On PBS, I really like America's Cooking, or whatever it's called-- it's from the kitchens of Cooks Illustrated magazine (a magazine that I really like) Chris Kimball, the host, is a typical New Englander, very very dry, but he's not bothersome. The recipes are easy to follow, and I love the best of things that they do - with canned tomatoes, canned chicken stock, stuff like that -- they'll tell you what is the best - it's kind of like the consumer reports of cooking.
