Sad. She managed to come across as strong but kind.

A large personality, I liked her a lot. I'll miss her.

Oh! I used to enjoy her TV show a lot. That is awfully young :-(

I just posted one of her recipes on the Summer Salad thread - the Raw Asparagus Salad. I never watched her, but one of my friends brought that salad to a potluck and attributed it to her. Sorry to hear about her death.

I also heard about her death yesterday, and I did not realize that she was that young. Too bad that she was on such a bad show - I never watched more than two minutes of it (i.e., Worst Cooks in America) - it was too difficult to watch, and the title alone was enough to turn me off.

I do intend to try the raw asparagus salad - I've always loved raw asparagus. I like simple recipes, and so I will look at others of hers.

Very sad to hear about her death - it was a bit of a shock.

I made meatballs yesterday, but it was based on an ATK recipe that I improvised.

Like Lars I didn’t have much use for her Worst Cooks show, but she spread herself well across FN and I always found her to bring a fun vibe. Just saw her on an episode of Beat Bobby Flay the other night.

I shared my little Anne Burrell story elsewhere yesterday:

Years ago on one of her shows she either peeled off an extra layer of red onion or instructed someone (a worst cook?) to do so, saying something like, “We only want pretty ingredients.” I always think of her when prepping red onions, as I inevitably get conflicted deciding how much to waste.

It sounds like Anne’s death might have been cardiac arrest. Whatever the cause, it sounds sudden and unexpected.

I never watched Worst Cook in America. The sound of it never appealed to me, along with some other shows Food Network throws together.

I didn’t know of her. I looked up some videos, interviews.

Very rich foods, look delicious, but high in saturated fats and sodium. My guess is that she died from a massive coronary. Sad. Only 55 yo.

I watched Worst Cooks. It was played for laughs, while teaching kitchen basics. The contestants were mostly people with lack of focus who had previously not tried seriously to learn. I always pick up little tricks from the competition shows, even that one, much moreso than the supposedly instructive shows.

Aw, so sad. She had just posted, a few days ago, walking through her neighborhood....How life was good and "i love my life and what i do for a living".

She just spent time, a few weeks ago, with Andrew Zimmern in Puerto Rico....long time friends.

Newly married 2022.

Will not know what happened for a week or so. Difficult to speculate if she fell or had a medical issue not noticed.

I liked her show, something like 'secrets from a restaurant Chef' or something like that. Did not know it had 9 seasons. I saw a few. Comfort food. But she covered and talked through the entire meals and washed hands, walked through the 'why' what she did about setting up mies-en-place....yada. Prepping ahead like restaurants do. Make it fun and easy. How to spoil your family and friends without stress. Cooking should be fun and diss the off timing issues, don't sweat a minor failure. Spending time with friends and family are more important than excellence. It will be good learning a few basics.

I have a few Chefs on my shoulder when i cook. Marcella, Jacque, Julia, etc. Not all at the same time but they all contribute helpful hints.

She appeared to truly love cooking and sharing with others.

Clearly a passionate person. Very sad.

I didn't watch Worst Chefs...I just couldn't understand the premiss and I've known some pretty horrible cooks that didn't make it on that show, lol. But I was more aware of her years ago on a Cooking Channel or HGTV show, kind of at the height of GOOD cooking shows on TV and I liked her a lot.

I will miss her , RIP . i always enjoyed her guest appearances on various other shows, but her secrets of a restaurant chef was a favorite. She was smart, fun with her colorful language, and offered approachable yet interesting recipes.

This was my goto roast chicken for awhile, from 2008 ! was a fun challenge to flip the bird over for browning

Sweet interview with BobbyFlay ...Huffington Post.

His Nacho Maine Coon passed away a couple years ago, seems suddenly.

A y-tube video i just watched had a thorough walk through her home. Vibrant, fun, personal,...sad when passings are sudden and unexcpted. Her home must be so empty without her.

I haven't watched Food Network in a long time but I liked her. As a black pepper addict, I always thought it was odd that she never used black pepper. Even in that clip that Petalique posted. Always wondered why, but I never saw her discuss it.
