Episode 8: Cooking Shows

What is a show that you are currently watching? This question always brings up discussion and recommendations. My recommendation to you is to start watching cooking shows. If you are a beginner, learning to cook, or just want to learn more, cooking shows are such a great way to learn!

I love watching cooking shows because it (almost) is as if you are in the kitchen with the chef and they are telling you what to do. The chefs explain why they are making the choice that they are. The chefs also explain different techniques. I also like cooking shows because they introduce new foods, ingredients, and cultures. I love seeing examples of how different cultures use different ingredients or use different spices in their food.

There are so many incredible cooking shows! A few of my favorites are The Great British Baking Show, The Great British Baking Show Masterclass, Salt Fat Acid Heat, Nadiya’s Time to Eat, and The Chef Show. I also love watching shows that are surrounded by food like Somebody Feed Phil and The Final Table. Every show has something to offer and something to teach.

I think it is important to remember that you are a student with questions when you watch a cooking show. I am always thinking about why a chef is making the choice that they are or how I can incorporate their tips into my everyday cooking. Cooking shows are just one of the resources that I use to help improve my cooking and learn more!
