Food Network is now 24/7

I literally began spreading the news to (almost) everyone at work when the company's website informed us that Food Network and Life Inspired (channel 706) will split and have their very own channel! If you don't know already, these 2 have been sharing a channel since October 2010, and although I love switching to the other channel at 9am and 9pm (P/S - I work in Astro, if you don't know already), watching Food Network 24 hours a day makes it into my Top 10 best things of 2012.

I'm not much a foodie, but something about cooking and the host's kitchen makes my day.

Giada At Home also whips up classic everyday dishes, but her expertise is Italian cuisine - being Italian herself. Her trademark is over enunciating Italian words, like ree-sott-to (risotto) and the house where her show is staged overlooks the ocean (I'm guessing the Pacific) and her kitchen is all white. Like Barefoot Contessa, she cooks for family and friends and sometimes for a local charity or organizations she supports. Plus, her daughter is oh-so-adorable!.

Barefoot Contessa stars Ina Garten in her East Hampton, New York home, and the camera accompanies her trips to town for ingredients, harvesting fruits and herbs in her backyard and whipping up food for friends and family. Her dishes ranges from French cuisine (whenever you hear any French words that is) to classic everyday meals you have probably heard of, like BLT sandwiches. It also helps that her kitchen is white with a black counter which gives off the modern but still countryish feeling.

Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller shows that prepping food ahead will save you lots of time, even if it means cooking for the family after work. She prepares a whole bunch of food and store it for future usage, or using the same ingredients for lunch and dinner. Can't be too choosy if you leave work at 5pm and reach home 2 hours later (stuck in traffic and all sorts).
