Cook
I love Emirils personality, but he cooks to fancy for me. I prefer something I can fit into my budget and the average Joe can relate with.
I prefer whole food cooking, so little of anything from a box or can. That is not to say I don't use them, just rarely if ever. they do serve a purpose and I recognize that.
So I take form Rachel Ray, Sandra Lee and believe me, they have some great short cut tips and use them where I can. But Paula Deen, that women is a "No Holds Bar" type of cook. she uses butter, sour cream, mayonnaise and does not apologize for it. that is my kind of cooking and it doesn't hurt that I am from the south, so many of her dishes hit home for me.
But I mostly like to use these recipes if I can walk down my grocery store aisles and purchase the same ingredients. I don't have the time or the finances to be spending money on a cut of veal that costs me half of my savings account (You get my meaning).
But I get great tips and some cool recipes from ever show I watch. Just got one from Giada, that was a vegetarian pasta, and with only 5 ingredients. Now that is up my alley, and all under 15 minutes. Life is good.
