“There is no sincerer love than the love of food” – George Bernard
Shaw.
Nowadays in India there are a lot of Cooking Shows, Cooking Contests
and Food related programs on TV by Lifestyle channels like TLC and NDTV Good
Times, and most Regional Language Entertainment channels and even News
channels. It appears that you can see at least one Cooking show at any time of
the day. I like watching these shows. I watch some cooking and food related programs
by choice and at times by chance, as I am browsing for some entertainment. Our
family, especially I and my brother were interested in these shows even when we
had only one TV Channel, the B & W Doordarshan! And now my eldest son also
loves watching these shows and preparing some foods as per the shows. These programs
have taught us a lot. They have tempted and encouraged us to prepare and enjoy
a variety of foods. They have educated us on many aspects of cooking, simple to
exotic recipes, deeper understanding of cooking methods, foods and condiments,
tips and ideas and most importantly increased our passion for new foods and cooking,
and taught us a lot on food presentation. These Television food programs shall
always continue to be a big source of entertainment and information to us.
I have downloaded several Gigabytes of innumerable shows and
recipes with utmost interest. Of course it is a different matter that with so
many Cooking programs being telecast I do not have the need to watch my
precious downloads, as of now.
The main purpose of writing this article is to announce my
interest in the upcoming “India Vs. Pakistan” Cookery Show! called “Foodistan”;
being telecast by NDTV Good Times. This program will be launched on 23rd
January 2012 and will be telecast at 9:30 PM, Monday to Wednesday. Any contest
between India and Pakistan, whether it is hockey or cricket or any other game,
will be of great interest and excitement to us. Same would be the case in this
contest but the difference is that we would love the performance of both the
teams as they would be cooking mouth-watering delicacies! The show will have
eight professional and prominent Chefs from India and Pakistan dishing out the
best of recipes featuring the cuisines and food traditions of their countries.
I am anxiously looking forward to watch this program without
missing a single episode. Who wins the contest is not at all important to me, I
am just interested in the wonderful foods they are going to create and how they
are going to create.
I
hope you too would love to watch this program.
