I love all the cooking shows. Like all else in life, I take away from it what I find useful/helpful and discard the rest.

I love watching the challenges, and find myself getting anxious as the clock draws to a close. LOL, lots of excitement in food, you know.

I like watching the Take Home Chef, too, as he cooks in plain kitchens, and it is usually a simple meal that can be adapted to something I might eat.

Anyone get Cook's Illustrated? I love that magazine, as well as the Cooking Light.
