Alton Brown, the host on Good Eats, is the man. Unlike every other TV chef, this guy actually teaches you what he's doing rather than reading a recipe to you. If you havent seen his show, make it a date OR let your TIVO know about it! I swear that if you have even the slightest interest in food (who doesn't like to eat?) you'll be inspired to jump into your kitchen and kick some ass!
I've been watching his show for quite some time now. I learn quite a lot of new things every episode, from cooking techniques to how different ingredients react to one another. It's all very interesting stuff and it's really fun to learn. Well one day I saw an episode with this recipe and all I could say was "oh my god, that's the pimpest way to make grilled cheese!". It was inspiring enough to get me up off my lazy ass from playing World of Warcraft all day to making breakfast for my girlfriend and her family. It was the first time I ever cooked something from scratch on my own and WOW (no pun intended) it felt GREAT! Ever since then I've been venturing into my kitchen almost every day to cook up newer, better things. I found a new hobby and it really makes me feel great!
^^ and I know this sounds cheesey (again, no pun intended), but it really all started with watching Good Eats. Alton Brown is the freaking man.
If you like food, even if you hate cooking, I HIGHLY recommend giving his show a shot. It's fast paced, funny, and extremely informative. Also, its a good one to watch with a girlfriend and even your whole family
And there's my $.02
