I'm in the biz. I hit the library for new cookbooks 3-4 times a week. I love new techniques. I checked out Rachel Rays (I look like the Joker from Batman) book 365 No Repeats. What a bunch of garbage! Paula Deen is another one too. Overrated. They are "Family Restaurant" cooks who are a dime a dozen in every small city USA. Deen just wants to clog as many arteries and heart valaves as possible. Now see I respect some of the Food Network Chefs (Lieberman, Flay and the cute Everyday Italian woman have great ideas). But stop making it out to be so glam in a kitchen, show more Gordon Ramsey. Way too sugar-coated and makes it easier for these "Franchise Culinary Schools" to steal kids money. Show the real kitchen life: Criminal cooks, theft, loud music and loud banging, heavy drug and alcohol use, cursing, throwing temper tantrums, HOT and SWEATY cooks and chefs, 12-16 hours shifts, bad manners and crazy people! By the way-I love all of this (I don't take drugs though)!
