Strawberry fluffies

These are amazing. I have had them.

cooking show inspired by ratatouille where master chefs watch complete amateurs try to cook increasingly difficult dishes from a shoulder-mounted camera and try to instruct them through an earpiece do you see my vision

I absolutely love cooking shows that have an absolutely off the wall premise, and refuse to watch anything else.

Cutthroat Kitchen- you can SABOTAGE your fellow cooks, but you have to buy them with your prize money. Alton Brown is 1 egg away from being institutionalized.

Crime Scene Kitchen- figure out what was cooked, and duplicate it. Make the right thing badly? You're fine! Make the wrong thing absolutely beautifully, so perfectly that the judges cry from the pure and wonderful flavor? You're fucked go HOME.

Is It Cake? You must make a cake look like a thing and then people must guess which thing is cake among a group of the things. The judge then tries to cut open a shoe with a butter knife. Chaos.

Are there any other cooking shows out there that clearly show that at least one executive out there still has a sense of humor?

the clones, raised on Kaminoan rations, literally can't stomach ordinary foodstuffs, and it would take a significant amount of time, effort, and resources they don't have during the war to change that

that doesn't stop several clones from taking up cooking

this does not, however, mean that they need test subjects

the Jedi are conscripted as taste testers while the entire battalion stares them down, eager to demand descriptions of the taste and gustatory experience, and even develop complicated Jedi-reaction ranking schemes to compare their prowess in the kitchen

for battalions assigned to non-human Jedi with different dietary needs and restrictions, this is taken as an extra level of challenge

it becomes a symbol of pride when a Jedi brags about their troopers' cooking to one of their peers

Been seeing all these posts about normal people doing the Olympics but can we extend this to cooking shows. Normal people who’ve never eaten a famous chef’s food or eaten at a Michelin star restaurant. Normal people who can make spaghetti and soup but never went to culinary school. Or people who just microwave a pot pie and call it a night. Just normal people judging on cooking competition shows. What stands out to the palate of your everyday citizen. Not just for the rich.

We're watching Kids Baking Championship, and the twist this time is to add ginger to their cakes, and this kid Matthew says, "I'm a superhero at peeling ginger. When I get in trouble, my mom makes me do it because she knows I don't like it"

And he's Asian, so you know his family is cooking with a lot of ginger 😂😂

Also? It's so funny. Props to his mom for coming up with a unique 'punishment' that's also helpful

Gordon Ramsay: This year we received submissions from thousands of people looking to take their chef game to the next level.

Me: Good Gods, why -- haven't they ever watched The Bear? Or Kitchen Nightmares? Or literally any show about working in a restaurant ever?

This did not go well.

Watching Jock Zonfrillo's final season of masterchef 🥺💔

Kudos or blame go to @hellspawnsparks for getting the entire family sucked into DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON. If you ever had a really weird D&D group this is the show for you. It's like the 80s D&D cartoon and a Japanese cooking show had a (bizarre and delightful) baby.

Cooking show where they bring on a bunch of experimental chefs and in each challenge they have to create a new meal but using only the ingredients on a given university student's fridge and only within the time a fresh out of high school first-time-living-alone university student would dedicate to meal prep. The fridges get worse and the prep time gets shorter each episode in order to cut contestants

Comedy culinary gold

OUR DINING TABLE... thank you for coming to me

Honestly I was in a bl-drama slump(? idk if this is a correct explanation but yeah) and Our Dining Table came to me like ''oh... i'm your savior'' its turns out they certainly were.

I'm definetly a slice-of life eater. Plus cooking- theme lover. How perfect can a drama be?

Yukata (ehehe)'s life looks simple from the outside yet he has traumas from his childhood and thats making him making him prevent eating with others. And two beautiful brothers making him welcome to their table. (and this is going to be found-familyish theme ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL TROPE) PERFECT! PERFECT!

I want to talk a lot about it, but on the one hand, I can't put my words together.

I love everything about this show so far but I like this most; how they give the message ''Most important thing is We are together, and We can enjoy our meals no matter what situtation is...''

They give me hope. They give me hope about life's situtations... I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

Who are y’all rooting for for season two finale of Crime Scene Kitchen I gotta know

One of the weirdest things about watching older cooking competition shows is that occasionally you get the urge to look up one of the contestants.

Most of them are pretty nice: “is a happy stay at home mom” “got employed at a really nice place” “opened their own bakery” “left the industry but still loves to cook for friends and family.”

Some just disappear. Nothing bad, just not really an online presence after that season/episode.

And then you get “in jail for murder so we will never air this episode/season again.”

If I had a nickel for each time I found that last one, I’d have two nickels.

So Mythical Kitchen recently collaborated with Sorted Food and of course I've now been binging Sorted videos on YouTube. Never has the phrase "separated by a common language" been made so extremely relevant as in a cooking show.

I already knew about most of the word substitutions (aubergine = eggplant, courgette = zucchini, etc.), but it's a trip hearing them in the wild, so to speak. "Or-eh-GAH-no" is going to drive me slightly mad one day. And I may have tried to reach through the screen to strangle someone at the tenth hard t on "fil(l)et."*

It's good fun, though. And it inspired me to actually cook multiple meals this week as opposed to reaching for freezer meals. (This could also be because the MRSA sinus infection from hell is maaaaaybe going away and I have some energy finally? I'm saying that very quietly and carefully because it's only been two weeks since the revision surgery and I still have three weeks of antibiotic rinses to go, but the main symptom--copious amounts of infectious-looking green goo--has almost entirely disappeared. But I've been fooled before and am not going to be confident it's gone until I'm done with the abx.)

*I looked this one up and apparently the British pronunciation is that way because they borrowed it from French soon after the Norman invasion--when it was still sometimes being spelled with two l's and had a voiced t at the end--while Americans borrowed it in the 19th century, when it had lost the second l and the voiced t. Here I always thought it was the British being extremely petty in re: the French!
