Question of the Day: Do You Give Out Your Prized Recipes?
When I am asked for a recipe I generally give them all the ingredients and rough proportions but since I really don't measure it very precisely it comes out some of this or that or whatever was on hand. I try to give them a technique - if there was something special. I also encourage them to experiment and maybe change or emphasize what they like in a dish.
If it's a pastry item I'll just refer them to the cookbook / author and tell them if I modified it in some way (changing the extract or the fruit ... whatever - but that is usually minor). The fun part is in the experimenting.

Most - Alton Brown and Giada - ditto on fatbuddy's comment
Least - Emeril (in any version), Rachael Ray (ADD is not attractive) and Sandra Lee ...(Paula Deen is closing in fast to be on this list)
The FN used to be so good but then they moved to a more variety show format. Iron Chef Am - is the worst because you see so little of how something is done - they should have a follow up show to show/discuss techniques or flavor pairings but frantic running and pithy comments get old very fast.
