looks like i found this thread a few months late... ah well.
i'll definitely echo the sentiments of those who enjoy the cooking-lady-triumvirate (<-- drunk spelling): racheal ray, nigella, and giada. i've made a number of racheal ray's dishes, and they've turned out damn good. nigella's don't really tempt me, but that doesn't stop me from watching. for italian, giada's fun to watch, but mario batali is the way to go. that man is damn knowledgable about the italian geography, culture, and cuisine - despite his large-red-hairedness.
