Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Have you seen the American Iron Chef version, Linda? I like that Alton Brown guy but it is still hard for me to like it over the original Iron Chef. Do they still show the original version? I was not a Julia Childs fan. She seemed a bit too snobbish.. It took a few episodes for me to like that Graham Kerr guy. It took more than a few episodes for me to like Emeril Lagasse. The Naked Chef is cool. That Bobbly Flay guy is usually cool but sometimes I'm not sure how he got as popular as he did. Anyone know what the name of that old school Louisiana type chef was/is?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I watch the Food Network a lot too, mostly in the background, while I'm cooking. I find myself screening the shows though to see if they'll be making enough vegetarian stuff for it to be worth watching. It's too bad they don't have an all-veg show yet. I keep watching the Next Food Network Star shows hoping someone will come out of that, but the healthy chefs always end up getting the boot first. Same thing with Top Chef on Bravo, etc.. -Erin , " LindaC " <muggle311 wrote: > > I watch the food network alot on the weekend however I think my favorites are Giada and the Barefoot Contessa with a bit of Paula Deen thrown in. > I also have found I like Michael Chiarello too.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Julia was a great cook I thought and I loved her sense of humor. She was so British, although born in CA, and thus could come across as stuffy which she wasn't really. When she screwed up on TV she would laugh and just brush it away. She also held that we should have our lovely treats and enjoy good food, just in moderation. Kind of like the French. I have never seen the American version of Iron Chef. Is it funny, weird, strange, good? I am not on extended cable since the move and haven't had a chance to see what it is that I do get. I don't like most of the cooks that they have on now...I know how they choose those people too...they may not know much about cooking just groomed to carry a show due to looks and personality and obedient. Emeril is too hyper for me. Kerr...I enjoyed his old show way back when (the Galloping Gourmet), but the newer version I didn't care for much. On Galloping he had a hysterical sense of humor and I loved it. He lived close to me when I lived on Whidbey Island in WA. Did you ever see the Frugal Gourmet with Jeff Smith...he was a passable cook. I ran into him once at Pike's Market in Seattle...the man was huge, absolutely huge. A giant and intimidating. He lost everything though when accused of molesting young boys working for him. He died a bit back I believe. I remember the Louisiana guy you are talking about. He was a hoot. He never measured salt either and it looked like he was putting it in by the cups. He would say 1 TBSP and dump it into his hand, it looked like 3 TBSP., so then he would pour it into a TBSP. and it would be 1 TBSP. just like he said just to show us. I wonder if he is even still alive...that food he cooked looked wonderful, but OMGoddess, a heart stopper. LA has a horrendous death rate from diseases like stroke and heart attack and diabetes. But I enjoyed him a lot...he was truly a cook of LA and a character. I miss the old chefs, they were really cooks, not just groomed personalities. There was another guy from Canada, think he did his show out of Vancouver, he had a limp? He aimed his show at newbie cooks and he was great too. I have one of his books that I picked up a few years ago at a flea market in Canada. I treasure that actually. I'll have to find it and see if there are any vegan recipes in it. A trip down memory lane. LOL linda " subprong " <subprong > Have you seen the American Iron Chef version, Linda?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 One of the problems with the vegetarian cooking that I have seen is that they seem to be terrified to not have a huge load of cheese, eggs, milk, creams, butter, etc which really undoes any hope of bettering one's health. And, for me, it makes it really difficult to try to veganize their recipes. I think they are afraid of not having the meat (protein) and lack of flavor. We should go teach them a thing or two. PT, let's start our own cooking show! linda " Erin " <truepatriot > I watch the Food Network a lot too, mostly in the background, > while I'm cooking.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Oh I forgot about the wine but yes he did like a glass of wine with whatever it was he made. I have to admit I will always remember his cracker salad and Paula Deen made one too it is out of this world. Easy and crunchy Saltines, HC egg, green onions, tomatoes and mayonnaise! Crush the crackers, egg and chop the rest and mix--it is quick and great for summer-don't do ahead of time but it is a quick one.

She was such a klutz, always making a mess in the kitchen.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I respect all the chefs and love the cooking shows but Gordon Ramsey can really be harsh. I enjoy Alton Brown the best, what a great quirky sense of humor he has. Monica , " cozyhomelife " <cozyhomelife wrote: > > I'm not sure if it was TOP CHEF or one of the very similar shows, with Gordon Ramsey, but I was amazed at the poor girl that scalded her hand, and ran from the kitchen! The first aid for a burn is IMMEDIATE cold water. Seconds count. Just like food removed from the oven or nuker, skin continues too 'cook' after burning and you must stop it immediately to prevent a worse burn. And yet, surrounded by water, she runs from the kitchen and is seen having butter/lard put on her burn in the back somewhere. COLD WATER IMMEDIATELY IS THE FIRST THING, SECONDS COUNTS, DON'T DELAY! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi everybody, I'm new here. I'm on my way to become vegetarian and I'm going to jump right in cooking recipes I find here. My husband is not really into it, he doesn't believe in " veggies and grains " as protein, so I'm going to prove him wrong About the cook shows, I really enjoy watching Kitchen Nightmares, the british version. You can really see why chef Gordon Ramsey is the way he is. I think they try to make him look harsher in the US shows. I learned a lot just watching him cook, saving bad restaurants, seeing how important it is to have fresh produce, local produce when possible, simplicity in your dishes as a philosophy for a menu. I absolutely respect the guy and sometimes, not so good on my part, enjoy him yelling and cursing like a sailor at the crazy wannabes from the shows. Anyhow... love your group, I'll post my reviews and recipes as I get them Have a wonderful day everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 It's unbelievable that they KNOW they are cooking for him and bring out food that is gone bad already, like the time he threw up the gone scallops. I remember him praying before eating, " Lord, please don't let me get food poisoning for the 4th this month! Just think, if they know they are preparing their 'best' dish for him to sample, and still feed HIM that way, why would they care about US? http://blogs.delphiforums.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?webtag=cozy_at_home & nav=start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
