"Here's one I made earlier!"

Hi thea I was never into watching those cooking shows. To me that skip some important steps when I try to make it or they rush thru it very quickly. I will just stick to my cooking book and of course the family that has made it before..LOL Have a good evening thea and as always keep smiling.. Are you going to cook up something and mail it to me...LOL

I was not aware that Greek Chefs will stay on the air every step of the way. I guess though that air time is more affordable there? or The Greeks are willing to spend the money more, I am not sure. I don't watch t.v. cooking shoes that often but have watched Rachael Ray a few times at work! I think it's interesting the dishes, but don't know that I'd ever make them... and as for what, if anything I eat? bleh, I'm usually just drinking water.

I never watch them though I must admit I was tempted to watch "What Would Brian Boitano Make"...

I am not keen on cooking although I love to eat...A lot! I never get inspired to cook, only to consume the food! Jamie Oliver is a good and practical chef with a down to earth way; he does produce delicious looking meals. I like watching Gordon Ramsay because he is quite unbelievable, I don’t like the guy and I feel for the poor people who have to work with him but he is very clever and fascinating to watch, oh...And the food looks good too!

tv chefs don't interest me at all. the ingredients they use are difficult to pronounce let alone procure them..... they also seem to be always teasing the viewers by catch phrases like "it tastes really good" etc... never came across a chef who says...'oops!!...this one went horribly wrong...please don't try at home...'

Honestly thea, yes! Actually, today I am able to cook because of television! I was always in hostels, so I never really got a chance to learn cooking. My cousins were trained by their mothers. When it came to me, there was a kind of indifference shown by family members. I once asked one of my aunt what should I do if the dish turns out salty, she said add some chillies, it overpowers. I didn't know it was said in a ridiculing way. Much later I learnt that we need to use a potato if such a thing should happen! Well, the lady who came on the show told that you get this masala in market, buy it, add while seasoning for the taste to seep through, and when it is done, you add a bit. I did that, and today the vegetables I cook are liked by our friend circle. :) She also mentioned that have patience till onions are done, and tomatoes are done. I owe that lady. Tarla Dalala. :) Of course, I am not sharing the secret with my family and friends. :) I also make good idlis, and sambhar because of folks like that. :)

Lol Thea No I do not even watch them lol as I find them boring and also I would not be able to remember all the Ingredients and if I do I would probably have to go out and buy them lol there is only me to cook for so no need to watch the Cooking Programs

On sundays, usually there a couple of TV programmes on the same time, where two chefs in two different channels give us cookery lessons. The problem is, either both the shows are good, or both are bad. Usually I pester my wife to watch the shows, and after begging and fighting with her for a couple of weeks, she will try to make that particular dish. Unfortunately, till today, she has not come anywhere near the original dishes. Of course, like King Bruce, we are going on trying, and hope one day at least one dish will be up to the mark.

I love cooking and I used to be glued to the tv whenever there is a cookery show but not anymore. The thing I don't like about these cookery shows is that they are sponsored by certain brands of food and their recipes are geared to promote the brand of goods in the show. I have turned my attention to youtube as they are more neutral and I can pick and choose which recipes I want to see by just typing in the food I want to cook or bake.

I very rarely watch them if ever...but I should. My younger sister watches them all the time and lately when you get an invite to her house the meal is so wonderful. Last time I was there she made these merangie cups filled with a fresh fruit in a sauce topped with a bit of real whipped cream! They were wonderful!

hi thea I have gotten to the p oint where I watch little tv as Ihave my computer and monitor back. I used to watch Jaques Peppin as I and my son would marvel at the amount of butter he used in everything. Of course his baked stuff turned out really delicious he used a ton of butter in every thing. We always laughed when he would say use x amount of butter, as much as you want. We noticed as the year progressed he seemed to expand a bit in the waist, getting a bit tubbier as time went on. I used to watch Julia Childs at times as she made fairly good sense with her cooking. but as I could not afford the amount of butter in my cooking that Jaques used health wise I stopped watching his show.Here my G nobody watches anything that could really inform their minds,all they watch are old John Wayne movies, and Bonanza all of which were okay at one time maybe thirty years ago. Yuck. Now things like CSI and the various medical shows that I enjoy these people here never watch. No wonder I am a computer addict. I cannot afford a tv so stick to my computer. As I have no way of cooking now,theres not a whole lot of reason for me to watch cooking shows. And Martha Stewart she gives me a pain in the horses rear end.

I don't watch the cooking shows, I already know how to cook, lol. I don't have enough patience to sit there all the time it takes them to cook. As i use to tell my children when they couldn't be still they had ants in their pants, guess they got it from their mom.
