He wasn’t on Food Network, but I remember watching Graham Kerr–aka The Galloping Gourmet–with my mom. That was probably back in the early ’70s. We always loved it when he messed something up. What a sense of humor. I also really enjoyed Justin Wilson. That’s probably the only cooking show I’ve ever caught my dad watching.

Good memories.

Thanks for that tip about the onions. Usually they don’t bother me, but if I get a troublesome one, I”ll give that a try.

Yes, Jacques with his daughter is just precious. I remember one episode in particular in which his daughter was wanting to lose about 5 pounds before going on a beach vacation and he cooked a really lean corned beef brisket with veggies — and Jacques said more than once during that episode, “I think you look just perfect and don’t need to lose any weight.”

Jacques with Julia Childs is entertaining to watch, too.

I really loved the Jacques Pepin series with his daughter. They made some really tasty looking dishes, and were just really nice together.

Well, Sarah said to run them briefly under cold water and then dice them, and it worked for me. But I’ve also since read to get them cold in the freezer (but not frozen) and then dice them. I haven’t given that a try.

Yes, Justin Wilson would get on my nerves at times with his stories, but he made some really interesting dishes (although some I just wouldn’t touch).

I loves watching the cooking shows on PBS. “America’s Test Kitchen” is good, and I like Jacque (sp?) Pepin, as well — I especially enjoyed the shows he did with his daughter.

I guarantee that I remember Justin Wilson, too.

And just how does one dice an onion without tears?
