Rep Power: 2 | I think the network could use more ethnic diversified cooking but to make that an excuse for not making it to the end, wrong way to go. I am sure there are more spices that can be used than just turmeric to bring out they style or taste of that type of food. Maybe some culinary education might have taught her that.

Rep Power: 10 | Whether or not she thinks Food Network has a bias, she couldn't think that this would help her would it?

Rep Power: 10 | I agree. I have learned so much watching the food network and I could really benefit from someone showing me the best things I can make in my wok. | |

Rep Power: 0 | Well, Turmeric is extremely important in Indian cuisine. So I am with her there. That's sorta like trying to do something green curry with no eggplant.... And turmeric is the main ingredient of yellow curry.
And Nipa had a great chance to fill an area that FN lacks. Beautiful woman as well.
HOWEVER, in light of not knowing how to clean a fish, using a tiny piece just to comply with a test, and throwing away a good fish is totally unacceptable. | |
