Do they exist to teach us how to cook and encourage us to be more adventurous in the kitchen? Or to make us watch in awe and get on the waiting list for their restaurants, safe in the knowledge that we can never be as good as them because we can't afford livestock...

Because there weren’t enough culinary competition shows in the world, NBC has signed on a new one called, rather horribly, “The United Plates of America.” Produced by Magical Elves, who you know and love from Top Chef , it’ll feature a bunch of apparent newbies (“anybody can take part,” says the executive producer) competing to impress investors with their chain-restaurant...

This wok is well-made and attractive. (A far cry from the flimsy nonstick IKEA one it replaces in our kitchen.) It's solid without being too heavy, and while the handle is thicker than expected, it provides a good grip and feels well-balanced like a good knife. We've so far treated it lovingly - not using a metal spatula, washing by hand, etc. We use it at least once a week and it's holding up beautifully.Cheap...

I'm not quite sure what to make of Bravo's newest culinary competition series Chef Academy, which launches tonight. I'm a huge foodie and Top Chef might just be one of my life's main obsessions but I couldn't work up any appetite for the soggy and tasteless Chef Academy, which plays as a budget chain knock-off of the glossy and well-edited Top Chef. Chef Academy revolves around hotheaded French chef...
