Food TV
I remember many years ago watching The Galloping Gourmet. Even though I was little, Graham Kerr was fun to watch. He was always charming and playful while he sipped wine and cooked. My favorite part of the show was at the very end, when he would taste the meal that he had prepared. He would take a bite and eat it ever so slowly as if it were the best thing he had ever tasted. Then he would grab a lucky someone out of the studio audience to dine with him as the show ended.
Food shows have come a long way.
There was a time when I enjoyed watching Emeril, but all those BAMS! kind of wore me out.
Alton Brown is entertaining to watch, and I like the fact that I always learn something interesting from his show.
Rachael Ray is a personal favorite. Not only does she prepare some awesome 30 minute meals, but she’s kind of cute too.
A new favorite is Double Happiness, hosted by noted chef Leeann Chin and her daughter Katie. The mother and daughter team prepare dishes from their cookbook, and share a little Chinese culture and tradition along the way. Although they have a catering business in Los Angeles, the cooking series was filmed in Hawai’i.
