Food Network's hot August

Armchair chefs, take note: The Food Network is serving up three new series in August.
On Aug. 2, Aida Mollenkamp hosts "Ask Aida," an interactive cooking show. Viewers ask Mollenkamp cooking questions, which she answers during the broadcast. The first show's theme is outdoor grilling. Other segments will be on steak, pie and eggs.
On Aug. 20, "Dinner Impossible" premieres. The series stars chef Michael Symon, who takes on culinary challenges to serve dinner before time runs out. The challenges include scenarios such as creating a kosher meal for a congregation or serving 300 fans and musicians at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Aug. 30 is the premiere of "The Cooking Loft" with chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli. The chef invites students into her cooking loft to learn restaurant secrets. Each week, she breaks down food topics such as pasta, turkey and holiday cookies.
Also, "Iron Chef America" returns Aug. 3. The Kitchen Stadium is the stage where challengers are pitted against "Iron Chef" Masaharu Morimoto as they create dishes using the secret ingredient.

I watched Aida, I thought it was okay and probably will get better as it goes on.

She was offered more shows but turned them down. She felt rather picked on across the web and just didn't want that kind of life I suppose.

You are a sweetheart to research this for your mother-in-law. She is truly blessed to have someone like you.

Join in the discussions. We'd love to have you!

The Cooking Loft commercials have been on. Looks good so far.

Now that's one of the new show I do want to watch.

Looks interesting, sorta reminds me of the show they had on for awhile Cooking school ? where they brought in people in a class and had them each cook different parts of a dinner,also showed the drink or wine to go with it. The only thing was there were too many things going on and they kept jumping around from one to the other. I hope this one shows more of the actual prep and cooking. I did not notice till I was reading the post but how dare they call us arm chair chefs, I for one spend most my time in the kitchen and am cooking when I am watching the shows. I do not know about the rest of you but they insulted me. What do they think we do sit around and just watch these shows, guess that how much research they put into it. At least it wasn't the network making that comment.
