Barb, I don't know about an address, but if you get on their website, foodnetwork.com, there's a "contact us" link at the bottom right. While you are there, check out episodes by Ellie Krieger, she has/had a show called "Healthy Appetite". I also saw her at a demonstration in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and she was delightful.

Thanks, Annie, for taking the time to answer this. I always watched her show, but a lot of her recipes were not adaptable to just cooking for me. I have her cookbook. I like more of the down-to-earth everyday cooking, that my husband liked--you know the meat and potato stuff. Best wishes. Barb

ROTFL!! I'm with you, Mike. But my regular daily cooking is often about a treasure hunt for what's on hand. The only thing on your list that I have is barley, and I could make soup, or biscuits, or a mixed dish in the nature of couscous, out of that, staples and "refrigerator velcro" as Johnliu would say. I do enjoy the weird ingredients when they're actual food, however, like strange Asian fruits and fish from a Chinese chef. Nothing I'd eat, let alone cook, but skill is skill and I still learn something. I have absolutely no need to learn to cook with gummy bears. :)

I miss the days of Sarah Moulton on Food Network where she kept a recipe going while answering phone questions. Amazing! Nowadays, they didn't even give the finalists of their win a show contest a choice of format--they were only allowed to go to restaurants to talk food. Feh! There are actual cooking shows on Cooking Channel, but a lot of them are weird or very basic.

Barb, I found this address for Food Network: 75 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY, 10011 That's their studio location in Chelsea Market. The parent company is Scripps Networks Interactive, 9721 Sherrill Blvd, Knoxville, TN 37932

I saw that show on TV last night and enjoyed it. It would be nice to have more of those healthy shows.

Ellie Krieger was really good. Fortunately, Sarah Moulton and Jacques Pepin are on PBS.

Ree Drummond just uses too much fat in her cooking. Not everyone burns off enough calories to burn a cord a wood everyday!

We only have basic cable so no Food Network, but I like watching the "Jazzy Vegetarian" - Laura Theodore - on Create/PBS. You can find all kinds of these "healthy" cooking programs on YouTube. Just do a search - youtube healthy cooking videos - and be prepared to take notes ;-).

I like Chopped better than most of the cooking competition shows because even though it touches on personalities, it focuses mostly on the cooking, the ingredients, and what the contestants manage to make out of the oddball ingredients. Every other cooking competition show is 99% personality and 1% about cooking. Not every episode of Chopped is about healthy cooking.

Thanks, everybody. What a wealth of information. I really appreciate. it. I have been trying to get our local restaurant s interested in making the contents of their food available but they aren't interested in health. They are interested in money. Barb

Sarah Moulton is on PBS, and I think it's called Sarah's Weeknight Cooking. I remember her from years ago being on Food Network, and she was the regular chef on the Today show. She's still as cute and bubbly as ever.

Sarah Moulton is on our PBS on Saturday mornings.

Ironically, Sara Moulton was on a recent episode of chopped -- it was a celebrity chef competition. I liked her as well. And I do like chopped, because there is less artifice than in their other competitions. I do miss the Food and Cooking Channel shows that actually focus on cooking with real chefs (vs. personalities).

On the other hand, I've caught some episodes of "Giada in Italy" and it left me wanting more of the travelogue part, rather than her cooking ;) The villa they rented in Positano is amazing.
