A Renaissance for Family Cooking
19 February 2019
No where else in the history of mankind can we attribute the task of cooking but, to "Family." We have passed down recipes for generations, perfected techniques for thousands of years and created the art of culinary adventures within the structure of socio-demographics. I appreciate that this show encompasses families of diverse backgrounds even, the eclecticism thereof. It is, without due, a British influence to home cooking however! Lol. I am most engaged watching families cook their masterpieces. There are aspects of accompanying ancestral stories that I truly believe are amiss. The evolution of Reality TV should surely find a way to document such experiences of their subjects more so in the future whereas, I think, we have too much emphasis on "in-the-moment" emotions as easily criticized by the audience. Nevertheless, I am elated that cooking continues to be a demand in perhaps, it's founded genre of media. Giorgio and Rosemary are a delectable judging pair panel to this series. They are both critical and comforting which makes it fun and almost suspenseful at times at the attempts to impress such experts. Their commentary is useful while bringing the home cook into the realm of professional culinary arts by way of competition. The hosts, Zoe and Nadiya are another ode to the British and their reality cooking tele. I could sense their evolving and much appreciated focus on the competitors ''stories" more within each episode of my watching of the first season. I am rather entertained with ability to watch such international television. I love it! I love cooking and I love family! I look forward in continuing my foodie media journey with this show!
