my favorite cooking shows don't come on food network. the first is a show called
"great chefs" and it was a no nonsense show with very little production. it
showed great chefs preparing dishes in a commerical kitchen that was empty
except for maybe a sous. it used to air on the discovery channel. i have no idea
where it got to. it was narrated by some lady with a rather regal southern
accent. another really good show imo is recipetv that comes on a local channel
here but is produced by entertainment studios. it's similiar to great chefs in
production in that there is no glitz involved. just a chef in a commercial
kitchen preparing good looking interesting dishes. the cool thing about it is
they blaze through the dishes showing five or six different dishes in 1/2 an
hour.
