Well, I love to watch Antonio Caluccio. He may be based in London, but I'd 
hardly call him one of the TV Brit Pack. Like Nick Nairn, like the premise 
of Jamie but one CAN have too much of a good thing. Don't have cable, so 
haven't seen much of some of the others who are around.

>Delia Smith   - Total Babe. Great bod, well spoken, great cook. Nuff said.
Hmmmmmm.  Drake, while I love the implication that "great bod, well spoken, 
great cook", is a vital part of total babe, my mind just boggles at the idea 
of "babe" and "delia" in the same sentence. She's so, um, mumsy. I thought 
Nigella Lawson was supposed to be the current culinary incarnation of 
babe-ness. Domestic goddess and all that ...
