My favorite is Ina Garten. I like to cook. My husband is obsessed with cooking now that he is retired. We both love Ina Garten's recipes. We've never made an Ina Garten recipe that we didn't like.
I always enjoy watching her show. I always learn something new about cooking when I watch her show. She has such interesting friends! Plus, she has a really cool husband.
I like Ree Drummond as well. I love the fact that she is from Oklahoma and has done so much for the town of Pawhuska, which is not far from the town where I grew up. I think some of her recipes are really great, but she doesn't have as much training as some of the other chefs on the food network and I don't really feel like I learn a lot about cooking from her. I do like that her recipes are pretty easy and that she uses ingredients that most people have on hand. It's also fun to see the ranch.

I like Ina Garten as well, and I also have her cookbook. I used to like Michael Chiarello, but I don't see him on anymore.

I like Ina Garten as well and am bummed that I don't see her on more shows. I also am a big fan of Top Chef. In the apartment building I lived in in DC, we had lots of area chefs living in the building including Kwame from Top Chef. It was fun to get to know the local chefs and go to their restaurants.

I like to watch Ina’s show and really like her recipes. I also like Giada’s recipes but I can’t watch her show, the over enunciation of Italian ingredients grates my nerves. But I love how she uses a lot of fresh bright flavors in her cooking.

I like Ina, too. I also Molly Yeh from Girl Meets Farm.

I love Ina as well - her and Jeffery are so cute and her recipes are always awesome.
We have a few Canadian shows on our Food Network and I love Lynn Crawford. She’s hilarious and her food is amazing.

Another Ina fan. I think we have all of her cookbooks, so we may have a problem. LOL There is a new one coming out next month that I've preordered.
Alton Brown is probably my big crush though. He and his better half's quarantine kitchen shows have been fun.
After that I'll watch The Kitchen and I wish Tyler Florence still had a show because his recipes were winners.

Ina all the way. Her recipes are impeccable. Never made something of hers that wasn't a hit. Just love everything about her.

Yes, Tyler Florence is a very close 2nd to Ina. Love him so much!! |

I love Tyler Florence, but never see him on anything these days. I have a marinara recipe of his that is so easy and tasty. He just seems like he would be fun to hang around with.

I adore Ina Garten's recipes and have all her cookbooks. I’ve made many of her recipes and they’ve all been hits. That being said, I have a hard time watching her show and the way she simpers over Jeffrey. On the other hand, I love watching Nigella Lawson, but have never made any of her recipes. Something about the way she goes into the fridge and eats straight from containers at the end of her shows appeals to me.

oooH! good subject. I loooove Chefs.
My favorite would be -Ree Drummond
-Molly Yeh who is fairly local to me, but it bothers me she uses Tahini paste in everything. WTH??? we don't eat that in MN? haha-her sticky rib recipe is our go-to right now. We just don't cut them up in individual pieces to grill. do the whole slab
-Ina-made a few of her recipes, and they are ok
-Justin Sutherland-top Chef, eaten at his restaurant, very community involved.
-Amy thielen, another local Chef, had her own show on food network, but it was cancelled after 2 seasons. I think she was just too out there for them. She likes to do a lot of farm to table, and involved recipes.
-Like Alton Brown, but again, his recipes are sort of out there at times. to complicated.
-trisha Yearwood-her recipes have been hit and miss for me.

Delicious Miss Brown is a newer show on Food Network and she has made some downright delicious food. Have a few recipes saved to try.

I love watching old Julia Child shows on YouTube (the French Chef)
I really like “Make This Tonight” which used to be on Netflix (or Hulu?) but seems to have disappeared- does anyone else watch it? It led me to discover Lazarus Lynch (Son of a Southern Chef) whom I adore and has amazing recipes.
Christy Tiegan has great recipes and a show

Ina's brownies are the bomb. She's definitely one of my favorites.
I also like Alton Brown, and the whole PBS line up of cooks past and present. I also (tangent) love Padma Lakshmi's new series Taste the Nation.

My mom and I have made quite a few recipes from Ina and Ree. I enjoy watching Alex Guarnaschelli, Aarti Sequiera and Damaris Phillips -- I feel like I learn something every time I watch them. I have and love Johnny Iuzzini's cookbook, Sugar Rush. I love his chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I really want to try his brioche recipe, but I can't find fresh yeast around here. Edited to add: Thanks for the reminder on Chrissy Teigen, ~summer~! I have both of her cookbooks. |

PW and Trish Yearwood... I don't really copy recipes from TV chefs but I do PWs, I have three of her cookbooks..... Trish I just like to watch her show and I think I have made one thing from her.
I'm not really into cooking shows though. Cause I really hate to cook. lol

Christy Tiegan has great recipes and a show I know Chrissy gets raves about her cookbooks, but does she have a show? she is on one of the fun cooking shows on Netflix (or at least some episodes) - I think sometimes with John Chang (another celebrity I love) - I’d have to research which one though... I’ve made her chicken satay with spicy peanut sauce twice in past week - such a huge hit with my kids |

Amanda Freitag was robbed!
I just made the a pioneer Woman’s Bruschetta Chicken tonight. I so want another serving! Red is my favorite for family meals. It’s regular food that mt family will eat, although I do try to substitute to lower the fat content.
For company meals/entertaining, Ina Garten is my go-to. I scored 2 of her cookbooks at the thrift shop last week and I was really excited!
Alton Brown is my favorite for technicality because he explains the science of cooking.
I live Molly Yeh’s show, but don’t make a lot. Too many ingredients are hard to find here.

And not so much for her recipes - but instead for the beautiful photography and amazing fantasy life - I love Mimi Thorisson. Highly recommend her cookbooks for beautiful photos of the life you wish you led haha.

Ina Garten. Love her style and have several of her cookbooks. Always a good result when using her recipes!
Martha Stewart. I have been a fan since her first book, Entertaining, came out in 1982. Her books really helped me learn to navigate in the kitchen and how to entertain when I was a young married girl.
Alton Brown. For the simple fact that I was never able to cook edible brown rice until I found his recipe for baking it!

Bobby Flay is a favorite of mine. We have similar cooking styles and flavor profiles that I just liked his combinations.
Ree Drummond, for the simple fact she cooks for a family and isn’t fancy.
Back in the day it was also Rachel Ray. When my kids were younger and I had no time to cook, she really taught me many shortcuts and ideas with her 30 minute meals. I know the show is back, but it has a different vibe and I have more time now. I still like her foods, but I will make them more evolved and more time to develop flavors.

Ina Garten is my hands-down, all-time favorite. I use her recipes all the time. It's classic cooking done impeccably.
I also loved the series A Chef's Life with Vivian Howard.
Ree Drummond's recipes are generally good.
I've seen a few of the Molly Yeh shows as well and liked what I saw.
