Not attractive to me.

I like Nigella.

Anne I would hang out with but not date or sleep with. She is to much like Mario Batalli in drag. Right down to the god-awful skirts and crocs. She would be cool to hang with though.

Giada has a head too big for her body and a mouth to big for her head. I can never shake the impression that she is part shark.

Ingrid Hoffman  
Nadia G  
Nigella  
Claire Robinson would be my choices.

I might do Rachael Ray. I met her in person, she is a least toned down some when she is not “on”, either in a live appearance or camera.

She looks like Mr. Heatmeister’s sister.

Love the way she cooks but those cankles make her undateable.

In the ‘other’ category I would sure like to take Laura Calder out to dinner.

She’s not pretty, and her hair is actively ugly, but there’s something about her. She’s a passionate woman. If she slept with you, she’d be up for anything and everything. She’s not a “lie back and think of EVOO” type. And the things she could teach you…

So true of Giada… she’s practically a bobble-head.

But consider: Robert Irvine has a head that’s way too SMALL for his body. If he and Giada reproduced, their child would have a perfect-sized head.

If she survived the conception.

Okay - [here’s](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rachel-kramer-bussel/nigella-lawson-food-porn_b_1153133.html?ref=celebrity&ir=Celebrity)a recent HuffPo piece which features a photo of Nigella on the cover a UK magazine with caramel dripping down her face. The HuffPo piece is trying to discuss whether the photo is “food porn”…

That’s not double-entendre, that’s single-entendre.

Never heard of her before. A Google Images search leads me, very shallowly, to decide that no, she’s not my type. Rachael Ray, on the other hand, is pretty yummy.

That is so…so…untrue.

I’ll lick all the caramel off Nigella, if she wants.
