Famous TV cooks

That guy from Seattle, I think. Jeff something. Did 3 ancient cuisines. Anyway he turned out to be some kind of perv.

Jeff Smith, the "Frugal Gourmet." He died in 2004.

I believe some woman named Julia Something is rather well known as a TV chef...

Isn't there that French skiier guy, um, Jaques, um um...

There's a really obnoxious one now on PBS named Zonda who is a very happy nutritionist.
Rick Bayless is tolerable and he shows cool places in Mexico on his show.
Lidia Bastinovich is ok once in a while.
Ming Tsai is ok but I get tired of him calling his audience guys.
That's who's on pbs in this part of the country.

Well, from the Graham Kerr era (or even before) - Fanny Craddock, possibly the world's first TV chef.

Now, there are a plethora of them in the UK, my favourites being Gordon Ramsay (multi Michelin starred) and Rick Stein (best fish chef ever IMHO).

Methinks (as Haggis would say) that Pierre Boulle is having a slight piss-take. The Galloping Gourmet was an awful cook. Compare him with Nutrax's Julia Something - no contest.
And Fanny Craddock - oh God. I never saw her on TV. Johnny (wasn't it) and Fanny were a double act. I had one of their books way way back. Why didn't I keep it? Just to show how awful British cooking used to be.

I have kind of started to like Bobby Flay and I enjoy Giada de Lorentis. I loved the two fat ladies from Britain.

Gordon Ramsey is just too obnoxious for me.

I simply love watching Paula Dean and Barefoot Contessa, have never cooked a single thing they make as I cannot justify pounds and pounds of butter, gallons of heavy cream, etc. etc., in every single thing I eat, but oh, I wish I could!

British food and cooking is still the same, but now foreign food and cooking has been imported to Britain.

Whats the difference between Fanny Craddock and a cross country run?.
