You would think that with a whole cable channel dedicated to food, that there would be all sorts of choices of cooking shows to watch, but I rarely watch The Food Network anymore. Even Alton Brown is wearing a little thin.

I'm back to watching PBS for most of my cooking shows, with a few non-Food Network cable shows tossed in.

Of course, just about anything by Jacques Pepin would always be on the list, so his current show, Jacques Pepin: Fast Food My Way is going to be on the list. I've also started watching Daisy Cooks! with Daisy Martinez for some new ideas for Latin American food, and Simply Ming for Asian.

I rarely bother to watch TLC, since I really don't care about their usual brain rot, and I discovered The Take Home Chef with Curtis Stone. He's a chef that finds some woman shopping in a Whole Foods, and offers to come home with her and cook her and her family dinner.

He finds out the sort of food the people like, puts together a menu in his head, and goes home with her and whips up the meal. At least half the time, he makes creates at least one dish that he never cooked before.

What are your favorite cooking shows that are currently on?
