This week on Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, forget cooking: the recruits couldn’t get past the wicked plastic wrap and can openers There was some very deep stress over hot oil on nipples and serious flirting with chicken cutlets With weak stomachs running amuck and judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Anne Burrell suffering from intense[...]
What a perfect way to end the season of Good Eats: Reloaded on the Cooking Channel. Alton Brown revisits his Willy Wonka inspired 1999 episode on all things chocolate. Apparently Brown dreamed of being Willy Wonka when he was a kid, guess this is as close as he was ever going to get to it. I'll […]
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[...]
I was pleasantly surprised at the premiere of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America When I heard that Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli was to co-host with Anne Burrell, I was quite unhappy I’ve followed her work for years and while I think she's an exceptional chef and deserves all of her acclaims, she is not[...]
With this week's episode of Cooking Channel's Good Eats: Reloaded, Alton Brown revisits episode 70 and talks about something called "choux paste."

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.

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[...]
With this week's episode of Good Eats: Reloaded on Cooking Channel, Alton Brown revisits a 2004 episode and guides us on how to pound it out though plastic wrap and water. To think: my meat tenderize can be used for cooking instead of nailing things around my house. I do agree the flat edge definitely […]
This week, Alton Brown and Good Eats: Reloaded revisited the 2001 episode about oats and he instantly had my attention. Why do you ask? Oatmeal is my #1 go-to for breakfast, it's easy to make, happens to be gluten-free (my obligatory diet of choice) and you can essentially add whatever you want to it to […]
In this week's episode of Food Network's Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition, our celebrity recruits get their hands dirty literally by learning how to slice and dice a fish or rather "finessing the butchering" Most just went "serial killer" on the poor fish Getting their snorkeling gear on, some embraced the fish tank and[...]
This week the celebrity recruits’ pallets get tested in a very unique way when judges Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence teach them that riding is hard on Food Network's Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition How does that tie into cooking you ask?

With Bill Murray set to take on Guy Fieri in the ultimate of ultimate nacho-building this Friday for a Food Network Facebook Live event (more on that in a minute), you'd think the actor and beloved "national uncle" would be hard at work making sure he has the perfect toppings-to-nachos ratio Don't act like you[...]

This week, Alton Brown is back with another episode of Cooking Channel's Good Eats: Reloaded to recap on his first truly caffeinated episode. Coffee, Coffee, and more Coffee.
