  2. Rachael Ray

    Rachael Ray

    Easily one of the most recognizable female chefs on television, Rachael Ray currently hosts four different food shows.

  3. Nigella Lawson

    Nigella Lawson

    No sexy chef list would be complete without the "queen of food porn." Sexy is just part of her style. In fact, it almost makes us forget she has zero training as a chef.

  4. Giada De Laurentiis

    Giada De Laurentiis

    Giada De Laurentiis has already been voted one of the "sexiest moms alive." Why not sexiest female chef, too?

  5.  Padma Lakshmi

    Padma Lakshmi

    We don't need to explain why this Emmy-winning Indian beauty is on this list. She also made Maxim's.

  6. Aida Mollenkamp

    Aida Mollenkamp

    Aida Mollenkamp, the youngest chef in our slideshow, originally pursued classical ballet. A skiing accident took her to the kitchen.

  7. Cat Cora

    This Iron Chef might not be into guys, but she's into looking good.

  8. Martha Stewart

    Martha Stewart

    If you think danger is sexy, Martha Stewart's your gal. She's been in prison. 'Nuff said.

Paula Deen Named 'Hottest Female Chef': Who's the Hottest Female Chef?

When you think "hot female chef," what's the first name that pops into your head? Nigella Lawson? Rachael Ray? Giada De Laurentiis? All good choices, but Maxim passed on all of them to make room for their official Hottest Female TV Chef. They decided to go with 64-year-old Southern chef Paula Deen.

Allow Maxim to explain. The publication writes, "Anthony Bourdain may think she's the most dangerous person in America thanks to her calorie-packed cooking, but we find danger sexy. Just imagining the slippery, sloppy butter-sex we'd have with Paula makes us... hungry for a bacon-wrapped, beer batter-fried stick of butter, weirdly."

Maybe not the route we would have gone, but fair enough. If fried, fatty foods are the key to your heart, look no further than Mrs. Deen. We're sure that the twice-married Emmy-winning cooking show host could melt your heart, throw it in a deep frier, and slather it in mayonnaise like no one else. (And that's just the first course.)

To be fair, Maxim admits it's a little bit of a joke. While their other selections, such as Padma Lakshmi and Aida Mollenkamp, had sexy photos along with their names, for Paula's profile they simply left an image of a stick of butter. Still, as long as we're going with this "sexy danger" theme, we had to include Martha Stewart. (What's sexier than securities fraud, right?)

We're pitting Deen against some of the sexiest female TV chefs we can think of (and Martha Stewart) to find out who the real winner is. Will she still come out on top against the likes of Rachael Ray and De Laurentiis? Click through our slide show and let us know who you think is the hottest female TV chef.

    I had to flip a coin between Paula Deen and Nigella Lawson. Rachael Ray would've been in the running too if she hadn't gotten her vocal chords "fixed".

    I know a few Southern women that speak just like Paula Deen. One of them is even shares her first name.

    What's fake about Paula Deen is those photoshopped pictures.

    Nigella stands out for me because she comes off as being very sexual, instead of just being pretty.
