I'm a big lover of coleslaw and decided to compare recipes from three different celebrity chefs.Paige Bennett

I made coleslaw recipes from three celebrity chefs: Guy Fieri, Ina Garten, and Sunny Anderson.
The recipes from Fieri and Garten were both delicious but could use some flavor improvements.

Coleslaw is a classic side dish that's simple to make and goes well with lots of different mains. Though I'll typically just grab a ready-made mix, it can easily be overloaded with mayo or lacking spices for flavor.

In hopes of perfecting a recipe I could make at home and impress my friends and family at our next gathering, I decided to test out different recipes from three celebrity chefs: Guy Fieri, Ina Garten, and Sunny Anderson.

Guy Fieri has a classic, creamy coleslaw recipe.

I used ground mustard instead of mustard powder because it was hard to find.Paige Bennett

Making Fieri's creamy coleslaw was about as simple as it gets.

I added the dressing a little at a time.Paige Bennett

I added a little bit of dressing at a time for the best texture.

I didn't add all of the dressing I had made.Paige Bennett

This coleslaw had excellent texture but could use a flavor boost.

I liked the coleslaw's creamy texture.Paige Bennett

Ina Garten's coleslaw is packed with lots of veggies.

Ina Garten specifies the mayonnaise to use in her recipe.Paige Bennett

Using the food processor seemed unnecessary, but it made the prep easy.

I'm not a fan of celery, and this recipe called for celery-based ingredients.Paige Bennett

The recipe called for celery-heavy ingredients.

I liked the dressing other than the heavy celery flavor.Paige Bennett

This would be a top pick for me if it didn't have so much celery flavor.

This recipe's coleslaw had some crunch to it.Paige Bennett

Sunny Anderson's recipe featured multiple sweet ingredients.

I wasn't able to find savoy cabbage.Paige Bennett

Anderson's slaw was easy to mix up and came together in minutes.

The dressing was made from mayonnaise, sour cream, golden raisins, celery seeds, and apple-cider vinegar.Paige Bennett

The rest of the recipe came together quickly.

I thought the raisins were delicious.Paige Bennett

I couldn't stop eating this flavor-packed coleslaw.

The raisins also added a chewy texture to the coleslaw.Paige Bennett

All of these coleslaws were easy to make, but Anderson's unique take was my favorite.
