Earlier I reported that the Food Network was spicing thing up with Ingrid Hoffman and Simply Delicioso. Well, it seems that everyone is jumping on the Latin cooking bandwagon as Rachel Ray will be featuring a Spanish food column titled “Mucho

I am very sad to find out that this amazing lady has passed of cancer. I had the pleasure of being hired, and work with this legend and for that I am thankful. I will never forget when she turned to me and asked me my zodiac sign. I cautiously answered “Aquarius”…and she quickly replied “your hired”.

Personally, I am a HUGE Food Network junkie. And although Latinos have been represented on the network by Venezuelan-born Ham on the Street host George Duran, the themes have never really been Latino focused. Aside from the occasional “taco dinner night” by Paula Deen or a “paella with a twist” by Giada De Laurentiis, there has never been any real “home cooked” Hispanic meals. Until Colombian-born and Miami-transplant Ingrid Hoffman was signed on. They recently showcased her at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in February; which has become a huge and pricey celeb-fest here in

According to Bob Tuschman, the Food Network’s senior vice-president for programming and production, Hoffmann’s success in Spanish underscores her appeal. He said the network was impressed by her take on Latin food. “Ingrid has a sparkling personality, a breezy way of making cooking approachable and a passion to take classics and give them a Latin twist,” he wrote in an e-mail.

I believe that although NBC played the role of unbiased media outlet, that the coverage was very vanilla and really didn’t get at anything important. I believe the reporting was a 30,000 mile perspective of what life in
