All those cooking shows making things that I probably wouldn't eat. There's nothing better than the family recipe box. Here is a simple little sauce that will make baked beans special. 1/2 c. brown sugar , 1 TB mustard, 1/2 c. ketchup ,1 t worcheshire sauce and some minced onion. Add this to a large can of Bush's Original baked beans. Next, try 1 8 oz can tomato sauce, 1/2 c. ketchup, 2 T. sugar, 2 T vinegar and 1 t. worcheshire sauce. Add this to fried hamburger to make delicious Sloppy Joes. Enjoy!

I like watching cooking shows but I'm not a fan of anything too complicated to cook or bake. Also, can't afford too many ingredients just for one dish.

I did love watching MKR until it became more about different personalities and dramas rather than about the cooking. I have occasionally watched Master Chef. I read recipes and try them out. Most of them are not not to my liking, so I usually only cook it once. It doesn't matter if it is vegetarian or not. I like to try different recipes. Edited 03-Jul-24 22:35pm

We don't watch most of them, the recipes are too complicated. A couple of tablespoons of sweet paprika in the spag bol gives it a sweet, smokey flavour and smell

The last food-related show I had the liberty to watch and enjoy was "Restaurants at the end of the World". Often, I source my recipes from cookbooks. One specific recipe I'd like to share is called Creamy Chickpea Pot Pie Soup from Dustin Harder's Epic Vegan book. Ingredients: celery ribs, chickpeas, carrots, onion, garlic, olive oil, cashews, corn, peasEdited 03-Jul-24 20:37pm

I just finished watching MasterChef tonight Lol,enjoy that cooking show! I use You Tube as well and also try out different recipes regularly.I used to use Pinterest but found their App too invasive and untrustworthy.You Tube is way better and easier to use.

Hate the cooking shows when it comes to using olive oil almost makes me vomit .Use to watch a lady on tv when I was young and she would have her apron on and cook meals with every day pantry items and very simple methods just loved that someone measured every thing for her .

At my age simpler is best. Hubby is not very impressed with exotica in his meals. If all else pales, he's delighted with Spaghetti Bol. I just like plain grilled or fried meat and on our budget it's usually 2/3rds vegetables mainly picked from our garden and chops, meatballs or pork schnitzels for the meat with a hearty tomato sauce or a red wine sauce if we are having steak.

I hate cooking and do it because I have to. When my family were young I would spend one day making cakes and at the ned of the day I'd have a sink full of dirty pots and pans then everything would be eaten so there was nothing to show how I had spent my time. I gave up making cakes a few years ago as they went mouldy because the 2 of us weren't able to eat all of it so it's easier to buy something and now the simpler the better. However, I do enjoy cooking in my slow cooker. I'd had a few but when I saw the one by Sunbeam that sears as well as slow cooks I bought it because there is one less thing to wash up.

The Diet Chef is really good, there are many others on the Internet. I cook mainly vegetarian dishes, soups, sautéed or baked veggies, not always following a recipe 100%. Favourite recipe: easy, quick and tasty.

I used to watch Good chef Bad chef. If you haven't watched it,then you may need to stream,unsure if it's still current. A well know chef and a nutritionist cook with the same ingredients to make healthy and also more indulgent meals. Love it. I like cooking healthy,and always try to keep to that. But sometimes I like to add some ingredients to add richness and more flavour or make something as a treat. Easy to follow,anybody can replicate majority of recipes. Also a fan of Naked chef and follow on shows. My eldest son and I saw him at a show he did in Melbourne many,many years ago. Fantastic.

I'm an instinctive cook - and a good one - I don't like all these reality cooking shows at all - I can't watch them. I do however like watching real chefs, mostly English. They can pimp up a plain dish very simply without any fuss - that appeals to me. My tastes lean to Southern Cooking USA, and European - always an adventure, and always easy!

I love cooking and try new recipes from books or from Taste or any other online recipe forum. I don't watch Master Chef although I do like The Chef and The Cook. I remember doing a chocolate omelette, I only ever cooked it once. I found it too sickly. We have rather simple tastes and we both enjoy cooking. I do a lot of the prep and hubby cooks. Now that it is winter a casserole or a soup goes down very well and so simple to do.

Never watch cooking shows. Watching dead animal parts made into something to satisfy taste buds. These shows should show the whole process on how that cow, lamb, pig, seafood, etc. gets to your plate.

Unfortunately, I don't share your enthusiasm for cooking and, because I have a problem with loving to eat, I have to be careful of both what I watch on TV, and what I buy from the store. I've lost 45 pounds on my own, and I want to keep it off, but I applaud your desire, and skills! ;-D

  Basically, I cut my calorie intake to 1200 a day, but it would depend on your size (I'm 5'2" and was eating 1500 a day), I drink fluid (not plain water) about every 2 hours (8am, 10am, noon, and so on, until 10pm), and I do intermittent fasting. That's 16 hours with no solid food. So, I eat breakfast at 11am and dinner by 7pm. I used to work swing shift, and I'm still on that schedule! I go from 7pm to 11am without eating, BUT, I DO drink fluids. My choice is green tea, coffee, or lemonade made with Real Lemon bottled juice. There are other things I do, like eat hot sauce daily, dill pickles and put cinnamon on my cereal but, if you can cut calories, drink fluids and fast 16 hours, you, too, can do it! I weighed 180, and now I weigh 135 and am maintaining it! I averaged 1 pound a week, but consistently, and it took me about 10 months, but it's worth it. Now I eat whatever I want, weigh myself once a week, and cut back if I gain a pound or two, and back down I go! Try it! YOU CAN DO IT! I wish you well! ;-D

  I'm so used to my routine, I forgot to tell you an important start to my day! I start each day with 8 ounces of ice water, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 packet of artificial sweetener! Before Anything else! I lost 5 pounds the first week I incorporated lemon juice into my diet. Sorry ;-o

  You Can Do It! I didn't think I'd do any good, so I was pleasantly surprised when the pounds slowly started coming off! I had a lot of bad "belly fat" that's gone now. Of course, I eat the same breakfast and lunch daily, so I only had to account for meals in the evening. Fluids, Fasting and Following Through will work. It was harder at first, but gets easier as results are seen. ;-D Please keep me updated on how you're doing! Remember, loosing slowly is better than a quick fix, and you won't gain it all back. My journey ended February 14, 2024, and I'm having no trouble maintaining my new weight! Oh, don't weight more than once a week because you will fluctuate. I weigh every Tuesday morning before I eat any food, and before I shower, with no clothes on, so I get a true 'body' weight. ;-D Edited 04-Jul-24 16:05pm
