IF YOU DON'T LIKE FOOD, PLEASE DON'T HOST A COOKING SHOW
Oh, please.
At least it's for PBS. But in general, cooking show hosts should be comfortingly portly, like The Barefoot Contessa, outright fat, like Chef Paul, or else 6' tall, drunk, and horselike, with a hunchback - just like we loved our Julia Child.
NOT annoyingly brash with a 5' wide mouth like the monkfish in the above linked photo (Racheal Ray), anorexically pseudo-vegetarian (Gwyneth) and bobble-headed (Giada De Laurentiis - isn't that a disease?)
C'mon, people. If the ability to maintain an eating disorder is your only discernible talent, just stick with acting.
Er, ACT! with sticking.
