Gourmet Next Door

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

AmyFinley.jpgAmy Finley, otherwise known as the season 3 Next Food Network Star, is finally on the air in her shw The Gourmet Next Door. I loved Amy on NFNS, and actually cheered when she won. So I was super excited to see this show on the Food Network today. For a first episode it was good, not great but good. The food looked tasty, and the dessert sounded especially yummy. I wouldn’t call the triple layer “Mocha Ice Cream Terrine” gourmet, but I would certainly make it, for a birthday party or something.

The biggest issue I had with it was the appearance. Gourmet food looks gorgeous, and most of all, finished. The use of plastic wrap to aid in getting the ice cream out of the loaf pan was practical, but not pretty. The wrinkles that were imbedded in the surface of the ice cream treat made it look… unfinished. If I were her, I would have covered the whole thing in nuts or cocoa powder or something to make it a little more polished. All in all though, not a bad show at all, and I will certainly watch again!!!
