How Cooking Has Been Brought To TV

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


No one can deny the fact that cooking, in many senses, is an art. It is able to bring life to some of the most amazing dishes, some of them more intricate than others, and this is one of the many reasons why people get involved in the culinary arts. Others do so because, through hard work, they may be able to find their way on television. To say that cooking has a place on TV would be an understatement, especially when you think about the audience it possesses.

When talking about the audiences in question, you have to look at those who enjoy food. Specifically, consider the fact that many people watch these shows and go on to prepare their own meals, whether they have been televised or not. Nonetheless, they are able to present learning experiences to these men and women with culinary prowess. I also think that it's important to focus on the entertainment side of things, which I will get into a bit later.

If you want to talk about cooking-themed shows, look at the likes of Rachael Ray and Bobby Flay. These individuals, in addition to many others, have been able to showcase their culinary skills in such a way that they can teach others. Not only do they expose the broader audience to various meals but, more often than not, they do so while being entertainment. The only way to maintain a cooking show, in this day and age, is to mix entertainment value with actual knowledge.

If you want to look at more entertainment-oriented shows, look at some of the programs that Gordon Ramsay has been part of. Known for his outspoken demeanor, to put it lightly, Ramsay has been able to parlay his culinary experience into shows like "Kitchen Nightmare." When he's able to show what is done wrong, in hospitality management and the like, he's a more effective personality for it. The reason for this is because food specialists trust his word.

If you want to talk about cooking, as it relates to television, there is quite a bit to discuss. You have to consider the fact that cooking can help to entertain people, which has been seen through the many different television shows out there. What about talk shows, which help people see how a litany of recipes is made? Television is, without question, a strong platform for cooking and there's not a single person who can say otherwise on the matter.
