Love: Anne Burrell....she reminds me of my sister that passed. My sister was extremely instrumental in my cooking success.
Love: Alton Brown.....interesting to know the science behind good cooking.
Loathe: Giadia.....too skinny and fake. No way is she eating what she cooks!

Loathe: Sandra Lee....she doesn't really cook if you ask me.
Also, agree with Mom to Hot Rod.....Melissa d'Arabian does seem phony. I'm all for cooking on a budget, but she seems just too chintzy.
