Children’s Books, Food Network Style

It’s no secret that I love The Food Network~ it’s right over there on my Blogger profile bio. I love it so much that I *nearly* wrote a letter to the network a few years ago, detailing why they should come up with a children’s cartoon called “The Little Chefs.”

*aka, did some thinking about it while looking at Mario Batali marinara sauce and having my little daughter tug on my legs at the grocery store*

That’s right, I wanted them to create a tv show with a 6-year-old Emeril Lagasse, Paula Deen, Guy Fieri, Sunny Anderson, Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, Mario Batali, and especially a 6-year-old Alton Brown. 

How adorable would that show be???  Little Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto getting into a playground fight with Little Robert Irvine.

Little Paula Deen getting upset with Little Bobby Flay for setting up a rival lemonade/fried chicken stand?

It still makes me happy just to think about that imaginary show.

Sadly, as far as I know (PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong), a cartoon version of Food Network chefs isn’t coming to your television anytime soon, BUT something even better is:

A CHILDREN'S BOOK SERIES BY GIADA!!

According to GalleyCat:
