Sexiest Celebrity Chefs & Cooks

Sara might be a little quiet and sometimes seems a bit awkward even on her own shows, but don't let that fool you. Beneath that shy veneer is a dedication and professionalism you've never seen before. With that kind of devotion in the kitchen you know she values quality and loves what she does. And when she loves what she does, we score. Sexy for sure.


My party look...and...My business look

Ellie Krieger is all about healthy eating. She's the kind of girl who won't let you become a couch potato slob. And let's face it, guys. If it wasn't for our girls, most of us would be pretty useless. Ellie wants us to be conscious of our food choices and offers nutritious recipes that can make us feel great. Now that's a caring touch. Plus, she used to be a model, so she's automatically hot.




Get real, you. I will rock your world.

The Barefoot Contessa wrote the book on man-pleasing. Every time she makes a recipe, she asks herself how her husband, Michael, would like it. Even if he wants something as barf as duck liver, she'll make it and she'll make it damn delicious for him. Ina doesn't hold her punches in the kitchen; when she uses butter, she uses butter. The result may be a little heavy, a little fatty, but its 100% from the heart and it's good for you whether it's good for you or not. Now that is sexy.




He's right, y'know. I did write the book on man-pleasing.

Ray Ray is definitely sexy. If she's not cooking you a romantic date night pasta primavera, she's making homemade snacks for you and your boys for the Super Bowl, Nascar, World Cup or whatever. She wants to be into whatever you're into, and that's unbelievably hot. If you're happy, she's happy. And being happy is easy since she plates a new, delicious creation every 30 minutes. Plus, she's smart. How else could a girl of humble origins become a food mogul in a matter of years? She'll take good care of you. What guy wouldn't want to repay the favor?


Add a little EVO-omg...


I know I'm turned on...

Sunny Anderson has been described as the black Ray Ray, but her style is different. In Sunny's kitchen, things are pretty laid back. You won't see her running around at the Loony Toons pace we're used to seeing the white Ray Ray at. Sunny is cool and collected. Her passion is like a steady simmer that can reach boiling climax multiple times in a show. And on top of it all, Sunny is always giving off a dazzling smile. We might be watching her through a TV, but that doesn't mean we don't want to jump in her kitchen and give her a hand or two. Trust me, Sunny. We want to.


Come and git'it!


Who calls me the Black Ray Ray?

She's a newcomer to my radar, so I have to admit my opinion is based solely on appearances. But if I were to judge a book by its cover, I'd say she's a real page-turner I don't think I can put down.

Further research is forthcoming.

Iron Chef Cat Cora is the tigress no man can tame or resist. When we meet her, we're stricken with a strangely gratifying mix of savage desire and fear. Naturally, we are unsure how to act, frightened perhaps that our family jewels may end up in her purse somewhere between a checkbook and gum. On one hand, Cat is a very assertive, take-charge woman, and on the other, she is a sweet, sexy kitten. Looking at these pictures, we only see one side of the beautiful Cat. But make no mistake. Cat Cora didn't become an Iron Chef because of those fantastic looks. And she will slice, dice and mince anyone who says otherwise. Is that terrifying? Yes. Is that sexy? Yes.


If you stare real hard, you'll notice she's in a grocery store...


Hey, she doesn't wear pants to work, either?
I thought that was just me...


Don't worry, I won't tell anybody about the pants thing...

At the halfway point is Sandra Lee, our Semi-Homemade, Tablescape, Cocktail-Time goddess. You might think Sandy's meticulous sets reflect some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. You might think that her dressing up in outrageously sexy costumes for every holiday no matter how minor reflects some kind of sexual fetish. We're not here to argue the fine points. We're here to talk about sexy. And Sandra Lee fits the bill nicely. She has the biggest marshmallows in the kitchen, and you'll never see her shying away from putting them on display. As far as I'm concerned, it's always cocktail time, Sandy. Sexy no matter what.


