Lizzie asks…
I would like the Food Network recipe for S’mores Brownies?
For some reason I have not been able to access Food Networks web page. I want that dang brownie recipe! lol Can you post it for me?
Nagesh answers:
Crust:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
Brownie:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
4 large cold eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
Topping:
4 cups large marshmallows
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.
For the crust: Lightly butter the foil with some of the melted butter. Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the brownie. Put the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir the light brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the melted chocolate. Add the eggs and beat vigorously to make a thick and glossy batter. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can go quick), about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from the foil and fold away. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.

Ruth asks…
how much help do food network chefs receive?
In the time that viewers can’t see, how much help do food network chefs receive? For example, before the show and during the commercial breaks.
Nagesh answers:
I agree with Gene and Dave, but Paula Dean is an overweight finger licking grandma, not a chef, and to speed things up in the time allotted they need the food to be pre-prepped, look at the credits on any show and see the food stylists, kitchen assistants, sous chefs etc, they receive the recipe and then ge the product ready, some that do simple dishes like Martin Yan and others, simplify things to a few ingredients to be prepared, plus like with Iron Chef America, it is staged and they compact it into an hour program.
Carol asks…
How did the Food Network get started?
I’m doing a research project on the “odyssey” (journey from beginning to end) of the food network. I don’t need you to tell me the whole story in one answer, but some good links would be nice.
thanks

William asks…
Where can i find torrents for food network shows?
I’m currently studying abroad, and i cannot access the food network, so torrents would be awesome. The pirate bay has a small amount of older episodes of some of these shows, but none that are really current. I”m really only looking for iron chef america, the next iron chef, and chopped.
thanks for the help.
Nagesh answers:
Stop using The Pirate Bay then. I’m looking at every single episode here up to Season 9, episode 21 on a private torrent tracker. And every single one of them is uploaded in both standard definition and 720p also. Join a private tracker and stop using trash like The Pirate Bay. Or learn to use newsgroups.
