The television series was Amy's prize for winning the <a href="http://yumsugar.com/tag/next+food+network+star" rel="nofollow">Next Food Network Star</a> and debuted on Food Network about six weeks ago. After watching a few episodes, I can't help but wonder why this woman has a cooking show. She's nervous and uncomfortable in the kitchen. She comes across uninformed because she doesn't mention measurements. When she spills ingredients or burns a dish, she ignores her sloppy mistakes. </p> <p>On the other hand, her recipes are interesting and scrumptious sounding. I may even give her Moroccan chicken stew a try. Still, a successful cooking show is about so much more than good recipes, right? What do you think?</p> <p><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_af/text/0,3175,FOOD_30358_64765,00.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Source</a></p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/848100" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>The Gourmet Next Door: Love It or Hate It?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-848100" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-848100" name="edit[choice]" value="0-848100" class="form-radio" /> Love it</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-848100" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-848100" name="edit[choice]" value="1-848100" class="form-radio" /> Hate it</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-848100" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-848100" name="edit[choice]" value="2-848100" class="form-radio" /> Undecided</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-3-848100" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-3-848100" name="edit[choice]" value="3-848100" class="form-radio" /> I've never watched her show. </label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="848100" /> <span class='button'><span><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="epoll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.yumsugar.com/848100#comment poll Food Network Love It or Hate It nfns 3 amy finley The Gourmet Next Door Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:18:59 -0800 partysugar http://www.yumsugar.com/848100 http://www.yumsugar.com/572009 <a href="http://www.yumsugar.com/572009"><img width=148 height=160 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/users/1/15259/35_2007/amyfinley.large.jpg'></div></a><p><span class="inline left"></span>Season Three <a href="/tag/next+food+network+star" >Next Food Network Star</a> winner Amy Finley's <a href="http://tvfoodfan.blogspot.com/2007/08/amy-finleys-new-show-that-didnt-take.html" target="_blank">new show will start airing Oct 14</a>.
