Claudine is pretty bumbing in the kichen...she was just on Malto Mario the other day as a guest.

Another hottie in the kitchen is Giada De Laurentiis. My husband, who watches too much of The Man Show, with thier cooking tips from porn stars, likes her show. www.foodtv-Giada.com

I didn't watch Claudine for her to cook - that was what Jacques was for... ;)

And I forgot all about Nigella, as I don't think I have the network on which she appears on my cable system.

I have the issue somewhere at home, and I believe it's from earlier this year.

She's also a very attractive woman. But, is it me, or does she seem to have a HUGE head (only rivaling Tyra Banks)? Maybe it's her hairdo...

The show that is a perfect combination of travel and food . . . .


A Cook's Tour

I agree with you that sometimes her "$40" just doesn't add up. On one show I recall she said, "And the owner gave me a tour of the kitchen and a free piece of pie for dessert!" I suppose if I traveled with a camera crew then I could also save $6 that way and still make my budget. ;)

Ahh, so she is the host of Everyday Italian. She's got a nice smile but what bothers me the most is her "old man" hands that you see during a close-up. It is sort of like that Seinfeld episode with Jerry's girlfriend who opened a non-twist-off bottle of beer but Giada's are really wrinkled like she's a lot older than she looks. I guess that could also be the sign of a good cook. :confused:

Agreed... Although I do like to check out her visits and reviews when we travel to an unfamilar city.

- RightD

:D :D :D

Her hands have never struck me as being overly manly...she's on at one o'clock today...I'll pay better attention!

Her hands aren't manly, they are just really old looking when compared to the rest of her. ;)

Giada is good looking, but she's too thin. She cooks all that great food, but she must never eat!

Never trust a skinny chef. :p

As for Rachel, I understand she's trying to showcase local restaurants, but if I'm looking to save cash, I'll fill up on hotel breakfast, skip lunch, and do dinner somewhere nice.

Then again, I remember when $40 would feed all of us for a week on vacation. But that's a different thread.

I think Rachael's FHM pictures came out in the spring. I have a love/hate thing with Rachael. She has so many annoying mannerisms, but the food she cooks on 30 Minute Meals usually looks pretty good. I just watch $40-a-day to see where she's going. The new season recently started. So far she's been to Cooperstown, Palm Springs and the Grand Canyon. Upcoming episodes will be in Bermuda and Key West.

Giada foods always looks good! And yes, she does have a big head! Ugh. Now I'm getting hungry.

I'm convinced she only got that show because she looks somewhat similar to Drea de Matteo ... a.k.a. "Adriana" from the Sopranos.

The company I work for has an average of $45 a day for per diem for food.

LOL..."man hands" :p I remember that episode! Wasn't she cracking lobster claws too?? :D

sigh.. i miss Seinfeld.

"The Bizarro Jerry" episode
 

A little off topic, but the episode was part of season eight so you'll have to wait quite some time before the DVDs are released.

Here are some quotes for you:


Jerry: She had man hands.

Elaine: [pause] Man, hands?

Jerry: The hands of a man. It's like a creature out of Greek mythology, I mean, she was like part woman, part horrible beast.
