My favorite is Lidia Matticchio Bastianich on PBS. Maybe it's just that her
cuisine appeals to me the most?

Is there a way to explain it?

I don't know who said this, but I truly believe it...

"Never trust a skinny chef."

I've always hated that saying, anyway. What does someone's
metabolism/body shape have to do with whether or not they have good
tastebuds and cooking skill? Just silly, if you ask me (and I realize
no one asked me.)

Right, she's one that popped into my mind. I like her recipes. I'd be a
lot more inclined to dismiss her based on her life of priviledge than I
would because of her size, and I'm not really inclined to do that, either.

Who cares what they are? I evaluate them by what they cook and how annoying
they are to watch. Fat or skinny has nothing to do with it.

I was born big. I have to work really hard to control my weight. By the time I
was 12 I was bigger than my oldest brother who had almost 6 years on me. He was
always very trim. He has always eaten at least three times as much as I eat. My
next older brother eats a lot more than I do, and he drinks a lot of beer. It
isn't fair.

Nah, it's not. What's more unfair is how society will treat you because of
the assumptions they make due to your size.

I have chronic metabolic problems that make it nearly impossible for me to
lose a lot of weight. Though it was a long time before I got the diagnoses
that helped me understand it better. I had already gone through the pain
of being fat, feeling ashamed of being fat, and finally coming out the
other side to accept that I'm a fat woman and it's really ok for me to be
that (unapologetically). I'm so many *other* things, as well. Fat is just
one of the things I am, and it's just as wrong to focus on that as it would
be to focus on the colour of my skin or my religion as a my single defining
trait.

I'm willing to bet there's a whole lot more to you than bein' a big guy.
So tell me, what sorts of things are your favourite treats?

Hey, I'm a skinny cook and always have been. I love food, eating food,
preparing food, and enjoying food. I'm skinny and after all these years
nothing is going to change that but I'm still a damn good cook by most
standards.

I agree, she's got great recipes, but I honestly don't know how she
cooks. The idea that a good chef won't be skinny is probably urban
legend, but our best local chef is even larger than I am, which is a
real accomplishment. He's the best chef I've experienced and I don't
know why he's here in a small Kansas town. It makes me think the old
adage really is true.
