BEST Food Shows on TV

Its no more like the earlier cookery shows on air. Now, it all about making it quick and making it easy. They have helped hell lot in making me more innovative and allowing me to test and try as much of the craziest things as I want. You start believing that there is no one recipe to anything...just do it as you want it. Slowly you start knowing the value of each and every ingredient and hence you know how much to add to match your taste. This is risky in case of bread baking, but trust me, the results are as rewarding.

I am a HUGE admirer of Food shows that come on Travel & Living:

1. Kylie Kwong: Heart and Soul
This lady knows chinese food in and out. She can make you cook it just as well as she does it. Its damn simple and really super quick. I have never ever in my life cooked such amazing authentic chinese noodles. I loved it!! Best compliment: from where did you order it?

2. Nigella Feasts
A super charming and highly elegant lady, who makes you fall in love with rich creamy fatty food and presents it with such ease and taste. She comes forth with quick dishes than can be prepared when the guests have reached your place. Her presentation and casualness can remind you of your mom in the kitchen.

The best part about the above shows: They dont restrict you to specific ingredient quantities that you need to write down and rather use more generalised terms like handful, as per taste and also let you calm down if you dont find any ingredient.

3. Anthony Bourdain- No reservations
This 50 year old handsome guy roams the whole of world, eating eating and eating. He surely introduces you to almost every cuisine, both served on the street and as well as in a five star. You learn so much about authentic cuisines all around the world. This broadens up your perspective.

4. Planet Food- Mexico
Tyler travels the whole of Mexico to bring across the authentic heart and soul of mexican food apart from what is presented in the Americanized version.

5. Floyd's India

Floyd travels around India and bring to you the diversity in taste and food. This surely reduces your apprehensions regarding what is to cooked in which manner. It allows you to keep trying different versions to come up with your won best. he even cooks for you as makes it look so easy.

One program which teaches you more than just recipe, baking, chopping, etc. is Hell's Kitchen. It will make you come face to face with operations, time management, team work, working under constant pressure and above all, the presentation of food. It goes into so much detail that for people like me who run or aspire to run their restaurant, will surely benefit.

All this has finally helped me in my sandwich preparation. It allows me to test and try with various different fillings and breads. Keep your eyes and taste buds on, you can learn so much.
