Do you watch cooking shows for inspiration, entertainment, nothing else on, or never? I watch cooking shows for many reasons. They inspire me, give me new ideas, they sometimes entertain me, and also watch it just cause nothing else is on. My favorite cooking shows are IronChef: America and Rachel Ray 30 Minute Meals. What about you?

I love watching cooking shows. I love it so much, that I go to bed with the food channel on each night. My favorites are Emmeril alive, Iron Chef, cake and candy makings and that southern lady.

Look little the tv, time ago was every day a perioso from my mother looks at a broadcast called "cook's the test". Hate the kind, they tell many lies, make everything easy and fast, with few money seem and few ingredients prepare I wonder that, if he tries us you are cheaped. Do not believe in what say, prefer a recipe a good book . In TV they do everything fast and easy, but it is not like that. I prefer use my fantasy.

I have watched cooking shows when there is going to be a type of food made that interests me to learn more. There are great tips given that help save time in the kitchen. I'm always looking for foods made without dairy and nuts, so if you see any that would be great for me to view just send me a message. This past season I watched Top Chef, which was interesting to see how fast people could make a dish and plan to watch next season.

Yes, I do like to watch cooking shows but we don't really many of that here. But whenever possible I will watch it and learn cooking tips, the different uses of ingredients in dishes, the correct steps to take when cooking a certain dish, etc.. the list goes on because there is so much I can learn from it. I especially like easy to cook meals which doesn't require too many ingredients and which doesn't involve deep frying. Nowadays the byword is health and low fat so I also learn ways to reduce fat in cooking. Cheers!

i would have love to watch the shows. but i never get the chance to hold the remote and see anything. if its something which i feel that i can make, i would take down the recipie but all it is possible if i can watch it, which it is quite impossible.
