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.

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.

2-02-2010 @4:02PM cg said... How the hell did Padma Lakshmi get first place. She isn't even a Chef. She is a food critic so they say. She is just a good looking host. Hmm I wonder why she is so secretive about who the father of her baby is. I wonder if it is one of the contestants thats been on the show. LMAO...

2-02-2010 @2:43PM Michael said... Of the ladies in the above article, I have only heard of three, and of those three I have heard of, I should say two of them(Cat Cora, Giada De Laurentiis) should stay away from where the frozen dairy foods are in the grocery store. That would be one heck of a mess to clean up with as HOT as these two bombshell ladies are........aaaawww, what the heck, although I haven't heard of her, put Padma Lakshmi in that catagory, too!! I think I need to drink some ice water to cool down now!!

2-02-2010 @2:42PM Puppie said... Paula Deen???? Are you serious??!!! lol
She's as fake as her 'southern' accent is!
And she does'nt even come close to cooking 'southern' style.
She cooks that same stuff that looks like puke-in-a-plate that alot of 'chefs' fix.
She aint sexy, she aint a southern cook...she just aint.
I always change channles when she comes on, I can't stand her!!

2-02-2010 @2:53PM pattyromeo said... I cannot stand Giada Delaurentis! Her mouth and head are WAY too big ans she is such a control freak, on her show, she never lets anyone go anything. I turn her off whenever she is on even tho the Food Network is my favorite channel!
