“Knives at Dawn” Giveaway
A few weeks ago, Top Chef featured the team behind the Bocuse d’Or USA, the world’s most prestigious cooking competition. KNIVES AT DAWN: The American Quest for Culinary Glory at the Legendary Bocuse d’Or Competition, gives an unparalleled, behind-the-scenes look at the Bocuse d’Or.
Author Andrew Friedman illuminates the story of the groundbreaking support raised for the 2009 American team—what the team did, how they did it, and what they learned. This is the only book on the subject written with the full consent and cooperation of Chefs Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller as well as the Bocuse d’Or USA committee, and the book traces the selection of the American team, the development of their dishes, and their training at a specially outfitted house two doors down from Keller’s The French Laundry in Yountville, California.
Sounds like an interesting story, right? The publisher has offered to giveaway 2 copies of this book!
To enter: Leave a comment on this post about your favorite cooking show.
I will randomly pick a winner tomorrow morning.
Good luck!

i actually love gawking at Paula Dean’s rediculous amount of butter!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:40 am
I love Ready, Steady, Cook- not sure if you get it in the US, but worth watching if you get the chance!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Barefoot Contessa and Giada.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:41 am
This is great, and I know my chef husband would love to read this almost as much as I would
I’ve been DVR’ing and watching a ton of old Cooking with Jacques & Julia lately, but Top Chef is also a perennial favorite.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:42 am
I love love love Top Chef – it’s always nice to know that professional chefs can fail epically every once in a while. Chefs, they’re just like US!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:42 am
I love Rachel Ray and Giada!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:42 am
I like Iron Chef…I can’t turn away when it’s on!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:42 am
I love 30 Minute Meals, and Tyler Florence. Really anything on the Food Channel, i constantly have it on!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:43 am
It’s not that I necessarily make Barefoot Contessa’s recipes (though they usually look delicious!), it’s just that for some reason, her show is my television equivalent of yoga. instant de-stress.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Giada! All of the recipes are usually really simple, but full of flavor. Her excitement for beautiful, fresh ingredients and food in general is contagious! Plus, she’s absolutely gorgeous!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:44 am
I like Giada – she is so soothing
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:44 am
I love Giada, Barefoot Contessa and Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. I can’t believe what he gets away with!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Does the Today Show count? I love whenever Matt, Al or Meredith cook with someone on the show
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Okay am I a dork that thought they were saying bocuse DOOR the whole night. I was trying to figure out how the door was worked into the competition
I’d love to read an interesting book like this.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Well since I’m in Paris, I have access to French cooking shows! One of them is called Un Dîner Presque Parfait (An Almost Perfect Dinner) where people compete to throw the best dinner party for other contestants and are judged based on decorations, food, originality, creativity, etc. It’s actually quite a good show!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Paula Dean is soooo funny
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:51 am
I love chopped.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:55 am
There aren’t many cooling shows I don’t like, but I do love Top Chef!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:55 am
My favorite cooking show would have to be Nigella Lawson…she makes great things and is not afraid to show how much she loves to eat them.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Top Chef is my top dog, but I also really like Barefoot Contessa.
Thanks for the giveaway!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:56 am
I’m a dietetics major, so I’ve taken a ton of chemistry and food science classes. Alton Brown’s show Good Eats is corny, but he really knows a lot about food chemistry, which I love!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Top Chef is my favorite. I love when Bravo shows marathons so I can spend all day watching.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:59 am
You named it: Top Chef! I love all cooking shows though and watch food network all the time
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Top Chef hands down! Although, I do enjoy an occasional Throwndown with Bobby Flay!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Wow, where do I begin?! There are so many cooking shows I adore. Most recently I’ve been hooked on Challenge (cake making competition) and Top Chef: Vegas. I think what I love most is the rush and excitement from all the competitiveness.
Have a great day, dear!
bec xo
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I love everything Bravo so I have to say Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:06 am
My favorite cooking show is definitely Good Eats with Alton Brown. I love how much detail he goes into one specific food and you really understand how you’re using it and why you’re doing what you do. Very informative! And he had ridiclous costumes and sets most of the time.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:07 am
I love semi-homemade with Sandra Lee
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:10 am
my favorite cooking show is Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:10 am
Everyday Italian and Barefoot Contessa are my favorite cooking shows!

