Top Chef

I have to admit I don't cook. It's much less stressful for me to go to a restaurant or pick up something pre-made at the grocery store; however, I am completely hooked on cooking shows and competitions. I would love to be able to make the creative dishes I see on tv. Maybe someday soon I’ll take a cooking class, but in the meantime, I’m content to read books by chefs and to envy the skilled competitors on my shows. My favorite cooking show is Top Chef, and the 10th season was my favorite because it took place in Seattle.



 

The finale aired last week. Did you watch it? Are there other cooking shows that you prefer? Sno-Isle owns books by each of the Top Chef judges--Tom Colicchio, Padma Lakshmi, and Gail Simmons--as well as the new book by Richard Blais, winner of Top Chef All Stars.
