Food TV

In Japan, the original Food TV program was Iron Chef.

Despite being filmed up to 15 years ago, Iron Chef is still an amazing program to watch despite the average person not being able to take much away from the show in terms of their own culinary development.

What has happened in the past 5 years is the development of many interesting Food TV programs that are informative, educational and exciting.

Most Australian’s will have seen MasterChef Australia but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

In the UK, Masterchef has been running since 1990 and has spawned 2 spin off series, Masterchef: The Professionals and Masterchef Celebrity Challenge which have all been highly successful.

There is The Cook and The Chef with Maggie Beer and Simon Bryant in Australia, Bill Granger is doing a new series aimed at bringing British people to Australia called Bills Holiday, Bravo TV in America has Top Chef and Top Chef Masters hosted by Tom Collichio and there are numerous others that are great to watch and learn.

If you are interested in food, you can see most of these on the internet, there are recipes, ideas, video clips and tips so jump online and have a look for your self.
