The one that really got me interested, many years ago, was a PBS series, "The Frugal Gourmet". Italian food, that frankly, was still probably expensive to make, but it really reached out and grabbed me, as a teenager (maybe I was pre-teen).
"Good Eats"!!! Alton Brown is da man!!! Taught me bunches, in a way I could easily understand!!! Rumors of a spin-off coming back. I hope so, as I believe he has more to offer than a game show host (even if it is food related).
"Americas Test Kitchen" is awesome. They do some things differently than recommended here at times, and I rarely cook the recipes from the show, but I have learned much in the way of techniques and tricks that I do put into practice. I do use the ATK site to look up recipes on occasion, and have a full membership to the suite of sites.
Recently, I started watching "Now Eat This", with Rocco Despirito (spelling?). I don't know why I like this show so much. I don't cook his style of food, but still....I really enjoy this one.
I won't go into the shows/celebrities that I don't like (some I despise), as I don't want to bash anyone. I would bet some of these may show up in this list!!
