I'm a fan of the cooking shows on TV. My favorite is probably Good Eats with host Alton Brown followed by Iron Chef [now Iron Chef America]. I started quite a while back when Julia Child and Graham Kerr [The Galloping Gourmet] started me on cooking shows back in the 60's. I think I even saw some of the Yan Can Cook shows in the early 80's.

Magazines on gourmet cooking were also of interest and one of them was Gourmet the Magazine of Good Living. Gourmet just quite publication in November of last year but had a great run. As Beth Machlan says in her lament Gourmet: The Magazine of Good Living Is Dead, "Gourmet never talked down to me.". I felt as she does that "it felt like a kitchen I knew my way around in, while Bon Appetit always felt like a restaurant I couldn’t afford or just plain didn’t like."
