Foodies who love to cook but are tired of the "wars" on the Food Network, give RECIPE TV a try. [View all]

To me cooking is something to enjoy, teach family, encourage each other. AND I have found a GEM: Recipe TV. Their descriptor is: "Recipe TV Featuring the World's Greatest Chefs." Wonderful, delicious show that takes you all over the world w/world renown chefs. My favorite is The French Pub w/a very kind chef from Normandy, France featuring fresh seafood, vegetables, fresh everything. Love this channel. On Cox in SoCal it's channel 114. Baking at Ballyknocken is another one of my favs on Recipe TV.

I know a lot of people enjoy "Pati's Mexican Kitchen" on PBS. This is similar. My husband and sister (both totally different personalities) both love this show and make sure to record it.

I just checked my Xfinity guide and it's there. badhair77 Nov 2023 #1

It reminds me a bit of that stupid ass, sadistic "You're Fired" show that used to be on TV. AnotherMother4Peace Nov 2023 #6

I agree with you. Nothing but silly Polly Hennessey Nov 2023 #2

It's a warlike, cutthroat mentality that has soaked into the pop food culture. It does not bode well. n/t Marcus IM Nov 2023 #3

I miss the Japanese Iron Chefs usonian Nov 2023 #11

Those were the best. Loved the awkward voiceover Japanese to English translations that couldn't convey Japanese idioms. Marcus IM Nov 2023 #19

I may be related to the translator/voice over. usonian Nov 2023 #20

Yes. It was really entertaining. Not too serious, but they did actually cook interesting food. Marcus IM Nov 2023 #21

I haven't had my TV on since June 2022 Warpy Nov 2023 #13
