Any Fandras here?


Yes, she's cooking with cheese today. Cheez whiz, to be exact

She's ok. I do love Giada (Everyday Italian). Now that's one hot woman. :wub:

And I bet both of them eat exactly 2 breadsticks a day. I imagine they give all the food they make to the camera crew. Although I'd actually eat Giada's food.

Does anyone just LOVE what she does with angelfood cake? Canned frosting and cornnuts and canned apple pie filling stuffed in its hole YUM YUM.

Man I can't stand her show, and I can't stand Giada. Urgh.
I couldn't stand that Jack Corgan? Lady or whatever either.
I like Paula, Ina, and Rachel though! (My mother loves the food network channel. If you couldn't tell.)

Yeah Giada smiles weirdly but her recipes are cool.
I must say, I love how Miss lee used Cool Whip to top an angel food cake in a recent episode. She said it tastes just like fresh whipping cream if you add vanilla extract INto it. Also, I always keep my ranch seasoning packets in the fridge for wheenver I LITERALLY dress-up a storebought rotisserie chicken. It just plumps up, right in the oven.
She's so smrat!

I like Sandra's show cause the food is fairly easy to make. She also cracks me up how she makes cocktails every show. Most of the time she drinks half of them before the show is over. But I LOVE Rachael Ray. I have been watching her for a while.

mm have you tried her recipes with Ricotta cheese yet? I substiute almond paste, just like she says, and it comes out perfect. I couldn't find the guava juice though so I used strawberry jelly.

i love Paula Dean and Ina....never trust a skinny cook.... :D

PAULA uses too much butter in her food. But I made one of her butter cakes and it was good, although I could only eat 1/4 of a slice per day. it got stale before I could finish it!
I also like how Miss Lee shows us that you don't have to measure alcohol, just keep pouring and save the rest for a late night binge. I was particularily heartened when she showed her nephew, Brycer, how to mix cocktails. What a sweet Aunt!

Wow look at her whisk! What a trouper Miss Lee is, she works so hard to make her food:

Yeah Paula uses a lot of butter in her food. When we cook recipes were trying not to use that much butter if we do we go for margarine or unsalted.
I suppose I can tell that you don't like Sandra Lee. Lol.

Miss Lee is the pinnacle of Food Entertainment! She don't need nothin' extra, as you can see in the above picture. What do ya'll think of her tablescapes though? I think only mad genius could put a chandalier on a table and call it Fntastic.

I'm with you on that. Paula Dean Rocks. I also like Ina and Dave Lieberman.

Foodnetwork is one of my favorite stations. My favorites are Ina, Giada, Rachel, and Tyler Florence...yummy! I've actually made Rachel's Chicken Jambalika, her take on Jambalaya, that she got from her dad. I add Creole sausage and shrimp with mine and it is a huge hit with my hubby, family, and friends. It's actually evolved into my own recipe with some secret ingredients. ;)
Sandra Lee isn't one of my favorites because her recipes lack a sense of freshness and whole ingredients. I'm just not a boxed product consumer.

I love Giada. And she is a hottie..this coming from a girl...lol.
Anyway, Sandra Lee is alright. My faves happen to be Rachel Ray, Giada Delorenza(sp), and Paula Deen, and Tyler Florence. (growwwwwl) :wub:
