Alton Brown yo!!
He's the perfect combination of science and chef. His recipes are perfect bases to begin with. Cooking is ALL about how certain ingredients behave under certain heat applications, once you understand that you can cook anything.

Julia Child and second Joyce Chin. Both broadcast from KCET TV in the 1960's and 70's.

Julia rocked the skillet when most of you were pooping in your pants. :)

Julia Child, absolutely. She was the first, and she introduced a couple of generations to French (as well as other) cooking.

Julia Child was an interesting and adventurous person even before she took up the culinary arts. In 1942, she attempted to join the Women's Army Corps but, at 6' 2" was deemed "too tall." So she came to Washington, DC and joined up with William J. ("Wild Bill") Donovan's Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the precurser to the CIA. She became a researcher for Donovan, and later was posted to Kandy, Sri Lanka and Kumming, China. She claimed that these assignments opened her eyes to food and cooking that went beyond "opening up a can." After the war, Julia went to France where she met her husband Paul Child, who became a diplomat. It was in France that she took up serious cooking and never looked back.

We are all her beneficiaries.

Cheers,

Bill
