Cooking shows are all the rage right now, whether it’s because people are cooking at home more, or just enjoying watching food porn. Netflix added dozens of cooking and food shows to its streaming site this year, with a variety of food-watching options, from mouthwatering documentary series to reality TV cooking competitions.
225 compiled a list of its top picks for cooking shows to stream on Netflix:
• “Street Food”—Created by David Gelb and Brian McGinn, the same producers of documentary series, “Chef’s Table,” each episode takes viewers to a different country, introducing them to cooks who made a name for themselves on the streets of countries like Japan, Thailand and India.
• “The Big Family Cooking Showdown”—Every week, this competitive cooking series based in the United Kingdom features two families-of-three battling for the winning title. The teams make family recipes for the judges, like Irish cream ice cream and smoked chili pork tacos with apple and avocado salsa.
• “Salt Acid Fat Heat”—Based on the best-selling cookbook, Salt Acid Fat Heat by Samin Nosrat, this four-part Netflix documentary of the same name discusses the four elements of good cooking, according to the James Beard Award-winning chef.
