The shows that come on the food network are so much fun to watch! I don’t know how anyone can watch them and then not want to cook after. I like to watch Fabulous Cakes, Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes, and Top Chef the most. After I took the cake decorating class, I have a whole new appreciation for it. I understand the time, difficulty, and tediousness that goes into it. Everyone is always so surprised by how expensive they are but it actually is not that bad. All the supplies and icing that go into making those cakes is incredibly expansive. And plus, it is the most time consuming and tedious job I can think of. It requires incredible patience and creativity. Their job is defiantly not an easy one. Then on Top Chef, the challenges they have to do are so crazy, and then what they come up with is incredible. They have all these recipes on the top of their heads all the time and they are put through so many challenges and still come up with incredible results. I was watching Top Chef last night and one of the challenges was to go in Target and collect all the supplies and foods that were available in Target and cook a meal for a hundred or more Target employees all in the Target store in the middle of the night within three hours. It was intense. But the food looked so good still! One guy used a iron to make grill chesses, it was very innovative. He won that challenge and got 25,000 dollars too. They are also so good at just throwing things together without a recipe. It always amazes me what they can make and create with the limited amount of supplies and time they are given. But anyways, I think the food network is a great excuse to watch TV and could inspire anybody to want to cook. I know I want to!

As I write this comment my husband is watching the Darlington 500 race- your picture was quite apropo'!! I thought the car was real and wondered what connection it had to cooking until I read your post and realized the it is EDIBLE!!
ReplyDeleteFood network is my favorite show in the summer! Have you experimented with creating a dish/meal with just what is in the pantry yet?? That could be quite the challenge!!!
