Philip R @PhilipRoss Aug 3 Once upon a time, Food Network was the gold standard of culinary television—home to legends like Ina Garten, Giada De Laurentiis, Valerie Bertinelli, and Trisha Yearwood. Now, it’s handing the reins to Joanna Gaines, whose “cooking” show plays more like a rustic lifestyle blog come to life than anything resembling serious food content. Magnolia Table is all aesthetic and no substance. Recipes are basic, commentary is surface-level, and the energy is flatter than a forgotten pancake. There’s little culinary depth or inspiration—just soft lighting, neutral tones, and lots of “heart” without any real heat. It’s baffling that network execs let their actual culinary stars slip away, only to bank on a home renovation personality trying to pass as a chef. What has happened to this once-great network? Is this really the best they could come up with? See more 06/22/2022 I was so disappointed when Chip and Joanna left HGTV I was addicted to their Fixer Upper show; they really made that whole theme popular that set off an endless stream of great shows to follow. They just have such charisma together, it's like a 2 for 1 experience. I was always waiting for the next stupid thing Chip would do and Joanna was always the straight man of the two. When they created the Magnolia Network, I initially wasn't that thrilled with it even watching one of Joanna's cooking show I wasn't åll that impressed. Then one evening I began watching her cooking show one after another and realized just how much I was enjoying it without really realizing it. I began to pay closer attention to how natural and just pleasing to listen too she was like she was in your home talking right to you and just so casually listing the precise ingredients from memory while focused on what she is doing, but at ease like you are truely watching her in her own kitchen at home and I think that is genuinely her. The food she prepares for you is outstanding to watch her prepare and the end results. The special element is how it's all about her family with the kids helping, to stories of her Uncle and who doesn't like this or that is very cool. Not to leave out Chip from his cameo appearances doing an egg cracking contest to washing his hands in the bar of cream cheese. I'm hooked now. I can't wait to try some of her unique receipts too. They all made my mouth water! She truely is a good chef! She has the Pioneer Lady beat 'all to heck"! See more 01/30/2022 I love her cooking show. She is so real mistakes and all! I dnt care if she's monotone or goes slow for a person like me who likes regular recipes with real ingredients that doesn't cost a lot…sign me up! I love her biscuit recipes; I'm trying thm for a Mother's Day brunch with my sisters! See more 01/11/2022 Unwatchable. She is so deadpan that I think watching a mortician would be more entertaining..... See more 01/06/2022 Turned it off in 20 minutes. Trying to be to silly. No point in this first issue of magnolia channel. Wasted my time. Nothing like older shows even though Chip tried ti be funny in them. See more 12/18/2021 Horrible! Painful to watch. Stick to what works best to you, decorating ideas. See more Read all reviews
