Have you wondered if cooking is an art or a skill? In my opinion, you can acquire a keen skill for dishing out palette-teasing food. But when you do so consistently, you have mastered the art.
The TV channel Food Network showcases people who understand and practise the art of cooking. I could sit and watch these folks cook for an entire day and still want to see more of their tricks. I'm not sure the shows always inspire my culinary creativity. But there is something so ideal and artistic about the well-lit, aethetic kitchen settings; the perennially new-looking pots and pans; the fresh and colourful veggies, fruits and herbs... I could go on.
The chefs work towards their promise on each of their shows. I find Rachael Ray's 30-minute meals especially engaging. It is a dream to have to spend just 30 minutes in the kitchen (one hour tops, inclusive of cleaning up). I may not exactly recreate her platters in my kitchen, but I certainly try to mimic her fast and efficient style where possible.
Who is your favourite Food Network chef, and what about the chef or the show do you like most?
