Food Changes Daytime Recipe

By Anne Becker -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/19/2008

In an effort to keep its produce fresh, Food Network is changing its channel logo and rebranding its daytime cooking block, “In the Kitchen.”
The network logo, which has not been changed since 2005, will shift from being opaque to being translucent and will now overlay textures that symbolize the foundation for cooking creations—flames, embers, boiling water, ice, steam and light—or bold colors inspired by food—candy apple, tangerine, snow pea, blueberry and butter.
Food's instructional daytime fare is also getting a big makeover. The existing shows are all being tweaked: Rachael Ray got a new set on 30 Minute Meals, Sandra Lee is now cooking with home viewers on her Semi-Homemade, Paula Deen will cook more with her sons and other family members instead of alone on Paula's Best Dishes, and Ina Garten will help viewers throw cocktail parties, rather than just cook for her own friends and family, on Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics.

Well they knew they had to do something, or go down the tubes. We will have to see how this all pans out, who knows maybe there is hope for them after all, maybe they have been listening to what we say, you think ?

It sounds promising.

Rachael got another new set? She just got one for her last batch of new shows.

I'm sorry, but I gotta say this; Sandra Lee cooking with home viewers? She can't even cook and chew gum at the same time. Is this supposed to pick up where Sara's live cooking show left off? They should just bring Sara back.

I was perfectly happy with Ina cooking for her friends. Drat!
