    Does anyone watch the barefoot contessa cookery show? I think some of her recipes look delish:P i am tempted to buy one of her books but can't decide which one:confused:
    I love that she does cocktails and table settings as well on the show:o

    UGH!

    All she does is make sandwiches and put 'sticks' of butter into things.

    My husband doesn't let me watch it, as I end up shouting at the tv :D

    The amount of salt and sugar she uses is shocking too! I'm all for flavour, but damn...

    I've been known to watch it :o

    To be honest, what with all the "healthy cooking" shows, it's kind of nice to watch a cooking show with a more indulgent angle. I like Nigella for that too.

    :owell there goes that idea...:o... i have to say one thing i find off putting about the show is the fact that she seems out of breath sometimes:eek: from cooking..
    I thought some of her salads looked good though and her cocktails:o
    What book would you reccommend for healthy, tasty, easy/quick meals:confused:
    It seems most chefs are really into their butter and salt...:confused:
