Who in the World is Robin Miller?

I've been seeing quite a few promos on Food Network for Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller. It appears to be in the same vein as 30 Minute Meals and Semi-Homemade Cooking. I'm of the opinion that Rachael Ray and Sandra Lee are holding down the fort quite nicely when it comes to quick 'n' easy cooking and Food Network should find themselves a qualified chef for a vegetarian cooking show.

At any rate, Robin Miller seems normal enough in the promos, but a friend of mine saw the premiere episode the other day and reports that Ms. Miller 1) has some questionable sanitation standards involving poultry and 2) has Crazy Eyes, a la the Runaway Bride.



I probably won't be able to catch her show till the weekend so this afternoon I did some Googling to try to find more about this mysterious Robin Miller. She is strangely absent from FoodNetwork.com's Host and Celebrity Cooks page, but a short bio is listed on Food Network's Ad Sales website:

Robin Miller has 12 years of experience as a food writer and nutritionist. She earned a master’s degree in Food and Nutrition from New York University. Currently, she is Contributing Editor for Health and Cooking Light magazines and has regular features in many national publications. Miller is also the author of six books, including: Picnics (Clarkson Potter, 2005), Verdure (Clarkson Potter, 2001), The Newlywed Cookbook (Sourcebooks, 1999), The Daily Soup (Hyperion, 1999), Jane Fonda, Cooking for Healthy Living (Turner, 1996), and The Newlywed Cookbook (R&E Publishers, 1991). She currently lives in Arizona with her family.

Her books are listed on Amazon under the name Robin Vitetta-Miller, and it looks like they carry most of them. She has written quite a bit for Shape magazine, too.

It seems Robin Miller has the credentials, but is her show any good?
