This
article from The Guardian website caught my eye earlier, it says that X of us
have been inspired to cook more after watching cookery shows. This is
definitely true of myself and below I have listed a few of my favourites to
watch:
The Great British Bake Off
You can’t go far wrong with this show. Mary Berry, cakes and
expensive cooking equipment all float my boat plus the bakers are amateurs. It
is refreshing to watch a show where people occasionally make mistakes,
especially as they are all mistakes we’ve all made before. Finish it off with a
dusting of the comedians Mel & Sue and this show keeps me happy all summer!
(Does anyone else have full debriefs of this show in the office the morning
after?!)
River Cottage and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
There is a chance I love this show because I love the
kitchen it is set in. But also the food that is cooked seems hearty and
wholesome plus I really enjoy watching Hugh as a chef. One of my favourite
dishes that he cooks is Chicken with Tomatoes and Taragon. It is pretty easy to make and really yummy. Let
me know how you get on if you give it a try.
Jamie Oliver
I love all Jamie Oliver shows, he comes across as such a
nice guy in all his programmes and makes cooking simple. He has definitely
inspired me to try new things and I have a fair few of his cookery books.
Great British Menu
This show is one of mine and James’ favourites to watch
together. It features professional chefs from all regions of the UK to win the
opportunity to cook a course for an important themed banquet, for example this
years banquet was for the D-Day Veterans. I don’t think I will ever attempt any
of the amazing food that is cooked on this show, but I seriously enjoy dreaming
about the food that they produce and the banter between the judges is always
great fun.
I must also give a shout out to one of the shows that got me
into cooking at a young age which is Two Fat Ladies. You can’t go far wrong with
two women cooking delicious food and riding around on a motorbike with side-car.
What are your favourite cookery shows?
