January food television inspires home cooks to head into the kitchen
From the return of Hell’s Kitchen: Battle of the Ages to America’s Text Kitchen: The Next Generation, January food television is serving up tasty culinary inspiration. Even though the home cook might not be stepping into the professional kitchen, there are plenty of terrific lessons to learn from these food television chefs.
One of the hidden gems on food TV is America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation. The Amazon Freevee show is more than giving the winner a new home in a food institution. As viewers watch, they are picking up numerous cooking tips. Whether it is a tip on making that spectacular board, reimagining classic dishes, or keeping the flavor in spite of a substitute, these challenges are adaptable to real life.
As football fans prepare for the ultimate end of season game, NFL Tailgate Takedown on Food Network and discovery+ brings the best of NFL food to the table. Even if viewers aren’t sitting in the stadium, these football cities put on a great food spread. From cheese curds to Buffalo chicken, tailgating and homegating can get even more inspired.
Another Food Network favorite is returning to the screen with a new twist. Worst Cooks highlights influencers outside of their comfort zone. When the real world kitchen tests those viral videos beyond the 30 second mark, the results might not be picture perfect. This challenge proves that viral food trends might need to be taken with a grain of salt.
While Food Network might have a hint of instructional in those food television shows, Hell’s Kitchen: Battle of the Ages has a fair share of “eatertainment” in each episode. Although the professional chefs have a big prize on the line, the challenges do have elements that the home cook can learn to appreciate. From properly cooking a steak to even learning a trick or two for Taco Night, there are elements that are applicable to the home cook.
With some people starting anew with healthy eating resolutions or wanting to explore more flavor, January food television is set to inspire people to get into the kitchen and cook. More importantly, the information learned might keep people from being hungry for the next 11 months.
