The first cooking show I remember is Justin Wilson's Cajun Cooking ("Put in a bit a ca-ann peppa. I ga-ron-tee!") followed by Jeff Smith's The Frugal Gourmet. (Too bad I didn't realize that was who Jeff Smith was before voting...) Later on in was Martin Yan on Wok with Yan (later Yan Can Cook).

Shows these days don't seem to be as much about the cooking as it is about the flair and drama. I just want a good recipe that's quick and easy. Vegetarian would be a major benefit. Not that I'm vegetarian, per se; but when your SO is mostly vegetarian, that pretty much makes you mostly vegetarian. And none of my old recipes translate into vegetarian equivalents very well. (Hm.. Southern fried chicken? Well, I guess we could try tofu...)
