It's amazing how a cooking show can even start an argument / debate here at FR.

LOL!

I can't handle Giada as an Italian cook. I picture her taking regular breaks to induce vomiting after daring to taste her food. Italy is now becoming known for eating disorders among young to middle-aged women.

Here's for Rachel.

Giada is so ugly that I have to look away from the screen when they show a blip of her mug, And Rachel is such a doll that I can't take my eyes off the screen when she's on; this will be challenging !! :o)

LOL I suppose, but Im really not arguing or debating with anyone. I dont watch enough of any television show to really have an opinion. I just thought Garyhope's comment about Rachels boobs..or lack of, was funny. Im not all that amazed at some of the things that transpire here on FR...some just love to start a war of words over insignificant garbage :o)

We arent/werent arguing, we're we Garyhope? LOL

Rachael Ray has got to be the most insipid, talentless, and uninteresting "personality" on television. Her culinary "adventures" are pedestrian and completely boring.

Awww, but her laugh is so cute!

Rachel Ray has become a powerhouse because she cooks like a real Mom--only better and with more variety.

Real cooks who love cooking shows get sick of watching chefs with an army of sous-chefs and the neat little rows of mise-en-place...what relevance does that have to someone who needs to feed a hungry, busy family? For years, TV chefs only cooked frou-frou restaurant meals, bristling with chive whiskers. Remember Nouvelle Cuisine, artsy fartsy?

Have you ever noticed just how many different meals she's cooked over the past couple of years? I watch frequently, and have seldom seen a repeat. She's taught me techniques of planning more than actual dishes--how to shop, gather ingredients and get the meals done quickly before the kids raid the cookie drawer after school.

She's not a pro, and people love that. Recently Emeril poached a salmon to use in simple patties, and scolding the audience--how hard is that, he said. Well, that's not hard if you've gone to the grocery store and bought the fresh salmon, something that takes a good part of a REAL cook's day. But the canned salmon out of a well-stocked pantry still makes a pretty good pattie, and you then have the juice in the can to whip up a caper sauce. That's why I'm tired of the chefs, and want to watch real cooks feed a picky family every day.

Well, that's why so many women want to look like her, because men like 'em bony and without tooth enamel. But they won't get that way by eating her cooking. I much prefer a real gal in the kitchen, not Dino de Laurentis's bulimic offspring.

I like all the celebrity chefs the Food Channel. I learn so many great recipes, cooking preparation techniques, etc.

"Rachel is cute..."

Obviously,

"but she's no chef..."

And that means??

"and has No perfect breasts"

But they don't help much while cooking...

means little to a 13 year old boy anyway.

"You can be cute without breasts?!?!?!?!"

(You can be poor without money? a democrat without brains? blind without eyes?...)

Are we talking "Wierd Science" here? ;o)

BTW, I posted this as a sincere FYI because it will be a fun 'Iron Chef America' to watch, but also as something light-hearted to get folks' stressed out minds off the election results today for just a minute or two.
