Couldn't have said it better myself ;-) Although I'm not a cooking aficionado myself (I hope to be one day, when I have one of those non-psycho jobs that actually has set hours and allows for a life outside of work), but I completely think the Food-tainment is ruining a beautiful art and past time. Hugs friend! Maybe Gourmet will resurface when the ad environment gets less ugly.Milltinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07893433444838594380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-69045081312138818722009-10-07T20:58:22.794-04:002009-10-07T20:58:22.794-04:00Sasha, that's the exact piece I linked to in this post! Great minds think alike :-)Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03948476830389001938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-66810786644634479862009-10-07T20:57:20.284-04:002009-10-07T20:57:20.284-04:00I haven't read the Salon article yet, but your return to the subject of the Food Network reminded me of this Michael Pollan piece in the New York Times Magazine where he writes about the dichotomy that is America's obsession with watching cooking/food shows on television, but not wanting to spend time cooking their own meals.

However, I have been loving all the blog tributes and can't wait to see what you and others decide to cook for the Let's Celebrate event!Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12984896547369166805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-11312036985602237032009-10-07T15:24:09.026-04:002009-10-07T15:24:09.026-04:00Great post, Maggie! I like the Salon article too. Ruth Reichl may get to sit at some elite tables, but she is NOT an elitist! Thanks so much for linking to the event!Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03307674052597624445noreply@blogger.com
