Celebrity chefs
Apr 2nd, 2008 by Rosemary
I have a friend who calls cooking shows “food porn” and I have to say — she’s totally right.
I’ve watched people make amazing dishes on these TV shows. I think the point is to get you to make it yourself at home.
I think I’ll stick to toast — and perhaps my specialty — burnt scrambled eggs.
I used to think I was alone in my lack of culinary skill –then I saw professional chefs make Gordon Ramsey hurl on Hell’s Kitchen recently.
I mean really, even I know white chocolate, caviar and scallops can’t be good.
If I had to pick a favorite chef, I think it would have to be Tom Colicchio. He looks like a man who can cook, as well as eat.
What do you think?

I’d have to go with Alton Brown, I like the way he explains the science behind cooking, it helps me remember some of the techniques. He also seems to be having fun.

It’s ‘Feasting on Asphalt’ — great show. Alton was recently featured on NPR about a new book based on the show. I missed Hell’s Kitchen last week, but love that angry Brit and his BLOODY RISOTTO.
