Re: Do you have a favorite chef or cook?

I read recently that Alton Brown will have a new Food Network show coming out this year, based on "Good Eats".  I think it's called Return Of The Eats or something like that, but not sure when it will debut.

Some I enjoy watching but have not make their recipes - Ree Drummond,Trisha Yearwood, Jacques Pepin (with her daughter) - their personalities shine through.

 

I have made and do enjoy Ina's recipes for both savory and desserts. So happy she willl have a few new episodes comig up. Made many of Martha's cookie recipes. I really loved her show way way back in the 80s or 90s? It was a mix of cooking, gardening, pets and home.

 

I used many recipes from America's Test Kitchen - like their explanations and product testing. Bridget and Julia are fantastic.

 

Gotta give props to Jula Child - she never took herself too seriously. Saw her kitchen in the Smithsonian.

Re: Do you have a favorite chef or cook?

I enjoy watching many TV chef's and cooking shows but when it comes down to it, I relate more to Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman.  No, her recipes certainly aren't gourmet, low cal, low carb, low anything, but she seems down to earth and a home cook like me.

I enjoy the ones that are trained chefs.  I have learned a lot from them over the years.

 

Loved Pierre Farney and Julia Child.  I have always enjoyed Jacques Pepin.

I don’t cook.  I put veggies and chicken or fish in the microwave.  That’s the extent of my cooking.
