My favorite cooking shows

Nigella Bites - homey food presented with an elegant flair that’s not fussy but sure looks like it. Today I saw her make a chili with a crunchy cinnamon cornbread cover. I ooohh’d and ahhhh’d at the easy but elegant recipe. And, any woman who isn’t afraid to say she uses paper napkins is a friend of mine.

Kylie Kwong: Simply Magic  this show is an in depth look at China and the cooking methods that millions eat from everyday.  Her first show Kylie Kwong cooking with heart and soul  is my favorite. Kylie tells stories when she cooks and on occasion brings different family members in to share her cooking methods and delicious dishes.  In one of my favorite shows her Mother comes on and they both cook mashed potatoes for her niece to judge whos are best. What a lovely family and lovely laid back cooking style.

Rob Rainford License to Grill - all his food is cooked on grills! Rob’s show is awesome because if it’s 100 degrees outside he makes you love it. If it’s 30 degrees outside you are wishing it was 100 and you can smell and feel summer. I swear I can smell the Hickory chips when he smokes brisket. MMMM…

Paula’s Home Cooking – This show plan reminds me of home and my Grandma’s cooking. I’m originally from NC, Paula brings the South back in my heart and fills up my tummy everytime I watch her. I also secretly love the accent, it just feels like home to listen to her talk- “Home made patata salad yaw, ain’t nuthin’ like it” – if I close my eyes I can see my Maw Maw saying those same words.