Every day is Halloween when you have a Cher costume!


This kitchen set is semi-homemade, too. We bought most of it at Wal-Mart for $1.99.


Do you like my tablescape?

Here's another newcomer I will need to study further.

Aida is the new kid on the block. Of all the contenders for the kitchen's sexiest woman, she's the youngest. But don't hold that against her. What she may lack in experience, she makes up for in smarts and a dazzling smile. She has that elusive, girl-next-door charm that seems just within grasp. Her show is built on that premise, striving to make her accessible to anyone on the Internet who has a question about food. I've got one for you Aida. How do you like your eggs in the morning?


I'll shoot you with my spatula gun if you come any closer...lolz, just kidding.


Hurry and take the damn picture. I can't fake this smile any longer...


I really like the letter "A," don't you?

The competition is getting heated now. Ingrid Hoffman, or the "Mexican" Ray Ray, is our smoking hot jalapeño from Colombia. She will add color and spice to your life and have you sweating like a fat boy in a sauna in no time. As if she wasn't rrrrravishing enough, just listen to her accent. You have to admire a woman who is bilingual. There's something alluring and mysterious about her, something you will never fully understand. And that's enough to keep us wanting to know more.






Today's dish is lemon pie served with lime crrream, with a side of lemon.

From the Fighting Irish, we have CreateTV's Rachel Allen. I've only just begun tuning in to Rachel's public access program, but I am definitely tuned in. I will have to write more on the sexiness of this lucky charm in another report.

Yet another lovely lady of the ladle about whom I am woefully ignorant. But my mission is to make that change.

Hey, did your heart just skip a beat, too?. Padma is...she's...you know what? There's no need to explain why this is sexy. Pictures:


Here I am getting ready to cook...obviously


And here I am in my kitchen, hard at work...


...and at my dinner table, all alone, as usual...

Fan favorite Giada de Laurentiis checks in for the bronze medal. No one looks sexier or bouncier chopping green peppers and onions. No one. Giada is practically worshiped, always topping the lists of FN's Sexiest Women in polls around the Internet. But there's more to her than plain hotness. From time to time, you might catch her casting a flirtatious sidelong glance to the camera and that will certainly be enough to make you envy the dough ball in her hands. Sure, she might make ravioli practically every show. Sure, she might have gotten her ass beat by Rachael Ray in the Iron Chef celebrity chef showdown. Sure, some people say she can't really cook outside her element. But whatever people say, however much they poke fun at her, there will always be two big reasons to keep watching Giada.




Oooh, ooh! This is that time I got to talk about when I made ravioli!


Do you have any idea how many goats we had to slaughter for this sexy shoot?


5,000! 5,000 goats! 1200 pigs, an endangered walrus, and around 3300 chicke...He-llo-ooo! my eyes are up here, mister...

A supremely gorgeous woman if there ever was one. Nigella Lawson is not only the perfect shape, but she has the face of an angel. She will give you looks that get your broiler up to temperature in no time. There's simply no helping it. To watch her is to become one of her ingredients. And that means she'll melt you in a double boiler, mix you with exotic European chocolate you've never heard of, and slather you gently all over her sweet pastries. But that is just fine with us.






An essential part of my show is my being filmed eating my food. For some reason, the male demographic really seems to appreciate it.

And then there was one. Leaps and bounds beyond the competition is Paula Deen. This is sexiness in its most concentrated and highly refined state. In fact, it's so refined that it's unstable! Paula Deen is a family woman, and that is the sexiest thing of all. She's not only a crowd pleasing entertainer, but she has the good humor to poke fun at herself, something no other lady on this list can boast. And she'll love you to death. Seriously, you will die from her love because of all the butter she puts in her food. Your arteries will clog and you will die. But hot damn, you'll have lived like a king.


My butterlicious is IT, yall.


Y'know what, yall? This buttah is good, but y'know what it could use? More buttah! Hah hah hah!!! Mmmm...good.
