is there any lady chefs on tv atm?

Rachel Allen

Angela Hartnett

Yes there ARE, not is.

I think their popularity depends on who you're talking to and what you consider a chef. A lot of the women on Food network, like Rachael Ray are NOT chefs by their own admission.

As far as the ones who actually do or have owned and operated actual restaurants or food related businesses and/or taught in culinary schools:

Anne Burrell

Giada DeLaurentis (a sham in my opinion someone else writes her recipes for her but she did go to culinary school)

Lidia Bastianich

Alex Guarnischelli

Julia Child (will be in re runs forever)

Ina Garten

Alice Waters pops up now and again

Kylie Kwong is still on in some markets

Feniger & Milliken had a show and still do guest spots

Rachel Ray, Paula Dean, and Giadda DeLaurentis are all popular cooks/chefs on TV.
