That's Vegetarian Has Moved!!!
No more Long Beach, CA. Now the Big Apple!!! And what a change it is.
During
my transition, I was watching a fair bit of TV, cooking shows to be
more exact. My first sublet had cable TV which I haven't had for years
and once the digital transition happened, my rabbit ears didn't work as
well so there went PBS on Saturdays.
There
were many that were great. And all too many more that were just nasty.
One thing I realized, they all had these nice user-friendly kitchen.
Well, mine here in NYC, not so much. My kitchen is WAY WAY smaller for
one and I didn't bring all my nifty kitchen gadgets with me. That means
there is a bit of a redux going on. Barebones cooking and baking in a
barebones kitchen with minimal space and still healthy? YES it can be
done and I'll show you how!
I
also ask for you to bear with me as I figure out the technical aspects
of the show. The space is different and not as bright as my last place
and I switched sublets once already. It may take a few episodes to get
it all together. The recipes will still be delicious!!!!!
I wanted to share the cooking shows I really like and why.
I seriously fell in love with Alton Brown's Good Eats.
I know we've all seen him on Iron Chef and have watched him somewhere
through the years I am sure. This was the first time I watched many many
episodes in a row. I like the way he incorporates science and whys into
his show. Plus it is entertaining. Old episodes are on Cooking Channel
TV (Cooking Channel TV - Good Eats) and Hulu (Hulu - Good Eats) too!
America's Test Kitchen has always been a favorite with Christopher Kimball and his team. (http://www.americastestkitchen.com)
My roommate and I would sit around on Saturday's and watch on PBS. It
is unbiased, factual, and full of good recipes and information. They are
actually funny although in a dry way most of the time. This interview
of them is amusing too. (Cookbook Forum)
Jamie Oliver has many great shows. (Jamie Olivers' Food Revolution, Cooking Channel TV - Jamie Oliver Bio)
He promotes healthy eating and getting to the basics. He has been
working internationally promoting healthy eating in schools. He has
numerous shows and cookbooks available.
Chuck's Day Off
is based out of Montreal. Chuck Hughes has 2 restaurant is funny and
makes good food using good ingredients. It is a fun creative show to
watch. He is just so down to earth. It is great. (Cooking Channel TV - Chuck Hughes Bio)
Giadia
de Laurentis was not high on my list when I started my adventure only
to find out she is a well-trained knowledgeable cook and not just a
pretty face. (Cooking Channel TV - Giada de Laurentiis Bio)
