But, whenever I happen to watch TV, I usually stop for a film somewhere. Still, when there is no interesting movie or if they have started half an hour ago, I go zapping through the channels looking for... Something. And sometimes this Something is a cooking show. What is it with cooking shows that arouse my interest like no other shows? I have never found appealing the "Big Brother" type of shows or "Find me a wife" or anything similar. And even less interesting I find a show concentrated on the local actual "celebrities" who are willing to show on TV all their issues and problems. But a cooking show!
First reaction is curiosity: "let's see what is it that they are trying now"
Next is suspicion: "is it OK to mix those ingredients? Hmm... It doesn't seem tasty nor appealing"
And eventually amazement: "Wow! It looks soooo good! Wow! The texture seems perfect! Wow! Look at them tasting and enjoying!"
Followed by the obvious: " I should try this"
And then the also obvious: " Wait, what were the ingredients?"
So I have only once managed to locate online the recipe for the tasty looking food I had just seen on TV. And it turned out perfect. It was American Pancakes, someone's recipe. But it was worth looking and locating. I followed that recipe two or three times and now, that I'm writing about it, I am thinking about making them again.
But! My main question remains: what is it with these cooking TV shows that makes them almost irresistible?
