Amy Choon 1 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Been subscribing this channel for little over 3 months and loving it! Have always loved to cook so this channel is now my favourite! Chefs I like on AFC are Jamie Oliver, Laura Caldel, Michael Smith, Hugh Fearnley and some others I can't recall right now.... Watching them cook just give me that yearning to step into the kitchen once again! Which is impossible now as the house is still under reno... *pout* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Umaisarah 2 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Wanted to post it at my thread but am bringing it here. You know what, I recently saw some episodes of Coconut Coast and was so enchanted by the place that I'm now inspired to visit Kerala during the Dec hols! The host is this effiminate chef called Reza who speaks with a very crisp British accent. He reminds me of Kumar (without the Singlish), the way he flourishes his hands while talking.

Kerala is in South India, home to houseboat cruises..... oooh, i used to c this show on Discovery home & living where this lady (i can't seem to rmb her name) teaches familes to cook simple and delicious meals for dinner for the whole week....i find some dishes good too for us who works but want to have home-cooked food. Too bad my SIL decided to cancel DH&L so no more shows for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Umaisarah 2 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 I dun watch Iron Chef regulaly (found it to be too dramatic ) but the one I watched was the Jap version. Do they have the US version? Apparently it's huge over there. The host is Padma Lakshmi whom I oso caught occasionally at AFC and DTV. Very classy and pretty lady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
