Chef at Home

I have a new Chef 'crush'. And this time it's Michael Smith. Here's his official website. Michael Dixon Smith is a Canadian chef and writer. He has been cooking professionally for over fifteen years.I first knew him for his TV show Chet at home. He also has several other TV show: Chef Abroad, Chef at Large and The Inn Chef. Michael Smith is an honors graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in New York.

What I like about him is the way he's able to talk about many things on cooking. Not just the ingredients but also the utensils, the history behind herbs, the easiest way to cut and other things. It seems to me that he has the real passion on cooking. On his TV show, Chef at Home, he cooks in his own kitchen in his own home. On the menu of the TV show, he always cooks for his family. So, he often has two kinds of food, one is for adult and the other one is a children's menu. It's always nice to see at the end of the show when he sits in the dining table with his family, just eating while laughing.

Here are Michael Smith's complete TV show:

• Host of Chef Abroad - host (2008 - present)
• Chef at Home - host (2004 - present)
• Chef at Large - host (2004 - present)
• The Inn Chef - host (1998 - 2000)

Chef Michael Smith can be seen in more than 25 countries. He is an award-winning cookbook author, newspaper columnist, roving Canadian cuisine ambassador and home cook. But Smith says his favorite role by far is Dad, at home on Prince Edward Island with his partner Rachel and their son Gabriel!
