As I've been surfing my favorite foodie blogs, I keep seeing the same names again and again: Tyler Florence, Ina - the Barefoot Contessa and a few others. I feel a little bit behind in the who's who in cooking. I haven't had cable for about 6 years now so I don't get to see the Food Network and TLC like I used to.
The first chef that I ever watched with rapid adoration was Emeril *bam!*. I loved his show and learned a lot about flavoring from him (no such thing as too much garlic - I agree) - of course a lot of his tips were not great for the arteries :o)
I know my favorite cookbook authors Janet and Greta Podleski have their own show now, which I would love to see - but they amuse me just with their cookbooks.
So in my online travels who would you reccommend I check out? Why them? Is it style? Is it their food? What appeals to you about them?
I like Sandra Lee semihome made quick and easy fixes, or Paula Dean she is quite the southern belle. Lots to pick from.Good luck looking.
ReplyDeleteI Love Giada's recipes for desserts, they are usually pretty simple, but also very beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat, no cable, & I really miss the FN :(
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I love Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, Rick Bayless, Lydia Bastianich, America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country, hmmmm, I'm pretty easy, though. I pretty much like watching anybody cook or talk about food!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have cable either, but when we did, I was a big Paula Dean fan, Emeril, Giada.
ReplyDeleteI don't have cable and am glad of it. I would much rather snuggle into a comfy couch or bed with a stack of cookbooks with BIG pictures! All I need is a picture and I can almost imagine the recipe and ingredients. Who would I recommend? I don't know....maybe a good magazine or cookbook like the Australian Women's Weekly which you can find old copies of in used bookstores...great great photos and recipes!
