I have absolutely zero interest in cooking-related shows, either on TV or radio or online. What about you, do you like them? ~

    Oh yes I have posted on here about New Scandinavian Cooking which is my fave.  Also Marianne Esposito on Ciao Italia, Christopher Kimball's Milk Street TV.   And I watch selected others such as Lucky Chow and New Orleans Cooking.  I recorded 14 seasons of New Scan Cook which I watch every week as my husband massages my feet and body.  I cook but really the point is that people watch them because they like to eat.  Which is true of most people.

    I watch them when I get the chance, especially the vegetarian ones, which are few compared to the others.
    I love cooking food that looks good, smells good, tastes good and is nutritious.
    I love picking up new ideas for experimentation.

    I have absolutely no interest at all in cooking shows.  I have watched Rachael Ray when I'm waiting in the doctor's office and I find her very irritating.

    She was irritating twenty years ago when I watched her a few times.  I wouldn't say she is representative of the best in cooking shows.

    Pfft!  Why should I watch those things when I'm a much better cook than they'll ever be.  Why, I'm so good that I can actually scorch water - without even trying!  Ever see anyone on those cooking shows do that?

    That is because you have your talented and lovely wife to cook for you.  I dearly hope you never make her mad enough to send you to your room without dinner for the rest of your life. 
    Big Winks and Smiles and a friendly hello to her.
    No, I don't but I'm sure Don wishes I did!

    I am a fan of Alton Brown, who does the show "Good Eats". I learned a lot of tips from him.

    Like Element 99, I am also a fan of Good Eats---as well as his latest endeavor, Good Eats Reloaded.

  • I never tune in to those programs.  What's to know about opening a bag of Tyson chicken from the freezer and tossing a few pieces in the oven?  That's all I need to get by, and it's at least a step up from Hot Pockets.

    Only that a constant diet of that type of food leads to colon cancer and numerous other health problem.
    The effects are cumulative over time.
    A small amount once in while does no harm.
