Oops. I forgot that I watch Lidia constantly. She's my favorite chef currently on tv.
Yes, Patricia Wells is wonderful and now that we are seeing more of her, she is lovely and charming.
I guess we are so lucky to have such a proliferation of chefs to be having this thread.

The late, great Justin Wilson. His cookbook is the most used and well stained cookbook my family owns.
Rachael Ray for second wife only. As for chef skills, I looked at her cookbook and the recipes appear to be at the Campbell's Soup cookbook level. Not what I want for supper.

granni - my point wasn't a debate about the pecking order in a kitchen so much (and I don't dispute your comments). My point was that there are some people who claim to be "chefs" but arguably aren't.

All these foodies! Anybody going to the NRA Show in Chicago this weekend? I will be there from Sat to Tues and have some time to hook up in between parties. I am the Program Coordinator for DiRoNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America). Would love to bump into a Fodorite or two....

Paula Dean gets me laughing so hard I have to go look up the recipes on the website. My wife says there is no way Giatta eats her own cooking swears she would weigh 300# if she did. Emeril has so many combinations with his New England roots and living in New Orleans.

hulajake,
That's what we say about Giada too!!!! We actually think the only bit she has of her food is the one she does in front of the camera. She cooks ALOT with butther and (and also too carby for me now) but she is so tiny! No way she eats any of her fattening stuff. Either that or she works out the rest of the time when she's not filming!
