I LOVE Alton Brown.

Below a link to a Blog post I made about the more famous TV chefs. Also included, Rachel Ray AND Alton Brown.

THOSE WHCKY TV CHEFS

I like Alton Brown too, but he does get long-winded sometimes. I recently watched his show on puff pastry, because I am determined to do a Beef Wellington ala-Gordon Ramsay, but I swear, Brown talks so much, you can barely focus on the FOOD sometimes. I dont need to know the origin of the rice molecule, or that Eskimos were the first to bottle water, I just want to learn to COOK.

I concur with your reviews. My husband LOVES Giada, and we can surmise why. LOL! She does cook things that are quite good, however.

I am a non-Ray fan. For best down home cooking I really like Paula Deen's recipes.

Once my husband and I made egg rolls from an Emeril recipe. They were pretty good but the eight egg rolls cost us almost 40 dollars in ingredients, so our chief lesson was in what a bargain the egg rolls from our local Chinese restaurant really are! HA!
