This discussion centers on the best resources and techniques for beginner cooks, emphasizing the superiority of PBS cooking shows over Food Network programs. Participants recommend specific cooking shows, such as "Great Chefs of the World" and "Good Eats" with Alton Brown, for their educational value. Key cooking skills highlighted include mincing, dicing, and glazing, with a strong emphasis on proper knife techniques. The conversation critiques popular chefs like Rachel Ray and Emeril Lagasse for their lack of culinary training and the perceived quality of their cooking methods.

Ohh, she's hot I watch her show all the time. Everyday Italian with Giada de Laurentiis. I like that show, and Good Eats, and 30-minute Meals.ek said:
Yeah, my mom watches that show a lot.

(I don't think I ever have). Something about her show "Everyday Italian" (?) seems kind of gimiky. I think it's the huge amount of production, namely the constantly moving camera and gratuitous closeups of the bowl of salt. It's a bit too glamorous for a cooking show, I think.
