Giada really annoys me as well, I think it's the perfect plastic teeth and forced smile. Not to mention her awful American pronunciation of Parmesan. (Parmazhon).

That's the American bastardisation of certain Italian dialects - I know, it drives me nuts too! - especially when the general public pick it up as well. I'm expecting Tony Soprano to walk in and stick his finger in the "pasta fazool". I'm not a big fan of Giada either and wonder why she has a cooking show - I guess being a De Laurentis helps.

As in "Daddy I want a cooking show, buy me one"?

I tend to watch the british cooking shows rather than the american ones..they seem rather boring and thats why i love the british version of Ramseys kitchen nightmares compared to when he's in the american version where everything is so overdramatic and the editing makes situations look worse than they are..the british looks more honest..put it this way...Yanks 0..Poms 1.

I can't watch Bill Granger, why is it that everytime he speaks he pauses and gives the camera a big cheesy smirk? Most of the American cooking shows tend to bore me fairly quickly, they don't seem to get as passionate about produce as say the Aussies or the Brits. Have to agree with others though, 'Alive and cooking' and Huey in general are very commercialised and very bland.

Can't stand 4 Ingredients. Those voices and the recipes .. I don't know what's worse. Their recipes are blood pressure and heart attacks just waiting to happen.

I know it may be heresy, but Jamie Oliver's fat tongue is too thick for his mouth and that slupping noise he makes when he talks has me reaching for the remote, even though my wife promptly switches it back. hrrmph.

There has been a strong shift in the past two or three years to "reality" food shows. That means Master Chef ... that means all those horrid american shows about cake makers ... that means anything to do with Gordon Ramsay ... and a whole lot more.
Not a one of these shows adds any value to my dining and/or cooking experience.
Rick Stein, Nigella, Jamie, Hugh ... these are the characters that interest me and stretch my palate.
Please, please, please FoodChanel, return your programming to sensible, unsensationalised programming that allows your viewers to learn and grow as gourmands.

Anything with Neil Perry on it.
His recent sacking of a pregnant woman and having to pay her damages has completely wrecked his reputation.
She won her case of unfair dismissal and from what the catering magazines reported-rightly so.
Also Four ingredients. They never use just four ingredients and then cop out with a "serve with a salad!" and they both appear to be much older than they say which is confusing.

Adding Cake Boss and Ace of cakes to the list, one or two shows a week would be OK but the saturation level that they are shown now drives me crazy I have to turn them off , please back off on them a bit
