This morning Linda and I began recalling some of the best known chefs who gained and maintained their popularity on their TV shows:
Some of the main ones that immediately came to mind are, in no particular order:
- Julia Child
- Emeril Lagasse
- Martha Stewart
- Jacques Pepin
- Lidia Bastianich
- Jamie Oliver
- Mario Batali
- Giada di Laurentis
- Bobby Flay
- Rachel Ray
And there were several others, but our most favorite was, did you guess ? - it was Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa !
The reason I mention her to you on this post is that sh'e still going strong, having re-vitalized her repertoire of relatively new recipes which I would say, are real winners.
She can be seen these days on the Magnolia network on Saturday evenings - if memory serves me right, it's around 5:00 or 6:00 pm I believe, Pacific time, but would then likely be 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. on the east coast.
Give it a watch if interested - it's among a number of other shows featuring, as an example, Chip & Jo-ann of Waco, Texas home renovation fame. (And Jo-Ann cooks wonderfully on her new cooking show).
As to Ina Garten, I just tried one of her newish recipes last night (Linda had none, as she's allergic to garlic, believe it or not)
I's a terrific version of Lemon and Garlic Chicken breast, which was absolutely/superbly different - I loved it !
You might want to look it up and give it a try sometime.

Its where I got my first foundations in cooking. More recently I have an instagram and facebook account that I use sparingly for my kids and FB Market place. In these I seem to have been flagged by their metrics as I get inundated with reels on cooking (and gardening). I will admit I have gotten some decent ideas from them. Could be worse I guess.
