Hottest cooking show hosts

We eat a lot of junk food, as you could probably tell from our Top 50 Candy Countdown, but what really makes our mouths water is hot food, or rather hot women who host shows about cooking hot food.

We used to think cooking shows were for chicks and featured only women like Julia Child (blech), but then a girlfriend made us watch Giada De Laurentiis' Everyday Italian, and we realized that genius network heads had started hiring hot chicks in low-cut shirts to spice things up.

From Alain Ducasse protégé Cédric Grolet and part-time Hermès model Roze Traore, to Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski, Salt Bae and The Donut Daddy.

We've had an insatiable appetite for foodie television ever since.

This week, two of the hottest and most renowned hosts celebrate their birthdays: De Laurentiis' born day was Sunday and Rachael Ray blows the candles out on Wednesday.

These Food Network stars are just a couple of the women who keep us tuning into culinary programs. But don't take our word for it—just keep reading to taste-test the 20 hottest cooking show hosts...