I love Top Chef and Alton Brown, he is soooo smart and goofy I cant help but love him!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Alton Brown is my favorite – I’m a scientist, and I love how he actually explains why things work. He’s pretty funny, too
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:21 am
How to select just one? Top Chef, Ina Garten and of course Alton Brown.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I love Good Eats. I would love to learn to cook with Alton. And Ina!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Top Chef and Rachel Ray’s 30 minute meals are my favorites. I found working out with the Food Network channel on makes the time fly especially when I am having one of those ‘non-motivated’ days.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Rachael Ray and Top Chef are great
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Hells Kitchen!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:30 am
I really like Giada’s show. Her food always looks so yummy. And I love Top Chef for the exciting competition and Alton Brown for the quirky science.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:31 am
Nigella Lawson makes the most decadent desserts without them seeming too ridiculous (unlike Paula Dean!).
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:31 am
I don’t know if this is considered a cooking show but my favorite is Hell’s Kitchen. I love Everyday Italian too.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:32 am
I like Giada the best…but the entire Food Network is one of my favorite channels.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:33 am
i love home cooking with paula dean, giada, and ina garten and also barefoot contessa
jenna
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:34 am
I love Top Chef. But, in terms of instructional shows – I love Alton Brown and Rachael Ray.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:36 am
Alton Brown and Paula Dean, without a doubt. They both have awesome cooking styles and it’s always good entertainment to watch them cook. No dullness to be found!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:42 am
Barefoot Contessa and racheal ray
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:43 am
RR and Paula Dean
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:43 am

I love Giada the most!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:45 am

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:45 am
top chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:45 am
I like the show with Sam the cooking guy. I think it’s called “Just Cook This”. It is really simple and tasty looking meals.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:46 am
I love Bobby Flay’s Throwdown!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:46 am

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:51 am
Giada At Home, by far.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I love Iron Chef — it’s easy to get caught up in the action and excitement.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:55 am
I like to watch Chef at Home and Fresh. I love the Food Network in general.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:56 am

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:01 am
I love watching 30 minute meals with Rachel Ray. I rarely make her meals but I get inspiration from her show!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:02 am
My favorite is ironically, Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:02 am

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:04 am

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:05 am
I love Top Chef, but I also really love Take Home Chef on TLC! Does anyone know if that is still on???
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:08 am
I love Rachael Ray!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:11 am
I love Iron Chef! I prefer the original Japanese version, though. The overdubbing of the translated dialogue is hilariously bad.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Top Chef wins for favorite reality show…Barefoot Contessa for cooking show
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Top Chef!! I cannot get enough of it!

I love Top Chef! I also really love Giada and Paula on the food network
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:16 am
paula deen makes me smile! i wish she was my grandma
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:19 am
I love food network, it is hard to choose just one show. But I would say Giada at Home is my current favorite. Everything she makes is so pretty!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Has to be Jamie Oliver- local, seasonal ingredients, and a fantastic accent
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Top Chef and I like Ellie Krieger!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:22 am
I love Good Eats with Alton Brown. I’m such a nerd and I love all the science behind the cooking (as well as the quirky humor, of course)!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:23 am
I was slow to get on the reality bandwagon, but Top Chef is one of those set on my DVR.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Down home with the neelys!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:25 am
ask aida!!! “{
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:25 am
It’s hard to pick just one show, so I will narrow it down to Paula (love your zest for life and butter) and Alton.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:25 am
I stay up to watch Top Chef every week! I suffer at 5am on Thursday mornings, but it’s totally worth it!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:26 am
I love watching Emeril Green. Not only does he make good food but he throws in food and health facts. I think it’s cool that he can make bad for you food and good for you food.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Favorite cooking show of all time-Yan Can Cook, I loved his passion and he got me excited about cooking at a young age.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:28 am
My favorite show is Top Chef! But I also love “The Best Think I Ever Ate”, “Chopped” and “Chefs vs. City”.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Top Chef! I love love love this show b/c the cooking challenges are so inventive and you really get a sense of the chef’s personalities.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Iron Chef America!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:35 am
LOVE top chef! Let’s go Kevin!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:38 am
I’m a big fan of Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:41 am
I don’t have cable so I don’t get to watch cooking shows regularly. But from what I have seen, I really enjoy Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, but it has to be the un-blipped British version instead!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:42 am
i love books about food and cooking!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Iron Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:43 am
I love Paula’s Best Dishes. She’s a little too crazy with the butter, but her recipes are still delicious if you leave it out. Also, she’s just so effortless and fun, and seems to really love what she does.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I don’t have cable so I watch a lot of PBS to get my cooking fix – I am in LOVE with Jacques Pepin. His accent is the best and he makes some delicious looking meals. I also like Joanne Weir, America’s Test Kitchen, and Cristina Cooks!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I love Top Chef. I cannot get enough!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:45 am
I could watch Marha Stewart cook all day. Perhaps odd to say, but her almost dogmaic insistence on quality ingredients and her careful technique is thoughtful and informative. She often cooks with guests (which I find to be challenging) and I enjoy watching her work with other people- especially because she has such a brazen personality.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:46 am
top chef for sure.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:47 am
Top Chef! I love it!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:48 am
definitely top chef, but i also can just watch food network all day long. learning about cooking and food is my favorite thing in the world!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:52 am
I love healthy decadence by devan alexander! She makes such yummy meals!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:53 am
My favorite cooking show would have to be Nigella’s Bites…I love how she views food, cooking and eating. It’s refreshing!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Top Chef- Go Kevin!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
I hope I am not too late, but my favorie cooking show is Giada at Home
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Top Chef is easily my favorite! But I also love Barefoot Contessa
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
I like to watch diners, drive ins, and dives!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Five Ingredient Fix!!!

