Title: Still a mystery to me ...
Product review: Emeril has to be one of the worst chefs on television. He is clumsy, sloppy and wasteful. Almost all of his dishes from his live shows are already made by someone else. He has the basic cooking skills of a 13-year old. And not to mention all those tasteless jokes. Yet, he is popular as ever, every time I turn the channel to food network, and there he is, bamming away for another hour. His popularity is a mystery to me; perhaps he makes average homemakers feel comforting because if he can become so famous with such poor culinary skills, so can anyone. Give me chefs like Jacques Pepin, and Jacques Torres, watching their shows, you will know why they are the "professional" chefs. And you will definitely learn something. If you want to know the basic hows and whys of cooking and have fun with it, pick up a copy of Alton Brown's "I'm Just Here for the Food". As far as Emeril's book goes, it is more about how much he loves himself than how much he wants to teach you.
