Read this fascinating article in the NY Times by Michael Pollan title ‘Out of the Kitchen, onto the couch‘. It is a hilarious look at the growing trend in America ( I would argue this is becoming a world-wide phenomenon, though) of watching other people cook, on TV, without lifting a finger to cook for oneself. Pollan argues that the proliferation of cooking shows on TV in no way implies that cooking is taking off in homes across the country; rather it simply points to the attraction food holds for us; in Pollan’s words, cooking has turned into a “spectator sport”. Thus audiences watch these cookery shows with keen interest & then promptly order a take-out or pull out a frozen dinner from the microwave.