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:06 pm

Top Chef and Barefoot Contessa are my favs!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Love the Italian drama of Cake Boss, and the cakes are always so extravagent.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Haha, well as you know… Martha Stewart is pretty much my idol. But I love a lot if different shows – Throw Down, Top Chef, Tyler’s Ultimate… it could go on and on!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I love, love, love cooking shows! My favorites are probably Top Chef, Dinner Impossible, and Barefoot Contessa.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:16 pm

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:18 pm

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Cooking shows are definitely my thing! I love Top Chef and Giada too!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
My absolute favourite has to be Good Eats by Alton Brown!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
I love Giada on Food Network. Her recipes are always simple and turn out delicious.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Good Eats! Because its the only cooking show I can seem to REMEMBER the recipes. I love how he explains his way through the episode, talking abut the science behind it all. It helps when your trying to make something with “just what you’ve got” sometimes I can remember what actually holds the dish together, not just making it taste good
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Paula Deen, Rachel Ray, Giada.. they’re all great
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Top Chef and Good Eats!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I love both Top Chef and Good Eats.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
My favorite cooking show is Americas Test Kitchen. I love seeing how they rate the different products and foods.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
I love Top Chef! Very exciting!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
i honestly love all of the cooking shows on food network, bravo, etc. they are all interesting! but if i had to choose just one, i’d go with Good Eats. because we all love a solid education about food from alton brown!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
This book looks great! I really like watching “Chopped”….the time constraints and ingredients make it an amazing competition.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I love Top Chef!!! I hope Brian or Kevin wins this season! And my other fav is Diners Drive Ins and Dives.. oh and Good Eats.. I love them all, I can’t pick just one!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I loved watching this on Top Chef, I would love to win this book!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I’m in love with Top Chef Las Vegas! Can’t wait for the finale!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Guilty pleasures include Top Chef and Chopped.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I love Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Top Chef is my favorite competition cooking show, but Good Eats is the best regular cooking show because of the science behind the food…I have a ridiculous nerd crush on Alton Brown!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
no joke, when i was little my parents often caught me watching julia child/jacques pepin instead of mr. rogers. I should really be a much better cook than i am, haha
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Barefoot Contessa!! I love Ina Garten, would give anything to meet her and literally have not seen her make a recipe that I would not LOVE to eat.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Definitely Good Eats! Alton Brown is the man and I want to eat everything he makes!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Giada at Home and Jamie (Oliver) at Home. Both faves. Oh, and Top Chef. Seriously, can’t miss an episode–ever.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
I love Good Eats with Alton Brown and the Feasting on Ashphalt series he has done. He is so knowledgable and funny!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
I like the cooking show where the guy ambushes people and takes them grocery shopping and teaches them how to cook something…I’ve only seen it a couple times and I have no idea what it’s called!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Top Chef is by far my favorite cooking show. My husband and I love it!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:23 pm

Top Chef and also Sandra Lee’s Semi-Homemade Meals. She always makes yummy dishes and drinks.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I have the Food Network in the background pretty much all the time I’m working at home, but my favorite show to sit down and really WATCH is Top Chef. I’ve been watching since the first season and am a huge fan of Herold, but Sam is my favorite man of all time.
Thanks for yet another awesome giveaway! (hope I’m not too late!)
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Top Chef is definitely my favorite.

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Top Chef is my all time favorite show on TV!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Paula Deen – her accent reminds me of home and family! So comforting…

My favorite is Rachael Ray. 30 Minute Meals rule!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I love either Giada or the Barefoot Contessa, Ina sometimes bugs me, but her recipes are amazing! I just love Giada though, she is funny, gorgeous and makes wonderful dishes.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Giada!!

