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 !!!

Cloud · 04-02-2007, 12:35 AM

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.

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.

Clodfobble · 04-02-2007, 11:02 AM

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

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....

... as I don't know if any of these names will travel.

If we're talking chefs just to watch, I love Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his enthusiasm and the respect he has for real ingredients.

Heston Blumenthal because his ideas fascinate me and I find him rather attractive.

And the Hairy Bikers, because it's more than a cookery show (oh and Jamie Oliver when he's abroad, but again that's more about the travelogue).

But for being tempted into making the actual food:
Nigella Lawson because the food is so unpretentious (sadly she never seems to cook for less than 8 people)
and Gary Rhodes - although I find him irritating he cooks traditional food with a twist.

Cloud · 04-02-2007, 01:43 PM

I do like Rachel Ray, though--she's cute, and unpretentious because--she's not a chef!

I also like Giada, because she's pretty and has such a great backstory.

Agreed. I prefer her only on the 30-minute meal show. Only thing bugs me about her is that she loves her some "ee-vee-oh-oh."

Alton Brown is very entertaining. Or is it edutaining?

Sheldonrs · 04-02-2007, 04:10 PM

I also loved the Two Fat Ladies. Great show and very bawdy sometimes.
