Most cooking “content” today is dogsh*t algorithm driven 15 second videos. Well children, pull up a chair because before Tik Tok and Instagram Stories and Youtube Shorts there was this long lost thing called “The Cooking Show”. You might think “Whatever, I’ve watched the food network?”, but the last time they had an actual instructional show that wasn’t grocery games or sugar structure building competitions was decades ago.
Fear not! Through the joy of piracy, youtube and your favorite streaming network you may be able to track down 6 of THE BEST real, cooking shows. I’m talking the type you crack on, grab a mug of something nice and enjoy the slow burn of a 30–60 min program as you prepare dinner. Watch these and you will learn, I promise.
- River Cottage (The Older The Better)
- Jamie Cooks Italy
- Two Fat Ladies
- Kylie Kwong Heart And Soul
- Bill’s Food
- The ORIGINAL Iron Chef
