Off the couch and into the kitchen

Attempting a special dish in the kitchen with success is a real-time experience, unlike foodie TV shows

BY AVI CHANDIOK

know it’s sacrilegious to show even a sneaking dislike of food programmes on TV but I ask for forgiveness in advance, being one of the few who would rather not watch them. It’s almost unheard of to press the ‘off’ button or change channels when these programmes are on. Cooking shows have taken the airwaves by storm and provided a rich source of content for the media. Don’t get me wrong, I have no objection to others enjoying these shows, but they are not for me.
