Mild Bill

Kevin Belton the Louisiana chef is I'm sure a sweet guy, but dang if I don't think I'm watching 'Sesame Street Cooks' with his delivery style... I can't hang in there for more than a minute or two...

It was pretty good before, but my cooking has improved quite a bit since discovering Daisy a few months ago... The magic Achiote oil alone is mostly responsible I think! Tonight I made Arroz con Pollo using Achiote oil and it was ultra beautiful and ultra delicious... My wife said she couldn't stop eating it... Damn if it didn't seem restaurant quality... The quick, canned, 'welcome to my kitchen' intro is kinda perky, but the rest of each show she's quite sweet, funny, and down to earth... Nothing like the supremely unwatchable (for me) Rachael Ray... So take that back! :-)

Magnificent... I'll look for it... I subscribed to their YouTube videos and look forward to seeing them in proper show format... Thanks... ----nose to tail happy...

I'm watching the recorded pie show now.. Ya know that sent-in video asking about types of flour? The woman who dropped the bag on the floor at the supermarket? "Clean-up on aisle 7!"... She does cooking videos on YouTube... The Aida show's Ok... I'm not into baking shows, so I'll be a better judge on another episode when she does stuff I prolly can do... It's gimmicky on a few levels, and I prefer simplicity and purity (PBS) as a rule... We'll see... All the best to them tho...

Did ya see her taste from a big spoon, then tap what was left on the spoon back into the pot? That was funky... I enjoy her and wish her the best---- she's just a little frantic... I feel like I'm gonna have to score some meth to tune into her frequency... (never seen meth btw) Mussells cooked like that 'are' spectacular... The 2-3 times I did something similar I freaked myself out! Last time, I saved the remaining magic pan nectar for a salmon pasta dish a day or two later...

I'm not seein' secrets though... Seems like a regular cooking show... Wow, a poem!

I missed the first show but caught and thoroughly enjoyed the second... The leg of lamb episode... If they'd give her the hour that she so blatantly deserves she could slow it down a bit and bring the whole thing into a rare & special focus... Her skills, comfort, personality, food passion, experience, teaching, & humor are just what the doctor ordered... Other than when I simply look down, I can't remember when I've seen such sweet confident knifework... Since I started listening for it, I've always had an aversion to all the TV cooks who add 'a little bit' of salt, or of this or that... "a little bit", "a little bit"----- drives me crazy... I laughed outloud when she applied "big salt" to the lamb! But she needs a full hour to slow the pace... She is cool---- and cool shouldn't be rushed... That tweak, and I think we'll have a classic on our hands... Smack that lamb-roast! ---- and thanks for informatively tieing it up properly, not in 7 individually tied loops like Thumbs Lagasse do it...

I agree, but if his mind wasn't preoccupied with 'some crazy thing' he probably wouldn't have spaced out on the poke belly...

I've heard of Erectile Dys-Reston but I didn't know about the Ebola thing!

The shows he did on his trips around Italy were profound and wonderful on a bunch of levels... I'm looking forward to this series...

Ha! It used to be, but I'm married and fat now...

With the great chefs, I imagine creating the dish is their focal point for innovation and passion... Their greatest passion(?) Also, 'I imagine' that with Tony the food was his job and his life, but his greatest passions were in/on the periphery... The world of...

I'm really loving this new show... I've seen 2 or 3... She's luminous in that small package! So far I like the things she puts together and then pairs up with a wine... I'll certainly be learning more on the pairing thing, which I need... I'm watching her now... Man, what a smile and personality--- electric! Really in tune and enthusiastic with the food, her guests, the wine, and the show's time management... She's a natural! (I'm trying real hard to control the exclamation marks.) All the best to her, and 'hats off' to her husband!

Bizarre Foods Zimmern is the worst for that open mouth smackin' chewin' noise... I don't want to see, and hear, your mouth open an inch in between chews! Sara Moulton is/was a more serious cooking show, but she was just so nervous, jittery, and time conscious... Consequently, any humorous comments sailed right by her... Certainly there was no 'prime time' fire, vibe, or energy... Good calm PBS cooking instruction show potential for her tho... I do like her--- and I thought she was a real cutiepie when she made herself up all pretty-like... Squintin' at those Q-cards!

Nah, I'll keep eating out. Besides, I can't believe that every cook/chef is that nasty. Every? No-one ever talks about every... 3 outta 10 still ain't a pretty proposition...
