Food Network

Have you seen her lately? She'd give JLo...no wait...she'd beat JLo in a big ass competition.

 

Everyday Italian; i have prepared dozens of her recipes

Essence of Emeril: same as above


i have an account at their website....every recipe at your finger tips.

 

Agree on both.
Got into FoodNet when we'd drink or get high and watch Iron Chef.

then came Rachael Ray, one of the more awesome Velmas out there. Tons of good ideas. She's an awesome starting point for anything, and she's doing things quickly in a quality good for almost any situation. There's a lot of smart innovation there for those of us who have to come home,


I like Giada DeLaurentiis, and she's fun to watch. I almost bought her cookbook last year, but when I looked at it, the recipes were nice, and it seemed like an ad for her body. Now I'm more than fine with that, she's smoking. She's like Mary Lou Retton, but actually hot.
But it doesn't make for a better cookbook on italian food, real italian food. So I got this one instead. it's awesome. I'll never need another word on italian, and it gives history and culture. That's how I am, I want to know why it is how it is, and how it developed, and what it meant to them.
