she just seems like the type to make you feel right at home .i would love an invitation to dinner at her house

OMGGGGGGGG I LOVE PAULA and watch her any chance i get. i dont care if her accent is overly exaggeratted and if her food would give her a heart attack.. shes a hoot.

This woman really knows her stuff. Can you imagine being invited over to her house for dinner?

I watch the Food Network alot. After seeing Paula cook her wonderful dishes, I became hooked. When she prepares a dish and then samples for taste, the viewer can almost taste the dish too. She's sassy, she's beautiful, has a super laugh and seems to have fun at anything she attempts. I would truly love to meet her one day.

Paula is so down to earth one has to dig down awhile to get to her level. This makes her program a joy even when she kills herself and us with calories and saturated fat. I believe that she is very skilled at country cooking and we all can learn from both her techniques and menu choices.

I am originally from New Orleans, but now live in Mississippi. This is the way we cook down here in the south. from new orleans, it was mostly spicy cooking and everything was with GRAVY!!now in Mississippi, everything is lapped in cooking oil!! i had to wipe the dust from the family treadmills and exercise equipment for us. we look at paula's show everyday. she has given me fabulous cooking ideas. way to go Paula!!! Loveya down here in da south girl......

YOU GO GIRL..... You are the best, My mother has always cooked southern. I have tried to eat other ways but they just don't last.... Southern cookig will always be #1 in our family!!!!!!!!!

myself being raised on southern cooking love this show. its much better than all the gourmet cooking shows i have seen, by the way do people really cook that, must be a yankee thang. the south will rise again. by the way i went to a very popular restaraunt near orlando, which i shall leave nameless, (BAM) and one slice of cake was 50 dollars, now i ask what would i rather have, paulas sticky buns or over priced piece of someones overexaggeratteddddd self worth, no contest

To those who are not use to cooking in the old time southern way~ Everything she cooks probably does seem fattening! But this is TRUE SOUTHERN COOKING AT IT'S BEST!! She is GREAT!

haha to the comment below! funny 'cause its true!

Good grief, this woman can make anything fattening. I saw her take a hotdog, wrap it in bacon, slather it in nacho cheese, and cover all that in coleslaw. Everything she makes is a heart attack waiting to happen.

I love watching the show. I get new idea's and helpful hints. Love the dogs in the kitchen makes it feel like my home. I can't cook without my dog under my feet.

Being a southern gal myself. I love the way that she adds that additional something to the recipe to bring excitement and fun to it. We do not have a lot of choices at the market, but just knowing the little things that should be on the self, can make a simple dish, an exciting one! Keep up the tasteful work, Ms. Paula!

Paula cooks food that I like to cook. Her recipes don't have a lot of ingredients that you can't find.

I have to say being a California boy, I was oblivious to what Southern cooking was all about until I discovered Paula Deen. I have never seen a chef on any program that is as warm and loves cooking as much as she does. I LOVE HER. Her quirky style and fact she just loves what she is doing makes her a lot of fun to watch. All I can say though is if you are watching your weight you better not write down her recipes lol.
