Rachael Ray's voice grates on me, but I just love to watch that show! I think I'm going to try her "stewp" from last night. It was a chicken cacciatore ravioli stew. Looked pretty good! Did anyone see that one? She had a little girl named Sabia on with her.

Geeze not heard of that one, and trust me I have seen all the cooking shows we can possibly get here, Jr Minks is big time into them... she aspires to be a chef. Speaking of which, the kid is totallly wrapped up in ...."The Iron Chef" ever since she was like 4 she loved to watch cooking shows hehehehe

Yeah, I've seen Food 911 too.

I like watching Sandra Lee, but sometimes she seems a bit too prissy for me.

I really enjoy watching Paula Dean, though. And her boys are cute too!

My daughter and I like to watch 30 minute meals when we get the chance. I think RayRay is a little too perky and chatty but seems like a nice person. I do like a lot of her recipes and several are now on my regulars list. I think we all like meals that cook up without too much hassle and hers fit the bill nicely. I also like Paula Deen but have to admit that some of her offerings look kinda fatty! However, I did make her gingerbread/pumpkin trifle for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit and not too heavy at all. That was the one that people kept asking for seconds. Yum.

We watch that show-wish I could cook stuff like that in 30 minutes!

Yeah, she's a really fast chopper. And I think you're right... some of Paula's food does look really fatty! But GOOOOOD!!!!

I can never chop food like that! All those cooking shows they just effortlessly chop away, it's done in seconds!

I try all the time! But I'm not quite that fast. I used to sell Pampered Chef & still can't do it! hahaha!!

That looks like the pans that Tyler Florence uses to cook with on How To Boil Water! I'd love to get that, but very expensive!

I'm sure we have a Williams-Sonoma office locally! Saw the sign.
