Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'

My paternal grandmother, who learned from her mother-in-law so that her husband would continue to get the Italian food he was used to. Also, Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet, from his TV show and books. And, I'm still learning, as I hope always to be.

Padma Lakshmi Developing New 'Cooking and Entertaining' Show

Wow, people on this website get all huffy and pissy about the most inane things.

There's nothing wrong with Padma. She serves her purpose on Top Chef, and is reasonably good at what she does. No one will force you to watch her show. It's not like Top Chef changes lives either.

Oh boy!

Let's watch Padma eat and be merry with her friends when the world is full of poor, starving and homeless children.

There are families torn apart from earthquakes, floods and fire. They live in chaos and don't have the luxury of entertaining people.

I will never watch her show.

Rachael Ray - Why do my 30 minute meals take longer than your 30 minute meals?

Lets see, this question really has a few different answers. I would like to interview Alton Brown just because I love his show and want to see what he is like in real life. One of the most interesting people to interviews would be Paula Dean since she is such a character. Finally, if I had to pick someone purely on good looks (and probably good food too) I'd have to choose Giada De'Laurentes.

Paula Deen - Are the food/vacation specials you've done as fun as they look and where are you and your family going next?

I would interview Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes and ask him how he overcame his difficult teen years to become a successful chef and does he have any advice for teens who are struggleing.
