Who is your favourite celebrity chef and would do you like them? Why would you recommend them and what is the best recipe of theirs that you have done that you think is a must to try.
I must honestly say I have not narrowed down my favuorite yet - i poaxch recipes from so many that I can not pin-point any one as a favourite.
So tell me why I should check out your favourite chef and where can i find them?

My absolute favorite is Guy Fieri. He is so cool plus he's handsome! I like his cooking show, Guy's Big Bite because he seem so much like a regular person except for the being so cool part. And I love his show, Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. He's funny too and that's important.

Oh, I tried a Paula Deen recipe for Beef Stroganoff that uses Cream of Mushroom soup and it was delicious. I'm not a big Paula Deen fan (I mean she's okay) but some of her recipes are super yummy!

Celebrity cooks aren't worth a pinch of salt. It's all marketing and packaging. They're like fried rice, no substance and they only satisfy for a few moments.
But if I had to pick one, Jamie Oliver.

I have several favorite celebrity chefs. I like Taylor Florence because I like the stuff he makes, and he is very good about explaining things, I also think he is cute. I like Rachael Ray because she is a cutie pie, but her food is kind of simple, and mostly burgers, I love Paula Deen, I think she is my favorite because she is isn't afraid to use butter, I love her accent and her food always seems like it will taste sooooo good.

I have only heard of Rachael Ray - so I will have to look the others up and see. I have only seen a few of Rachael Ray's recipes on Oprah and they did look very easy to follow. I also watched a clip of her show when Michelle Obama ws on it that was nice. I will definitely check out the other two.

I like Bobby Flay and Jamie Oliver. Honestly, I could just sit and listen to Jamie Oliver talk all day. I love his accent.

I know Jamie Oliver and have tried some of his recipes. I won one of his cookbooks but I have not really used it but I will be soon.

Does Gordon Ramsay count?
Seriously, I like Gordon Ramsay and Mario Batali. Both of them are very passionate about what they do. They have very high standards (in Ramsay's case, probably impossible standards. lol ), but this only proves how dedicated they are to cooking. For me, it's hard not to admire them.

I know who Gordon Ramsay is - I have never tried any of his recipes but I have watched his programs the who where he turns people's restaurants around - that is really good and then there was one around christmas time where he had live turleys in his back garden. Cant remember what they were called though...

I think the best celebrity chef would have to be Jamie Oliver, he is very passionate, and gives back something to the community.
Any chef that cooks simple everyday meals is great to watch also.

Yes I know Jamie Oliver - just remember watching him do chicken and he threw in garlic cloves amongst other things into the pan and since then I do that too when roasting anything - the flavours are really absorbed by the meat/chicken.
