid new show he does..."Throwdown." Yeah...throw my nuts! I don't like Rachael Ray either...that "$40 a Day" show is crap.

Lidia is kinda scary, but I enjoy watching her show. I also like The Naked Chef, Paula Deen, Alton Brown and Mario Batali.

simian · 04-02-2007, 10:36 AM

Yeah, Bobby Flay is an irritating pompus jerk!
Julia Child was fun.
Mario Batali is authentic.
Most of the others are just ordinary and bore me.

My favorite Iron Chef is Chen Kenichi.

Masaharu Morimoto comes off like a Japanese Bobby Flay.

He's the only iron chef that has actually served me sushi, at a table with a huge glowing dildo on it, so he obviously earned earned huge points there... I don't know who Bobby Flay is....

I like Chen too. I don't mind Morimoto...he could use some English lessons though.

I feel bad for the Italian Iron Chef...I don't think I've ever seen him picked. Surely somebody picked him!

I like the French Iron Chef with the big old-lady glasses. He's awesome.

I should have included this earlier - - Cooking is fine, but a show on EATING is better! The Travel Channel has Andrew Zimmern and his show Bizarre Foods. That bit of TV shows me more about food than any of the cooking shows. Takes me back to some of the great and just plain weird stuff I have eaten in other countries.

If this counts, then I'm also including a vote for Anthony Bourdain. Man can write and it makes for a very interesting show.

bluecuracao · 04-04-2007, 08:43 PM

Anthony Bourdain's show is one of the best things on TV, and I loved his first book, Kitchen Confidential. He's cooked a couple of times on the show, and the rest is almost all eating and drinking. I have two of his other books--one's a cookbook, I think--but I haven't really looked at them yet.
