The one name that is not on this list is Julia Child's, that peerless pioneer of television cooking who inspired entire generations of Americans to become homegrown gourmets. Her joyful sensuality was part of her allure: she set the mold for every woman on this list. We chose not to include her because sometimes genius stands apart. Julia Child's is sexy, just re-watch the way the woman eats a pastry, breaks down a chicken, or kneads a mound of dough.
And now, the heiresses to her throne ... these goddesses are so hot, they practically sizzle.

10. Paula Deen
Butter booster Dean is the Emmy-award winning host of "Paula's Party" for The Food Network and a restaurateur who co-owns Savannah's The Lady & Sons with her sons. This sexy, silver fox has a devilish twinkle in her eye, a saucy laugh, and a lust for life.

9. Katie Lee Joel
This critic and chef hosted the first season of Bravo's Top Chef and wrote the book The Comfort Table. She has a girl-next-door wink, and is a dedicated epicurean. A delicious combination.
Food Network
8. Sunny Anderson
A former catering company owner, she hosts How'd That Get On My Plate and Cooking For Real for The Food Network and in each one, she glows. Her enthusiasm is infectious, as is her honey-sweet smile.

7. Gail Simmons
An adorably serious judge on Bravo's Top Chef, she's a critic and editor for Food & Wine Magazine and is super hot because of her expertise, unpretentiousness, and grace.
Steamy Kitchen
6. Jaden Hair
She's a sexy food author and blogger who writes about global cuisine with passion and attitude. Check out her blog Steamy Kitchen or her book The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook.
Bravo
She didn't win the recent Top Chef, but she won many hearts. This chef means business in the kitchen, just ask her mentor, world-renown chef Eric Ripert. The more she sweats, hair pulled back, the sexier she gets.

Cheekily referred to as "The Queen of Food Porn" by the British press, this best-selling food writer, critic and broadcast personality has is one sassy vixen: she knows what she's talking about when it comes to food, and we're listening. And watching.

3. Cat Cora
She's an Iron Chef, a formidable cooking warrior. She's also a blonde bombshell, not to mention executive chef of Bon Apetit Magazine and a UNICEF spokesperson. Phew.

She's a the Food Network favorite, having hosted five cooking shows including Everyday Italian. And with good reason: she's fun, good-humored and stunning.

Calm, collected, and poised, the host of Bravo's Top Chef is possibly the hottest woman on television, period. Her regality is balanced by a hidden sense of humor, and both are complimented by her monster appetite.

She may be hot, but I find her horribly annoying. Especially since her stint on the Next Food Network Star when she hollered at a contestant for crying. Get a grip!

2-01-2010 @10:52AM Jay said... Giada has a very pretty face,but stunning? No way,her head is the size of a basketball!

2-01-2010 @10:46AM LC said... ... I don't spend much time in the "Food Industry" but my mom lives for the food channel and during a visit I fell in love with Rachel Ray! How can she miss this list. If I see her on TV or a magazine cover ... I take a look. What a wonderful combination of looks, sassiness and culinary abilities ... I'd let her make me dinner before I'd let any of your top 10. And I know a lot of guys who agree with me! Next time you're looking for a "hottest" list ... you should ask a guy! Never ask women what they think is hot ... you'll get a list like this!

2-03-2010 @9:16AM Greg said... Your numbers 1, 2 and 3 are right on. Padma is only challenged by Heidi Klum for THE sexiest woman on TV. So poised and polite yet you know there is a tiger under the veneer. No one can say "pack your knives better". Giada is a quality 2nd and Cora hot too. Sunny and Katie Lee could move up a notch.
