Food and TV

Monday 21 February 2011

It seems to me that recently British TV has been hit by this sudden cooking craze...

All i saw during christmas time was food programmes and today turning on the TV first thing I see is a new TV programme called 'cookery school'.
Cooking has now been turned into reality TV and I can assure it has a big hit, ever since Jamie's school dinners the food has been a major issue in Britain and mostly on TV especially on CH4.
CH4 has 4 chef's programme, Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Heston Blumenthal. Each cook has a different approach to cooking.
Gordon Ramsay is a more harsh kind of chef always swearing but it gives you the idea that it's like that in well known restaurants.Jamie Oliver is more of a home and simple food made easy type of chef.Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall part from his long and unpronounsable surname is all about using local food and making the most of what's in season, and finally Heston Blumenthal is the experimental chef, he fall in the kind of molecular cuisine that we can see from Adria in Barcelona.
I hope that those show help people realise that making your own food and knowing how to choose proper ingredients is much better and fun than ready meals and take aways, even on a low budget and no time.

However I have to say that maybe a patisserie show should be made as most people love dessert and as I like to say life is too short to leave the dessert until the end!
