Have you guys been watching the Next Food Network Star?
I am not a huge fan of the show, but this season has me hooked…
I sooo want to try her recipes (not to mention those super cute hair accessories).
She makes me think I have totally misjudged this type of food… perhaps after just one trip to India Garden and that bad incident with a chicken bone (which we won’t talk about)– I didn’t exactly give Indian food a fair shake?
Weeks ago I thought they should just stop the show now and give it to her.
She is like a younger Paula Deen with an Indian spin and a little less butter.
If they mess this one up and pick someone else, it would be a shame… just sayin’
Turns out, she is a food blogger at Aarti’s Paarti and has a YouTube internet cooking show (see below)…
Where have I been?!?

July 26, 2010 at 11:31 amI've watched a few episodes that a friend DVR'd for myself and my daughter. It has been interesting to watch! I love Aarti though!
Stopping by via Mingle Monday! 😀

July 26, 2010 at 2:11 pmI've had two Indian meals in my entire life. One was in Cirencester, England and was fantastic! The other was in Minneapolis, MN and was…um…unimaginative and tasteless by comparison. I guess the moral of that story is it's about time to return to England!

July 26, 2010 at 2:22 pmGood Morning Cris!
No…I haven't been watching Food Network. I rarely watch t.v. anymore, just movies.
I LOVE some Indian food. Remember when I made Indian Chicken with all the herbs and spices from the gift that my friend brought me from India? It was delicious!
Home cooking is always better anyway, so you should give cooking Indian food a try 🙂

July 26, 2010 at 3:50 pmI'm neither a Food Network fan or a real foodie (for me, cooking progress peaked with the creation of pre-cooked bacon…mmmm, bacon…) but since it's Mingle Monday, I thought I'd contribute my $.02 and give a shout to Paula Deen. We're vacationing in Hilton Head this week and can't wait to go to her restaurant tomorrow!

July 26, 2010 at 4:53 pmThis is my first season to watch The Next Food Network Star. I like Aarti too, but I think Brad is my favorite. Him, Aarti & Herb are my top 3. I have last night's episode DVR'd. Hope one of those 3 didn't go home 🙂

July 27, 2010 at 12:12 amI've been a big fan of the food network for many years, but just never got into this show. I did watch the first couple of episodes as a friend of a friend was on it. I think his name is Paul. Anyway, I didn't notice this gal but will have to check it out. I actually have had a lot of Indian cooking and still don't like it. Not into those particular spices, unfortunately. 🙁

July 27, 2010 at 1:37 amI'm hooked on Top Chef. The show sounds interesting but watching 2 cooking shows might make my non-cooking brain explode.

July 27, 2010 at 2:22 pmI haven't seen it…yet! We have an Indian restaurant in town that I love to go to as long as the food is on the mild side!
