My Compliments to the Chef!

There are many cooking shows on television these days. Some promote healthful, quick meals, and some show us how to make foods that are not good for us at all, just for fun. How do we decide what's good for us and what's not?

Your task is to watch a cooking show of your choice, either on TV or online. Take notes while you watch the show. You will write a review of the program including the following points: What do I enjoy/not enjoy about this program? What do I think about the chef, and why? Would I try this recipe? Why or why not? Is the food healthful, or not, and why or why not? Also comment on what the food is, what ingredients were used, and the chef's techniques. You must also include the title of the network, the title of the program, the name of the chef, and the date and time you watched it.

You should comment on each other's posts as well.

Date due: Nov. 3
