Best Show or Series – Food – Instructional

Winner
Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen – Cooking Channel

The first time we caught this bizarre and glorious cooking show, we weren’t sure what we were watching. It’s like Julia Child was reincarnated as a fast-talking, tattooed, punk rock, heavy metal Italian princess with blender issues. And why hadn’t someone thought of that before—because it’s awesome!? Nadia G injects
cooking tips with an over-the-top demeanor that injects humor, personality and yeah… lotsa spice… into a tried-and-true instructional format. The occasional cut-aways to a goofy cast of characters who drive home her cooking points ups the fun quotient and makes this one of the most original cooking shows in recent memory. Go Nadia G!

ultimately infectious.

The Pioneer Woman – Food Network – Ree Drummond and her rustic kitchen breathe new life into the food category as she walks us through recipes on her Oklahoma ranch.

Who’s Cooking with Florence Henderson – RLTV – Honestly, we just love seeing Florence Henderson in anything she does. But who knew she could get us so excited about food? Take a break, Alice.
