Rescue Chef new Food Network show
Do you struggle with cooking certain dishes? Do you need help with your culinary catastrophes?

Never fear — the Food Network has a new show to help everyday cooks with their kitchen dilemmas.

Starting March 1, the Food Network will premiere Rescue Chef featuring young British-born chef Danny Boome. In the first episode, Short Rib Rescue, Boome will show a viewer how to make perfect short ribs in a bourguignonne sauce to compliment his Dijon Mashed Potatoes and green beans. To complete the meal, he will make baked figs and mascarpone. Air time is at 12 p.m. ET/PT.

Though he is new to American cooking shows, he is a veteran of both Canadian and English TV shows.

For Rescue Chef, Boome will travel across America to deliver creative culinary solutions and basic cooking skills to save the day for a lucky viewer.

Boome has an interesting background. From semi-professional hockey player to working as an au pair, he has always had a passion for cooking. He started his training in 1999 in Switzerland. He later moved to Canada and trained at the West Wind Inn. He then attended the Grange Cookery School in England. His first job as a chef was at the Asia de Cuba restaurant in St. Martin’s Lane London Hotel. He then worked as a freelance chef working for the Estate of the Sultan of Oman in Paris along with other executives in England and Europe.

At least they're getting us a looker.

He is a cutie. Hope that resume is factual.

It's a long one.

I noticed in his commercials he's shown helping only young, thin, attractive women. I hope his shows will feature a wide range of humans and I'm saying this as a big, fat pregnant woman with limp hair. Tyler helped everyone. I think his biggest requirment might have been that the kitchen be large enough to work and to have cameras.

Also in the commercials Danny is doing an Austin Powers impression. Didn't everyone stop doing that five years ago? This really doesn't bode well.

I think that might be how he actually talks.

He is British.

I know exactly what you mean. There's a show on TLC called "Take Home Chef" with Aussie chef hunk Curtis Stone. The premise is he roams around in the grocery stores looking for someone to cook dinner for and they undoubtedly are always good-looking, slim, have a really nice car and great house. They grocery shop then he goes home with the cutie pie and makes dinner for her and hubby/sig other, etc. It got old fast so I quit watching but I must admit he was some excellent eye candy.

Since Tyler and 'Jack' continued with the "How to Boil Water" show, even though they totally revamped it, I don't know why they didn't just call this show "Food 911" and leave it at that. I wonder if some of the women on this show will flirt with him like they did with Tyler. Tyler always looked a little uncomfortable when they did and tried to ignore it.

You're right Jeanne, it's Food 911 without Tyler. Wonder if he gets a cut of this show, seeing as Food 911 was his creation.

I wrote in to be on it once. You had to put down your age and guess I was too old.

Anyway, I ended up asking the local butcher how to make the halibut and he gave me a great recipe. Besides, he was pretty cute so it made up for not having Tyler come to my house. (Well, not really, but he was cute.)

I watched this show for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. Danny Boome isn't loud and obnoxious at all. I didn't notice any catch phrases and he didn't do any funny voices.

In this episode he helped a woman to make her grandmother's chicken enchiladas. The woman didn't have a clue so the instruction was very basic, smashing garlic, grilling a pepper to remove the skin, chopping an onion with the cut-side down.

About half way through the show, Danny started saying okay twice in every sentence and then he couldn't pronounce anti-oxidants. The woman had to pronounce it for him. He laughed and said he'd already been in the booz they were using to make margaritas. I do believe he had!

I watched "Take Home Chef" yesterday...I want to to run into him at the grocery and come home with me!!! Looked like they were in L.A. for both shows that I saw.

It's a similar show, except you get picked up grocery shopping. Talk about having a great day!

I wonder what they look for. I'd probably check carts for lots of fresh ingredients because that person is interested in good food. And a person who is well put together probably has a kitchen that's the same way. But Berry Baby, you are such a good cook already they wouldn't be able to find anything to teach you!
