Rachael Ray, Giada, Paula Deen or Sandra Lee?

Paula Deen is the funnest to watch! I love her cooking and it is nice to use butter if we want to and cook "regular" foods that are always enjoyed. ! Rachele Ray is wacky and chatty and makes fast easy meals - makes cooking so much fun without all the long ordeal it can be sometimes. Sandra Lee - she is interestig to watch - she comes up with some great things, fun creative, even kid oriented and just incorporates a full meal which is nice to see how it all comes together so easy. Giada? You mean "cleavage girl"? I can't stand watching that one. Why? well first I get disgusted at having to see her cleaveage ALL THE TIME! Her low cut, tight fitting tops and always right in your face. Ever notice that whatever she reaches for ... ingredient, tool..anything....it is always IN FRONT of her.. never to the side or behind, always in front.... so she has to lean forward....hum...wonder why? Maybe your boyfriend would let you watch more cooking shows if you watched Everyday Italian with Giada! Second reason I don't like her show is cause she just seems to make things that are just not what a normal, everyday, housewife, working kind of person would make. Granted, that is just my opinion, but I have forced myself to watch the show just to learn about italian cooking, but it just wasn't enough to make me sit through "her". I love Bobby Flay, especially the Throw-Down shows! Those are so much fun! I dont' care much for Emeril, and I realy enjoy the NExt Food NEtwork Star reality shows! Those are so much fun. Just recently watched the Next Iron Chef and that was really good. Barefoot Contessa is another one that is always on, but to me is so boring - that woman just doesn't have any "life" to her.

I love Paula Deen. I've tried a few of her recipes and they always are a hit. Too bad the recipes are so high calorie and high fat. I love looking at her new kitchen and I used to get such a kick out of seeing that old dog strolling by when she was cooking. I think she has gotten a little too commercialized now - she's doing cruises, cookware, etc, etc., but aren't they all? I like Emeril as well. I think I could make some of his stuff too. Oh, for a family that would eat something a tiny bit different or with an onion or garlic included in the recipe. Oh, and I will agree about "Miss Cleavage". One look at her show was enough!

Oh man Emeril is by far my favorite. In fact he is my hero. Kinda Sexy for a big fella. My husband is crazy for Rachel Ray, he sits and drools when I have her on. I have to hand him a kleenex, and lift his chin from the floor occasionally. All that aside I watch the food network on the weekends and I too love it.

I love Food network, too! I think my fav show is Paula's homecooking or Paula's Party. I like watching shows around dinner time, and then going straight into the kitchen with a fresh idea from a show I just watched. :]

I've certainly enjoyed reading all of these responses! Wish I had something new to offer, but I don't have cable, so I have never seen ANY of these people except for Rachael Ray on her regular network show and Bobby Flay on, I guess, the Early Show on CBS. Now I know what I'm missing. Wahhhh!

Rachel Ray is my fav. I also love her talk show. I watch her every chance I get ! She's got some great recipes and stuff. Only wish I could afford her cookware and cookbooks. One of these days I will, esp if I keep posting here. Maybe that should be my goal... post in discussions to earn enough to buy that stuff. ;)

The closest I get to cooking is heating up frozen pizza but I do like cooking shows. I haven't watched in a long time but back in the day, my favorite was Miss Paula Deen.I liked how she had fun cooking her dishes and that most of the recipes had a memory linked to them.I loved her stories.Now I see she is cooking in front of a live audience. I haven't tried the show. I like her in her own kitchen with just her and the cameraman.

I like Paula Deen's homecooking. I like her southern accent. I also like Anton Brown. He makes cooking so scientific. He's a funny guy.