I always love some classic Emeril!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
I love watching the food network channel all together but If I was to pick a favorite cooking show it would be Healthy Appetite With Ellie Kreiger. Her recipes are very healthy and simple to make. I love how she mentions all of the vitamins and minerals that are in the recipes she makes.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Top Chef all the way – prior to TC though, it was America’s Test Kitchen Live!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
I love Barefoot Contessa with Ina Garten. All her recipes are winners!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
My favorite cooking show to watch is Giada on Food Network!!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
i don’t have a tv, but i love watching hell’s kitchen on hulu.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Iron Chef! It never gets old.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Barefoot Contessa – she makes some fabulous eats!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I am a huge fan of Mr. Flay. I have visited his restaurants and use his recipes daily!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Rachel Ray!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
I really like Ellie Krieger, Giada and Barefoot Contessa but my favorite show is probably Diners, Driveins and Dives!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Ace of Cakes. They do the most amazing things!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Giada on the Food Network!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
I love the Chopping Block. It is so amazing how they make dishes from a basket of odds and ends. I wish I was able to come up with great food ideas from the odds and ends in my fridge.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Not exactly a cooking show, but I love to watch Ace of Cakes!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Barefoot Contessa!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I’d say it’s a toss-up between the Barefoot Contessa and anything with Giada.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Top Chef! I actually just learned of this competition this season, and this sound slike it would be an interesting book
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
i love giada and barefoot contessa the most!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
I love cooking/food shows in general but Good Eats with Alton Brown and Top Chef are definitely my faves.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
I’m a huge Top Chef fan for the entertainment value, anything with Julia Child for the instructional value.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I love food network, especially Ina Garten! And I know it’s not a TV show, but I love Epicurious too!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
I love love Top Chef and Barefoot Contessa. I learn so much from Ina Garten, and I like to watch the creative minds at work on Top Chef – I hope KEVIN wins!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
It’s a toss up between Top Chef and Iron Chef for me!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
It is both a show about travel and food, but I love Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations.” I really like his sardonic sense of humor.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
i’m obsessed with top chef! i also like giada and ina garten
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 5:53 pm

Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
This sounds like an awesome book, I’ve always wanted to go to culinary school! My favorites would have to be jamie oliver, giada, guy and alton brown. When I watch tv it’s mostly the food network or HGTV
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
I love watching Jamie Oliver’s cooking shows on FoodTV

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 8:01 pm

on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I can’t choose between two – Chef at Home and Top Chef!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
I love everything on Food Network, but I guess my favorite would have to be Healthy Decadence.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Oooh, I’m a big Top Chef fan!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Anything with Curtis stone or Jamie Oliver

Good Eats is my favorite – love Alton Brown.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Bobby Flay is a favorite of mine–he recently visited my Aunts former restaurant–The Loveless–he challenged the lady that makes the biscuits to a bake off between his and her biscuits! They showed The Loveless Peach and Blackberry preserves–my husband and I almost had to drive to Nashville as they looked so good and brought back memories of eating at The Loveless–and we live in Austin, Texas!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I’m a Rachael Ray fan – so 30 Minute Meals is one of my favorites!
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Guy Fieri is without a doubt my favorite chef and Guy’s big bite is my favorite cooking show! Oh ya and how could anyone not love diners, drive-ins and dives! Love cooking shows! Food Network is ALWAYS on:}
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
French Food at Home with Laura Calder
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Top chef on Bravo! Though I always seem to watch hours of Food Network too, so it’s a tough call.
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Rachel Ray! I watch her talk show too
on Dec 6th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Does Angela @ Oh She Glows count?

on Dec 7th, 2009 at 12:52 am
Oh man, my dad would LOVE that book!
My favorite cooking show is definitely Paula Deen. I could never use that much butter, but she’s just adorable!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 1:02 am

I love Giada!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 10:20 am
I love Nigella Feasts and the Barefoot Contessa – I really want to be one of Ida’s friends, Hamptons anyone?
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 10:26 am
I LOOOVE watching Barefoot Contessa during work b/c her voice is so soothing. But nothing beats Top Chef in my heart!!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 10:34 am
I love watching Giada on the Foodnetwork. It makes me laugh when she talks normal and throws in an Italian slang on a word – Parrrmegaanno!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Good Eats!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Throwdown with Bobby Flay!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 10:59 am
My favorite is Ellie Krieger’s Healthy Appetite. Love her!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 11:04 am
Love top chef and bobby flay
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 11:06 am
I looooove Top Chef. Really rooting for Bryan Voltaggio this season!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 11:17 am
Definitely Top Chef! I was so sad when Jen was eliminated!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Oh I hope I’m not too late – my favorite cooking show is actually a British show, Gordon Ramsay’s The F Word. It’s not a traditional cooking show, per se, but it shows the preparation of many dishes, and it has such a focus on local food, I love it!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
I love Top Chef and also Good Eats with Alton Brown
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I love Top Chef and Bobby Flay!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
I love Iron Chef America. It’s so kitchy sometimes, and the chairman is a hoot (so theatrical!), but the creativity is awesome.
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Top Chef!
on Dec 7th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Top Chef is definitely my favorite. The Masters version was the best
