I find myself drawn to Ina Garten. I didn't always, but in the last year, I love a lot of her recipes.
What is your current favorite celebrity chef that you seek out recipes from?

Ina is definitely one of my go-to celebrity chefs. I really like Jamie Oliver, too.

I love Ina as well. I own a few of her books and use them frequently. Her show is a little slow for me. When it comes to shows, I really like Tiffani Thiessen. Her show us fun and she has some really great recipes.

I really want to say Ina since she is seem so sophisticated and I have been a fan for a long time. But...... Pioneer Woman gets my vote my family loves her recipes.

I don't really cook much but I think Tyler Florence is a dish. Does that count?

I like recipes from most of them. I want simple recipes that contain easily purchased groceries. For a while there I was making most recipes from 30 minute meals. Now I am more Pioneer Woman with Ina's desserts.

I love Ina. Several of her recipes are on my permanent rotation. And her cookbooks are pure eye candy.
I have a soft spot for Rachael Ray as well...back when she was starting out and less obnoxious, her 30 Minute Meals show taught me a ton about how to cook.
And I like to watch Martha Stewart's baking show and Lidia Bastianich's Italian cooking show on PBS. Martha's recipes are usually spot-on. I haven't tried any of Lidia's, but I'd like to get her big cookbook and try.

Jamie Oliver for me....I have 4 of his books and actually use them
Close second would be Nigella Lwason for her cakes...I have her old " how to be a domestic goddess" book and it is awesome

I like Pioneer Woman's lower fat recipes. I like her high fat ones, too, but I have to pretend to cook healthier meals. Also, anything from America's Test Kitchen is always good.

I own a lot of cookbooks but I don't actually cook from many of them ... I just read them and then display them  When I use a recipe I get it from the internet ... a number have been, surprisingly, from The Pioneer Woman ... her Chicken Tortilla Soup is soooooo good  When it comes to eye candy chefs, my fav would be Curtis Stone  |

Before I opened the thread my first thought was Ina. I adore her, love her show and have 2 cookbooks. I find her recipes always turn out so fabulous and I'm not a seasoned cook. I feed my family but I'd never call myself anything better than a "just average cook" so I'm always impressed with myself after I attempt one of her recipes!

Jamie Oliver and Alton Brown (not a chef per se, but you know). AB's chocolate chip cookie recipe is my go-to.

Ina Garten is my hands-down all-time favorite. I've never had a recipe of hers turn out less than stellar.
The others whose recipes I use the most are Ree Drummond, Trisha Yearwood, and Paula Deen.

Watch how she chops an onion in those older shows. perfect mince. I finally figured out what she does and haven't had to use my chopper since.
