TV Chefs, Far From Reality - New York Times
This New York Times article brings up an interesting point - a topic that I've been hearing about discussed in various conversation with more culinary inclined friends. The more a chef becomes a "celebrity" the further away from cooking they get. Rachel Ray is often the subject of criticism as she's never really cooked professionally other than on her shows and doesn't have a culinary education background. (She used to be a gourmet food buyer.)
But at the end of the day...these celebrity chefs are still laughing to the bank. Their fans are everyday people who don't care if they've had professional training. Regular viewers like these celebrity chefs as long as they're personable on screen and provide tasty, easy to follow recipes.
