The new host for Top Chef Season 2 has been announced. No, it is now Cat Cora…although I did think that would be a great idea. No, Sara Moulton has not gained employment. The new host is Padma Lakshmi.
Known as the first Indian supermodel, actress and award-winning writer Padma Lakshmi joins the second season as host of TOP CHEF, introducing the challenges to the contestants and sitting at the judges′ table each week. Lakshmi is currently working on her second cookbook for Miramax Books due in Spring 2007, a culinary endeavor of over 150 recipes from around the world and intriguing personal memoirs. This is a follow up to her successful first cookbook, “Easy Exotic,” for which she won the International Versailles Event for best cookbook by a first time writer.

I have just watched Top Chef for the first time.
I am an amateur cook, and accidentally fell in here from the Food Network.
The show and its format are interesting, although I found it a bit tense and confrontational.
But the hostess, Padma Lakshmi, is devastating; she is one of the most exquisite creatures I have seen, and seems to have a lovely screen personality to go with it.
I am a figurative sculptor, and I would turn handsprings to have this woman as a model. I shall begin immediately to collect images of her, to make a sculpture.
