All the Kitchen Aids I remember seeing in person have been that garish
red. I pay so little attention to the boob tube that there may have been,
indeed, probably were, other colours shown on Emeril, Rachel Ray, David
Rosengarten or the Too Hot Tamales sets.

One of my favourites, back when I was watching TeeVee was David
Rosengarten, host of Taste, he took a deep dive into a different food
every episode.

My other favourite show was the Two Fat Ladies.

     Title: Two Fat Ladies' Scallops w/Leeks
Categories: Fat ladies, Seafood, Wine, Dairy
     Yield: 3 Servings

    12    Fresh sea scallops on their
          - shells
     8    Young leeks
     4 tb Unsalted butter
          Salt & fresh ground pepper
     2    Shallots; minced
   2/3 c  Dry white wine
   1/4 c  Dry vermouth
   2/3 c  Heavy cream
     1 bn Parsley; flat-leaf, chopped

 Remove the scallops from their shells or ask your
 fishmonger to do this. Separate the white flesh from the
 roe (if still there) and detach the hard skin around the
 whites and the tiny black sac from the roe. Wash clean
 under a running tap. Halve the whites horizontally. Leave
 to dry off on some paper towel.

 Wash the leeks and discard the green parts (you can use
 them for soup or stock). Slice the white stems lengthwise
 into narrow strips about 2 inches long. Place in a
 saucepan with 2 tablespoons of the butter, a pinch of salt
 and 1/2 cup of water. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
 Keep hot.

 In another pan, melt the rest of the butter and then
 gently cook the shallots until they are soft. Add the
 wine, vermouth and the scallops, with their roe if
 available. Bring just to boiling point, then turn the heat
 very low and simmer for exactly 2 minutes, or less if the
 scallops are small.

 Remove the leeks from their liquid using a slotted spoon
 and place in a heated dish. With the same implement place
 the scallops on top. Add the leek juice to the scallop
 juice and boil briskly until the liquid is reduced to 1/2
 cup. Pour in the cream, bring back to a boil, and bubble
 for a moment or two. Season with salt and pepper. Pour
 over the arranged scallops and leeks. Scatter the minced
 parsley over all.
