Dunno if it fits in here or not but I recently bought the Food Chanel (Canadian version) on my cable connection. It has very quickly become my favorite non-sports channel (along with Historia). My favorite chef is definitely Bobby Flay but I also really like Alton Brown, Rob Rainford and Nigella Lawson (this woman is sooooo... sexy). I got a bit of a problem with Rachel Ray though... I find her a bit too conceited. Anyway I really like the Chanel, if you like to look, pro or not, you'll like it too. Any opinions ? Don't know this one, Doc. However, I will confess to not missing "Iron Chef" when it was on. I really enjoyed watching these guys do their thing within an hour. And, it's a big deal to defeat one of the three "Iron Chefs." It doesn't happen too frequently. The USA tried to copy it but when they brought out William Shatner as the MC for the inaugural show, they missed the boat IMHO. Like a lot of shows, nothing like the original. Cheers. If you ever find time, I suggest giving a second chance to Iron Chef America Rick. Alton Brown is now the color commentator and he is highly entertaining. They got Batalli and Flay as 2 of the resident Iron chefs and both are highly skilled, witty and funny.

I hear you about Rachel Ray. Frankly I'm not quite sure what she's doing there... I find her culinary skills to be, well, ordinary. Nigella... Ditto and ditto. Yes, he is very entertaining, and his recipes do make for decent chow. Too bad he doesn't currently have any shows. I found him to be entertaining and informative, as well as a great evangelist for authentic Italian cooking. Ming something is his name, right? He did seem a bit snobby at times but he certainly knows his stuff. 幸せな調理!
