New cooking show in the US

[Svadhisthana]

HA Ha Ha Ha Ha!! Thanks Kimmie!


p.s. I caught the tail end of his Show today and it was nice. He seems laid back, intelligent, and it isn't painful to watch him (like some other hosts )

Sure seems like a good show. Maybe if we all emailed Discovery they might in the future present a cooking show or two.

Sounds like a good idea to me, Iza.

Looking for links to Cheftalk, I just spent the last 2 hours in happy truffle-hunting. There is some good stuff out there. Here's a selection, I'm sure you could find a hundred more:

Internet Web Guide Magazine (1999): http://www.internetwebguide.com/mag99/Nov/foo_dri.asp

Seattle Times (Cheftalk..."was our favourite gourmet site on the web" http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/new..._19990418.html

Mellow fruitfulness for ever!

I would be interested to know what Canadian Food Network shows some of you do like.

Cook Like a Chef has potential, although I don't like the way the chefs look so artificially pumped up. The Great Canadian Food Show is always interesting, but once again, Carlo Rota's over the top personality is overdone, and frankly, it makes the Canadians that he interviews seem falsely boring...As far as quality Canadian shows go, I think that's pretty much it.

[Kimmie]

There!

All has been said.

I remember Ken and Barbie! My mom and I used to watch them together and that was before Food Network (maybe CBC)? We used to just shake our heads. Last time I was home, Ken and Company was on and my mom practically yelled at me to change the channel. She can't stand Ken although she does think the show is better than Ken and Barbie. One of my mom's Japanese boarders actually bought their cookbook. My mom tried one recipe with yogurt, fresh fennel, sweet onions and salmon. It was very good but I don't think my mom actually followed the directions. She took the idea and cooked her own thing.

I can see how Carlo Rota could be annoying but since I've only had small doses of him, I didn't find him anymore annoying than Gordon Elliott in Follow That Food. Actually, the two shows are very similar.

As for Canadian censors, it's a rather odd censorship system isn't it? I mean it's not all that uncommon to see full nudity yet more words get bleeped depending on the time of day. I won't be all that surprised to hear that there's a Canadian late night nudist cooking show where everyone is very polite After all, Canada is the birthplace of the Sunday Night *** Show!

Seriously folks, I took real pleasure in watching the old PBS show «Cooking with Master Chefs» with Julia Child on Saturday.

She and her guests are like a breath of fresh air!

Did you get Baking with Julia up there Kimmie? I liked that even better and even bought the book!

[Kimmie]

Yes, Nancya, I bought the book here (Montreal). When the television series started, I went to the store, they didn't receive it yet and I made a special order.

It's amongst my favorite books and I use it weekly.

As I was reading the posts, I really thought "Ken & Barbie" were Bobby Flay & Jackie Malouf! Ha! Guess I was wrong. Think I need to check out the show to see what you guys are referring to.

Here's a picture: Ken&Barbie
As you can see, Barbie she is, Ken doll he ain't (only by name!)..

Although I will be the first to admit that Food TV Canada has some limitations, primarily not enough selection, I think it is the best part of my cable line up. A lot of good stuff there. The Inn Chef and Cook like a Chef for hands-on instruction and many others for fun and entertainment. Is the glass half full or half empty?
