A noteworthy show to check out on Netflix is Crazy Delicious. If you're a fan of out of the box cooking shows and beautiful surroundings, I highly recommend it. Fair warning it shouldn't be binged, but rather watched as a nice sporadic treat. The show is hosted by food enthusiast and comedian Jayde Adams whose […]
This week on Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Anne Burrell were stunned by sushi and bento boxes and not in a good way. With Sushi being my all-time favorite food, I was both pleased with learning how to roll and horrified at what a shrimp tempura roll should not look […]
Netflix has yet another magical show premiering on June 24 and I'll be first in line to binge-watch its lovely wonders. Crazy Delicious seems very similar to last month's The Big Flower Fight except the creations are made out of spectacular food items. Serving as the host is British comedian, writer, and food enthusiast Jayde […]
There are some freezing and baking times and poof you got your hollow dough The next part is the most important: the stuffing, which is when Brown tackles pastry cream Get out your vanilla, eggs, sugar, whole milk, unsalted butter, and cornstarch Follow a very strict proportions regiment and then mix, simmer, and temper Don’t[...]
On the finale of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, Johnny Bananas goes head-to-head against Wells Adams in a three-dish Main Challenge. Before they step into an official kitchen and show off all they have learned from their trainers, Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence have one more Skill Drill challenge in store for them and […]
With this week's episode of Good Eats: Reloaded on Cooking Channel, Alton Brown revisits a 2004 episode on all things fungal, educating us on how to grow shiitake mushrooms in our own homes. I think I'll stick to store-bought for now. I love mushrooms in any form, grilled, sautéed, baked, and of course pickled. Yes, Ukrainians pickle pretty […]
Clearly baking is nobody’s forte During the "Skill Drill Game," the recruits can’t even match the dessert to its proper title The only thing I was able to identify were the macaroons, where the hell did they get those sweets from?[caption id="attachment_1219093" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Judges Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence on Worst Cooks in America[...]
This week on Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, Remote-Control Chef had me screaming with comedic anecdotes and horror. The celebrity recruits take on the role of puppet master and deconstruct what appears to be a crime scene, perform an autopsy while controlling judges Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence; add a little "Rated R" action […]
Cut into desired shapes and place an inch apart on a lined baking sheet If desired, stamp with a cookie stamp or mold Bake in a 325-degree oven for 8 to 12 minutes, adjusting the baking time depending on the thickness of your biscuits Cool before removing from pan and enjoy with your favorite furry[...]
Welcome to the inferno that is the celebrity edition of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America. Judges Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence are back to whip in to shape seven celebrity wannabee cooks, and they are horrific, granted they seemed to have been drinking the entire first episode. The seven new recruits are Wells Adams […]
To make the most exceptional and moist cake, mix the ingredients (after measuring them out: 342g flour, 295g milk, 228g butter, 14g baking powder) and then feel free to start feeling overwhelmed All ingredients are mixed in a ritualistic manner (am I the only one who thinks Brown would make an exceptional serial killer?) and[...]
Good Eats was one of those shows I got into when I was a child because of my mother. She loved Alton Brown's nontraditional tactics, comedic anecdotes, and bizarre humor. I didn't develop a true love for him (ok, and possibly a little crush) until Cutthroat Kitchen, – which I will confess to having binge-watched […]
The second half of Netflix's Nailed It! season four had the contestants getting progressively worse if that's even possible, oh wait it is. With phallic themed challenges, cake toppers being buried alive and swallowed by quicksand and bakers being easily distracted and unable to multitask – seriously where do they find these people? Host and […]
My favorite baking competition is back, with Nailed It dropping a fourth season on Netflix with a first-half filled with Shakespearean "comedy of horrors" and abstract representations of what not to do when baking The new season is packed with lots of energy and innovation and not the good kind that inspires people but rather[...]
A very exciting finale of Food Network's Tournament of Champions, where the randomizer proved a brutal punisher by pairing some truly unconventional items together. The competition started with ten men and six women, and the best-of-the-best remained to go head-to-head. For the West Coast, we had Brooke Williamson vs Antonia Lofaso; and for the East […]
Let's give it up to the ladies on this week's edition of Food Network's Tournament of Champions, as they wiped their mixing bowls clean with the other contestants. So maybe I'm being a little "girl power" subjective here. The star chefs really stepped it up this week and showed the "new kids on the block" […]
This week on Food Network's Tournament of Champions, the underdogs continue to kick some serious butt. Clearly just because they don't have as many wins under their belt doesn't mean they are not rockstars in the kitchen. With the exception of my pick to win the entire competition Antonia Laofaso the newer chefs are scoring […]
So sad to review the final episode of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, having genuinely enjoyed the season and of course the dynamic between hosts Alton Brown and Anne Burrell. Brown taking the prize for most eccentric, and frightening judge Worst Cooks has ever seen – the Blue Team will surely be having nightmares […]
This week on Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, "High Steaks" found the remaining four recruits competed for a spot in the finale, and the remaining two players were not a surprise, although they came a long way, they have consistently taken the win in the Main Dish challenge. No game to start things off, […]
Hosts Anne Burrell and Alton Brown welcome 16 new disaster chefs to the gauntlet of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, and they are absolutely horrible; each one with their own food poisoning or kitchen burn down story to tell, these folks appear to be hopeless. This season the contestants will be guided by Burrell […]
