The food network has become the station where the hosts and chefs look, well, good enough to eat.
At the Food Network, E.V.O.O. means extra-virgin olive oil. But theres also a bit of T&A on hand and that definitely does not stand for tomatoes and apples.
The Food network has a subscriber base of 88 million, a group that has blossomed in its 13 years from 6.5 million members in 1993.
Much of the success can be attributed to Emeril Lagasse, who strapped the fledgling food tv network to his back and carried it through the nineties.
But a new savior has arrived and frankly one that quite a bit easier on the eyes. If I may steal a phrase from the food diva, she's Yum-O!.
With four – count 'em hour - shows on the Food Network, including "30-Minute Meals," in which she puts together meals in under 30 minutes silly, and "$40 a Day," in which she dines while traveling on a budget - two best selling cookbooks out this year, a new magazine - Rachael Ray knows how to heat up things up in and out of the kitchen!
Ray is a 37-year-old wholesome hottie who has taken the Baton from Lagasse to become the face - and body - of the Food Network.
Ray is author of 11 books and namesake of a new magazine. She has also posed in skimpy shorts for a little FHM "action".
She's also the first foodie expert to do a talk show, which is set to air next fall. The show will focus on "taking a bigger bite out of life."
Didn't claim she's a better cook. :-)
Plus she's married.
Cooking wise I like the lady from Savannah.
Sorry, my bad. I mis-read the thread and to whom you were replying. Please read my user name for explaination.
So this will be your last meal of fried chicken in bacon grease for awhile, huh?
you now get a special dispensation to EAT chocolate...latest study says it reduces heart disease in women..
They may cook the food, but they must not actually EAT the food. Otherwise, I don't know how they keep those figures.
Chicken soup..it really works....but the real thing..
That's okay. They're both lovely, but Giada's is the only house I'd want to be invited to for dinner.
You are bad my friend. Well done!
BTW, where'd that pic come from?
Thank you. Hope you feel better sweetie!
I've been running daily the last few years..got back to it because of stress..the absolute best thing ..the weight drops off, and you can eat whatever you want..
FMH magazine. It's just like Maxim.
LOL...
LOL!! I can cook, I just don't like to do it. I'd much rather whip up some brownies or a cake rather then a main dish.
My mom's side of the family is Greek and I've started cooking some Greek food and for some reason don't mind that as much. Probably all the Ouzo. :-D
That's why I married a skinny guy. LOL!!
Mine was skinny when I GOT him..... :)
Never noticed. LOL.
That's a good idea.
I figured she got married. It looked like she put on about 40 lbs.
