Food Network... Let's give them a hand!
Please give Mario a better time slot! He's lost in the mash-up of midday shows that few people are able to watch. He deserves better.
Rachel Ray, Sandra Lee and Paula Deen should be exiled. Bring them to an island so they can work on recipes that include deep frying store-bought desserts in EVOO. Ugh.

About: Formerly in the publishing world, I left it all to pursue my dream of becoming a chef. Gutsy, maybe, but completely necessary given how obsessed I am with food. My blog chronicles my preparation, recipe development and love of gastronomy. Enjoy!
Favorite foods: Mussels in white wine sauce, flourless chocolate cake, any type of cheese, Gerwurtztraminer, all scones, thin-crust margarita pizza, smoked mozzarella (again, all cheese), cupcakes.
Last bite on earth: The thick, chewy center of a freshly-baked cinnamon roll.
