For recipes or you just like?

I follow Ina Garten's recipes..I think she cooks great!

As for just liking in general..I really like Bobby Flay!

Who is your fav chef?

I get most of my recipes from blogs. I have made some of Rachel Ray's, Gordon Ramsey's and Giada's recipes - they've all come out really good.

Giada kind of annoys me but I really like Rachel Ray, Gordon Ramsey and Bobby Flay!

I haven't had cable in a few years and food network is the one channel I truly miss. I love ina garten, her recipes always come out awesome! I've tried a few rachel ray recipes and don't love most of them. I have a few paula deen and alton brown recipes that I really like. Tyler Florence and Bobby Flay look like they have great stuff but it's usually too complicated for me. Every bobby flay recipe I look at has at least two varieties of chili peppers I've never even heard of! Ina Garten is really my go to.

Re: Who is your fav chef?

I love Alton Brown. Probably the biggest reason is because I don't cook (at all), and he explains the science behind everything he does. Chat Icon

Who is your fav chef?

Ree Drumond from Pioneer Woman. Her food is easy to make, pretty common and I have never had anything that wasn't amazing. I also like that she writes the recipe and shows you the process. If I could only follow one chef it would be her!

Re: Who is your fav chef?

I don't really like her personality but I love her recipes... Ina Garten.

And I like to watch Giada but sometimes her recipes just are too complicated for me.

I agree! I think her and Ina seem to have the most basic but delicious recipes!

I love Ina Garten. I have all of her cookbooks, and I just love her whole cooking and entertaining style.

I like a lot of Giada's recipes (have a lot of her cookbooks), but her whole persona just grates on my nerves. I was looking forward to watching Food Networks' "Thanksgiving Live" show, but I felt like Giada was so b%tchy on the show! She was talking over everyone, flirting over-the-top with Bobby Flay and Alton, being petty with Ina... I really thought she seemed drunk, and then she sliced her finger open, so maybe she was a little looped! LOL.

I really enjoy watching The Pioneer Women Cooks show (Ree Drummond), and I also actually like Trisha Yearwood's show. But I haven't made any of their recipes.

I, too, get a lot of recipes now from blogs and Pinterest (and magazines).

Nigella Lawson, she seems so unpretentious and relatable. I can't stand the regulars on Food Network anymore - Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay, Ina, Giada, they all annoy the crap out of me - although I do love to watch iron Chef and would die of happiness to judge one of Morimoto's battles.

As far as recipes, DH and I tend to gravitate towards Bobby Flay, Aaron McCargo, and Guy Fieri (Guy Ferry)'s recipes because that's the kind of food we like to cook. Ina is great for basics. I almost never use Giada's recipes anymore because I am not a fan of her weird combinations.

Emeril Lagasse. Ate at his restaurant in Orlando and it was the most delicious meal DH and I have ever eaten. But I love watching the Neely's cook. Haven't seen them in a while, but I love them.

I also really like her. I have never had a bad dish with her recipes.

I am also a big fan of Lidia Bastianich. She cooks very similiar to my mom - Northern Itailian cuisine. I like the simplicity of her recipies.
