If you could choose 1 celebrity chef to mentor you, who would you choose?

..and why?

My dh chose Alton Brown because he shares a lot of his meticulous, ocd qualities; while I think I would choose Anne Burrelle, although I find her intimidating, because I think she really loves her students & is very loyal to them, & I respect that attitude in an instructor.

Paula Deen would be a lot of fun, but I'd probably gain way too much weight with her recipes, lol. Hmmm....and Bobby Flay would probably be way too distracting.

Soooo...who would You choose, & why?

Have fun with this, folks! Dream a little dream....

Bobby Flay. Aside from the fact he's nice to look at, he still easy to follow. I've done several recipes from him. All turned out good!

Michael Symon because of his skill and attitude. Or, Thomas Keller, second to none, IMO.

I chose Mario Batali because he is smart, cool and his food looks really good.

Jacques Pepin. He seems so calm. I have watched his shows and mishaps never bother him.

Ann Burrell

I don't watch any of the competition shows, but I have watched many of the actual cooking shows and she really knows her stuff.

Interesting, most of us have different ideas & choices! I like the idea of Marcus too, he seems to be highly respected in the industry, doesn't he?

I was surprised to hear how Michael Simonson has won so many competitions, I never realized that before they recently read off a list of his accomplishments on an episode of Chopped Champions. Impressive!

I hope I spelled their names right.

But wait...what about Gordon Ramsay? Anyone? lol

I'm surprised no one has chosen Rachael Ray or Emeril, yet.

This is fun to imagine. I've been enjoying this season of Worst Cooks in America, so far. Although I was very sad to see 'Double Glasses Donna' go bye-bye :

Jacque Pepin for me too. He's awesome. I've been watching his shows since he had brown hair and I've learned more techniques from him then any other chef. He's amazing. Oh how I wish I could snag a dinner invite to his place!

Curtis Stone.......but alas, he's married and WAY too young..............

Just as Bobby Flay would be distracting, how about Curtis Stone?

Michael Symon for sure. I've been a fan of his since he was a contestant on 'The Next Iron Chef on Food Network.

My first choice would have been Julia Childs as she loved food and also loved a good time but my next choice is Martha Stewart. There are many cooking shows I enjoy watching but none more than hers.

There are so many I like. Vivian Howard comes to mind.
