My favorite is Tyler Florence. I could watch that man all day--- and his cooking's pretty good, too! My DH isn't thrilled when he walks in and I'm watching one of Tyler's show. Though, he has bought me Tyler's cookbooks. I, also, like Paula Deen and the Barefoot Contessa. DH likes to watch "The Chocolate Chick" AKA Giada.
P.S. I, also, enjoy watching Nigella Feasts. I think it's her lovely accent, exotic ingredients, and British measurements (grams and such) that are fascinating.

Jamie Oliver - I enjoy his enthusiasm! And his approach to teaching kids how to cook, is superb. Wish I had that knack!

I forgot about him.......The Naked Chef.
I used to have a crush on him years ago. :P I love his accent.

Oh yeah and hubby was obsessed with Take Home Chef for a while. I didn't/don't mind watching him all the time either.
Easy on my eyes, and again the accent. 8-)

If I were say 25 years younger.....I hear ya OTown! I love his accent too!

When I would say I liked the Naked Chef, you should have seen the reactions I'd get.

Well, I've teased my husband about Rachael Ray enough.......he likes her! LOL

Hmm, I never noticed that Giada had a large head. Of course, that's not what I look at the most. ;)

I watch many of the shows but always try to catch Rachel Ray's shows. Her recipes consist of ingredients that can usually be found at the local grocery store and are rather inexpensive. I've gotten some great idea from watching her shows. I do like to watch Giada, Emeril, barefoot Contessa, etc.

My faves are Rachel Ray, Paula Deen, and I like Sandra Lee (the semi-homemade chick).

Rachel has talked about the cheap tipping on $40....she says that she tips the standard 15%, but that they always end up going back after the bit to tip more.

Yes, Giada does look like a bobblehead LOL I don't know how she can eat pasta and desserts and stay that itty-bitty. She must only eat whatever it is that she eats on her show - the couple of bites here and there.

I don't think Paula, Rachel or Sandra are Chef's... Neither is Inga. they are simply cooks.
Most of the others are actual Chef's

I think Alton is the best. The food network obviously thinks a lot of him
making him the Official for the cook offs.

She has a head? And she cooks?
